🚀 Our first episode of Behind the SME is LIVE! 🎙️ Hosted by Adam Kene, we’re thrilled to kick off this exciting journey with an incredible guest: Roei Samuel, CEO & Founder of Connectd, a platform transforming the startup landscape by connecting founders with investors and advisors. In this episode, Roei shares powerful lessons from his own startup experience, including his biggest takeaway from building and exiting RealSport101—everything must flow from revenue. He dives into why focusing on revenue generation is the key to long-term success, especially in an unpredictable world of trends and hype cycles. 💡 “With Connectd, and anything I do now, everything is downstream from revenue. It’s what gives you the time, space, and resources to figure things out along the way. Lead generation and conversion to paying customers—without that, you’re playing a dangerous game.” Whether you’re a startup founder, investor, or SME leader, this episode is packed with actionable insights you won’t want to miss. 🎧 Listen to the full episode now and get inspired by Roei’s journey to building a platform with over 5,000 members and $8M in annual revenue.
