Starting out, Malik McCray and I used every corner of our homes as makeshift warehouses—living among stacks of inventory, shipping each order ourselves. I know we aren't alone here. But those days taught me so much about resilience, resourcefulness, and how every small win adds up. Today, that journey inspires me as Simpliworks supports other entrepreneurs who are in the early stages, knowing that even the biggest dreams often begin in humble spaces. #StartupJourney #BuildingFromTheGroundUp

For startups, it’s easy to get lost in the hustle of hitting numbers. But true success happens when you focus on building something meaningful. The journey is about turning ideas into impact, creating connections, and staying grounded in your mission. At Simpliworks, we believe in supporting brands that are chasing their vision—because that’s what truly stands out in the market. We were reminded of this earlier this month when we attended the Venture Atlanta Conference where we met so many innovative founders and fellow pitch finalists all building something meaningful. #StartupMindset #ChaseTheVision #EntrepreneurJourney #Simpliworks #VA2024

82% of large companies recognize the importance of engaging with startups for innovation, yet few collaborations successfully bring new ideas to life. What makes it so hard? Startups are known for their agility and risk-taking, while corporations often have established processes, bottlenecks, and resistance to change. This clash often results in misaligned expectations, misunderstandings, and missed opportunities. In fact, this challenge is so pervasive that many inquire about our secret to building successful relationships with startups. So, we've decided to share our insights right here. Swipe for our top 3 strategies for fruitful collaborations 👇 #StartupCollaboration #Collaboration #StartupTips

I'd like to add another layer to this discussion because I truly believe rising tides lift all boats: Listening ➡ Active listening creates a foundation of trust and respect, essential for navigating the complexities of partnership. Being Curious ➡ Fostering a culture of curiosity encourages both parties to explore innovative solutions without the fear of failure. Do not underestimate the power of these elements. These “soft skills” play a large role in unlocking the full potential of collaborative innovation. #Innovation #Partnership #Agtech #Foodtech #ImpactInvesting

I've been doing some research on startup accelerator models and find myself wondering: How healthy is it to house so many startups under one roof/space and in close proximity? How close is too close? How many events, activities and groups photos is too many? Accelerator are diversified enough to gain from the exchange of experiences and from the influence those founders will have on each other, but is it in the best interest of the founders. If it is good for founders then why are most programs just 4 months long? It would be interesting to compare the most successful accelerators with the mediocre ones when it comes this.
