🎂 Happy Birthday 🎂 To our good friends at Fuelled (and Steven Darrah) who've grown an incredible business over the last 6 years. It's great working in an ecosystem full of incredible businesses and entrepreneurs - hard not to be inspired everyday. Also, love the video! We are looking forward to working on Bill Cogan's birthday message now. 📽 #startups #tech #enrepreneurs #founders #
It’s our 6th birthday today! 🥳 It’s also Steven Darrah’s birthday this weekend, so we thought we’d make him a little video! He’s not really a melt. But he is terrible at golf. 🫶

Some top tips for first time founders from our very own founder Bill Cogan. 💡 Learn from those ahead of you in the process. It’s rare you can’t find someone who can unlock a problem for you by the end of a quick call or even just by listening to you speak about a problem out loud. Question the source and the applicablity to your own situation but it’s rare (if ever) that the problems you are facing are entirely unique. 💡 Get support earlier than you think. An experienced EA can be an early stage COO if you find the right one. Develop processes for repetitive operations that can delegated ASAP and understand this is not a luxury, it is giving you back several hours a week to drive the business forward (or do anything else). 💡 Consumption vs Production. Produce more than you consume - podcasts, articles etc. are great as you are upskilling but you need a multiple of that time scheduled to deploy learnings effectively across your business or life. Base principles applied consistently trump complex protocols everytime. 💡 If you have a co-founder, make sure you’re both committed to the same vision for the business. If you’re flying solo, build accountability systems (e.g. a coach) to hold you accountable and call you out on your belief systems (BS) as needed. #founders #leadership #startups #scaleups #advice #tech

💬 “A Fractional GC enables a business to engage specialist legal support earlier and with a proactive, solution focused mindset. This means you can start to mitigate risk and plan for long-term success without making the significant outlay of a permanent lawyer who may not move the needle.” Great quote from Boardwave’s recent ‘Ask the Expert’ piece with our very own Head of Commercial and Fractional GC, Saman Harris. 🤓 Partnering with Boardwave and getting to know them and the wider community has been great and as a start-up ourselves we’ve found the content highly valuable. It’s also a great way to meet and learn from other founders and business leaders. If you’re interested in finding out more about our (frankly excellent) Fractional GC service then get in touch! We’d love to hear from you. 📞 #fractionalgc #tech #lawyers #startups #scaleups #boardwave #makingwaves #founders
As a CEO or founder, getting the right legal advice at the right time is crucial. But not all companies need a permanent team of lawyers or an in-house expert. In this article, we asked Saman Harris from Seven Legal to help us explore Fractional General Counsels, so that you can assess if it could be the right fit for your business needs. To discover what Fractional General Counsel is, how it works, and the potential advantages of it, please read Boardwave’s most recent ‘Ask the Expert’: https://lnkd.in/ei-cwCNi We’d like to thank Saman Harris, and the wider team at Seven Legal, for their ongoing support with this article and the wider Boardwave ecosystem. #Boardwave #Makingwaves

A great episode of Now We Build from Forward Pursuit featuring Sam Marchant and Dhiraj Mukherjee the co-founder of Shazam. Our favourite takeaways are: 🏗 Building a successful startup requires a strong and defensible technology - get patents and protect IP where you can 😰 Perseverance and belief in the product are crucial during the early years 💡 Validating ideas involves identifying real-world problems and working backwards to find solutions We are proud to partner with Forward Pursuit who really are leaders in the start-up ecosystem. We'd highly recommend this podcast and PitchDeck by Nick Telson-Sillett for engaging and insightful content from genuine leaders in the industry! #vc #startup #scaleups #highgrowth #tech #content
'All products need a Shazam moment - it's the best example of a value add ah-ha moment out there' ⚡️ In Episode 8 of Now We Build by Forward Pursuit, I sat down with my friend and superstar, Dhiraj Mukherjee, the former co-founder of Shazam. In the episode we covered: 👉🏽 The founding story of Shazam and the teams view on building product. 👉🏽 How the team hacked hyper-growth to establish themselves as the market leading product. 👉🏽 How the team tested numerous business models to create the best alignment with value for users. The episode is now live and you’ll find the links in the comments below 👇🏽 Proudly supported by Carta, Google Cloud, Fuelled and Seven Legal. #founders #vc #business #startup

😎 ☀ ⛱ 🎧 As we all disappear off on summer holidays (seems that way at least). Does anyone have any must read / listen to tips for us? At Seven Legal - we've been loving the latest Pitch Deck series from Forward Pursuit and Nick Telson-Sillett. Interesting, informative and perfect for to get into for holiday season! All recommendations welcome! #founders #vc #investors #fundraising #tech #entrepreneurs
Founder DesignMyNight (Acquired '19) 🍹 | Co-Founder trumpet 🎺 | Investor in 55+ Startups (Currently not investing in new deals) 😇 | Podcaster 🎙️| 🏳️🌈
The next episode of Pitch Deck by Forward Pursuit was super interesting. I was joined by David Pakman, co-founder of Apple Music and now Crypto investor at CoinFund... I had to stop myself talking about Apple and that journey but we also covered: ✅ Apple's ability to attract top talent and its focus on user experience were key factors in its success. ✅ Spotify has revolutionized the music industry by pioneering the streaming model and offering personalized experiences. ✅ Where does crypto go from here? ✅ Specialist VCs in the crypto space have an advantage over generalist funds due to their deep domain knowledge. ✅ A compelling pitch deck should highlight the team's expertise, market understanding, and the unique qualities of the product. For the full episode check out the comments below 👇 (Ps. no idea why I'm imitating the lucky Chinese waving/nodding cat in this video 😺)

Happy Friday everyone! Here’s a little light read for you to enjoy whilst basking in the sun this weekend… (Especially if you’re a founder who’s unsure when and where to get the right legal advice...Saman Harris our Head of Fractional GC may have the answer)!
Do these statements resonate? ----------------- 😩 "Lawyers don't 'get-it'"; ☠ "Legal always just says 'no'"; 🐌 "Legal slow the process down"; 🤑 "Lawyers are too expensive" ----------------- These are some of many reasons why founders and CxOs don't engage lawyers until too late or when something has already gone wrong. I've also fielded many questions such as: "When should we hire a lawyer"; "What's a Fractional GC" and "What's a GC". So to provide some answers and in an attempt at some myth-busting, I've written about our Fractional GC service at Seven Legal and how having the RIGHT type of legal support can be transformative for your business. Have a read and let me know what you think in the comments! #legalsupport #lawyer #fractionalgc #startups #scaleups #vc #tech #law #legalservices 📷: Chat-GPT image 'featuring a modern, casual tech startup setting inspired by the street art style of Opake One, with an abstract graffiti artwork in the background.
