🚨 How Playing by the Rules Almost Killed My Startup 🚨 The video of my The Founders Peak at Point Zero Forum speech is now LIVE on YouTube! 🎥✨ If you’ve ever felt like the traditional path isn’t for you, this talk is for you! 🎯 Sneak Peek: Have you ever played the lottery, hoping for a win? 🎲 I did. But it wasn’t until I stopped chasing luck and started focusing on diversification that I finally saw real results! 🏆 💡 Did you know that only about 5% of startups get VC funding? And of those, only 2% goes to women-led companies. 🚀 In fintech, only around 7% of startups are founded by women. So, while getting the necessary backing as a women-led edufintech startup isn’t quite as unlikely as winning the jackpot in the lottery (yes, did the math! 🎲), it’s still a tough climb. That’s why sticking strictly to the traditional startup model might not be the most promising path to success for everyone. 💪 In this talk, I reveal how we built SmartPurse - Financial Education Experts by embracing diversification out of sheer necessity—across our offerings, revenue streams, and funding strategies. 💡 You also find 3 powerful strategies that helped us not just survive but thrive—simple tips anyone can apply to their own journey. 🚀 🔗 Watch the full speech here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eHZBkwSp If this resonates with you, drop a comment below and share the video with your network!
