How can you prosper on the start-up journey?
My guest here in Episode 28 is Lee Lam, founder of The UK’s Start-up Partner.
Lee has a wealth of experience in Technology and Financial Services, holding Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff positions, and now helps founders maximise profit margins using smart operational strategies.
Lee explains:
Why working with start-ups first appealed to her
Why working in a big business doesn’t necessarily prepare you for start-up life
Why it’s difficult for corporates to blank-page the future
How start-ups can disrupt and solve problems quicker than established businesses
Why corporates want to invest in start-ups…and how it could dilute your vision
Why you need to prepare for growth long before it shows itself
Why it can feel like your business is invisible after the initial excitement fades…and how to get through that phase
What the best starting point is for a start-up
Why, post-Covid, all businesses are start-ups now and how to avoid the post-Covid trap
Why the solution is always in finding the right questions to answer
Lee’s best advice is to get an objective opinion on your start-up idea.
Enjoy!
