David Cummings recently shared that when it comes to entrepreneurship, he encourages startups to value processes more than goals. While goals are important, a process that is within your control is vital. Here are two ways startups can approach this: 1️⃣ Top-Down Approach: Start with a goal, then work backward to develop a process to achieve it. 2️⃣ Bottom-Up Approach: Begin with a feasible process, then set goals based on its outcomes. 👉 Learn more! https://bit.ly/4cPHWBM

Big thanks to our summer interns, Kyle and Patrick! Patrick, a senior at Emory studying Finance, and Kyle, a CSU Long Beach grad with an MBA in Marketing, made a big impact on our team. They helped our portfolio companies, worked on projects with our studio entrepreneurs, and supported our marketing efforts. We're grateful for all their hard work!

Great actionable tips for all, but especially for founders, from Kathryn O'Day! #kod #kathrynoday #win #founders Atlanta Ventures Atlanta Tech Village
What I’ve learned from being “at the table” with top CEOs, founders, investors, and executives. Seemingly small habits can make a huge difference in how you feel, perform, are treated by others, and long-term success. I recommend these to folks early in their career, anyone “breaking into” the business world, or someone wanting to uplevel or be taken more seriously. *Cough cough* Many of these things did not come naturally to me…but I realized they were important and learned by practicing. 💡Talk about money! When you talk about money, you get information and show you are a business person. When I’m with experienced business people, the conversation naturally turns to revenue, margin, salaries, financial decisions, contract terms, and more. 💡Use your title. Try this: “I’m <FirstName, LastName>, founder and CEO of <CompanyName>.” It sounds cringey when you say it the first few times aloud. But when you hear someone else do it with casual, matter-of-fact-ness, it sounds normal. After practice, it will become second nature. It's a great conversation starter + provides immediate context when you meet someone. 💡Interject and add. Highly successful people don’t wait to be called on. Yes, they are good listeners and socially appropriate. But also, they share their perspective and contribute to the discussion. Don’t be afraid to interrupt, especially if someone is monopolizing the conversation. Remember, if you wait patiently for your turn, it might never come. 👇👇 I wrote three more habits in the blog post linked below! More tangible tips, success stories, and real-life examples. —— What habits have worked for you? Have you noticed anything particularly effective? Who is a successful business leader you look up to and why?

Kathryn O'Day recently shared some advice with startup founders: Never aim for 100% While it might seem like perfection is key, striving for it can actually slow down progress within your startup! Instead, get your project, product, or plan to 90-95% complete and then move forward. 👉 Read the full blog here: https://bit.ly/4cM4XFI
