Are you able to create something bigger than yourself? About the importance of having a company purpose, values and setting goals. Why psychological safety is the most impressionable success factor for creating a high performing team. Always hire people where you can learn from, look ahead in your talent needs. Are people in the team also the right people for the next phase in your company? And do they have the startup skills to bring your company from Zero to One? Brings us back to the question: Are you able to create something bigger than yourself? My 3 key take aways for startup founders: 1. Stay authentic 2. Communicate: Listen more and better 3. Empower everyone in the team to make important decisions. Getting funded is a hard job. Meetings with investors, answer tons of questions and be razor sharp in negotiations. Especially if you realize that after the closing diner with your new investors you should be ready for lightning speed the next morning. Johan van Mil, Peak Capital’s co-founder and managing partner, will present the learnings from our investments in companies such as Catawiki, IENS, StuDocu what your first 100 days plan should be so you are prepared for a rocket take off right after funding. Marnix Broer, founder of StuDocu, will discuss his personal learnings from securing EURO 1,25 Mio from Peak Capital and Point Nine Capital 9 months ago. Paul Musters, founder of Fortify is a former professional athlete and developed a startup team scan. He works with startup teams to develop themselves and attracting the right talent. Target audience is founders of early stage companies that have their team in place (hacker, hustler en hipster founders), making revenue and have a product ready for scaling. Key take away is to be prepared for the questions investors ask when they are really really interested for investing in your company.
