At the recent Founders N' Funders event, I got to see our founder Eduardo Henriques give a quick 30-second pitch for Ponder.ly - a really exciting glimpse into what we're building. For those interested in seeing the full pitch and learning more about our AI-powered consumer intelligence platform, Eduardo Henriques will be presenting at the upcoming Pitch Deck Review Session on May 20th. This is a great opportunity to observe his pitch to a panel of startup experts who will provide valuable feedback. As a co-founder, I'm really passionate about the problem we're solving - enabling brands to ethically collect customer data and generate deep insights, while empowering consumers to control and benefit from sharing their information. Our approach using interactive branded data communities, gamification, and AI is truly innovative. I'd encourage anyone interested in disruptive marketing/research technologies to sign up and check out Eduardo's pitch. It will give you a window into how Ponder.ly is pioneering the future of transparent data exchange between brands and customers. Looking forward to getting more exposure and feedback as we continue growing Ponder.ly into a game-changing platform! Thanks to Jeff Erickson with Founders N' Funders because without his support and unconditional belief in startups like ours, we wouldn't have opportunities like this. Supportive ecosystems play a vital role in nurturing entrepreneurship and innovation. Registration link: https://lnkd.in/guFgMib4 Tanner S. Zyanya Bejarano David Reyes Jose Octavio Carrillo

This is an insightful take on the common advice that you need a cofounder. While having a trusted and complementary cofounder can be beneficial, the risk of a bad cofounder is a significant factor that can lead to startup failure, often due to disagreements. Many successful companies have been built by solo founders, and with the advancements in tools and resources, the potential for solo founders to succeed is only growing. It’s important to choose what’s best for your unique situation rather than following advice from someone who barely knows your context #StartupAdvice #Cofounders #Entrepreneurship #SoloFounders #VCAdvice #StartupSuccess #FounderDisagreement #BusinessInsight #StartupTools #FounderJourney #StartupGrowth #EntrepreneurshipInsights
