1. From Round to Reality
Fundraising & capital strategy
“Fundraising is easy. Closing rounds and avoiding down rounds is hard. The secret? Always putting the customer at the center.”
2. The Traction Play
Marketing & customer engagement
“Investors don’t buy plans – they buy traction. That’s why long-term financing must go hand in hand with customer engagement that drive us toward product-market fit.”
3. How to Find Truly Entrepreneurial People
Finding and retaining high skilled entrepreneurial talents who love your startup and want to bet on its success with equity
Traditional job ads attract candidates seeking stability and compensation. But if you're looking for entrepreneurial talent , those driven by ownership and impact – you need a different approach.
4. The Entrepreneur’s Edge
Founder leadership & mindset
“Being a founder means carrying the vision when no one else sees it, making decisions in uncertainty, and creating something that’s never existed. When the entrepreneur grows, the company grows.”
5. Leveraging AI in Your Product
AI strategy & regulation
“The AI Act is changing the game for anyone building with AI. For startups, understanding the implications is critical. It’s not just about compliance – it’s about trust, transparency, and competitive advantage.”
