Last month I went to #FundLaunchLive in Orlando FL. Great event Bridger Pennington! One of the speakers was Benjamin Hardy, PhD, author of the book "10X Is Easier Than 2x" It's been a great read so far. The big idea for me so far is to set a target so big that you could not possibly hit it. Essentially, start with the target in mind, Then totally restructure and change the way you're doing things today to align with how you need to be doing things in order to hit that target. 🎯 If your team set a goal to increase and hit $10M in revenue this year, instead of trying to figure out how to hit $10M, What do you need to change up and be doing in order to hit $20M? What customers are you going after? What tech do you need to utilize? How many team members does that require? What is getting in the way? What do you need to be doing less of? Think bigger and then figure out how to go after that bigger target.

Despite the fact that startup founders are often in the spotlight pitching, networking, and selling their vision, I found it can also be one of the loneliest positions in the working world. - Mark "Z" Zmarzly 🦄 Mark is helping solve this by bringing founders together to share and support each other while going through one of the most exhausting tasks for founders > raising.

Katherine Butler-Dines: Meet the LK Tech Team: Katherine * Name: Katherine Butler-Dines * Role: VP of Revenue * When did you join? 2023 * What are your favorite parts of the job? Finding new ways to serve our customers. I love working with both existing customers and potential ones to identify their needs and ensure that LK Tech can deploy proactive solutions for them. I love our team and our dedication to partnering with customers to help them grow their businesses. I believe IT doesn’t just have to be a cost center. It can be a value driver for SMBs. Our team at LK Tech is excellent at aligning IT services with a company's larger strategy, helping them grow more efficiently. * What's your favorite thing to do in the Cincinnati region? The Cincinnati Zoo is special. I’ve always loved hippos so getting to see Fiona and Fritz grow up is fun. * How do you spend your time outside of LK Tech? I love to cook, and this month, I’ve gotten into different ways to use Butternut Squash, including in perogies, gnocchi, salads, and whipped up as an alternative to mashed potatoes. #TeamMembers

If you’re at IBS, you have to hurry to catch this panel discussion hosted by Houzz!

How do you turn a happy hour into a launchpad for the next big thing? Our recent Finding Funding Happy Hour events asked just that. We brought together a highly curated, intimate group of founders, superconnectors, and investors for an evening of meaningful connections and insights on community-driven capital raising. Dallas saw my business partner Devin Ambron team up with Pete Stubbs from DealMaker, while I hosted the Austin event alongside Pete. Here's what made these events special... 👥 Carefully curated attendee list (no service providers) 🍹 Open happy hour for relaxed networking 🧊 Icebreakers to kickstart conversations (not forced & where needed) 💡 Discussions on leveraging community for fundraising A huge thank you to the DealMaker team for sponsoring these events and to all the brilliant minds who joined us. These evenings aren't just about networking - they're about building a community of innovators who support and elevate each other. If you're a founder, investor, or connector looking to expand your network and knowledge, send me a DM or comment "FINDING FUNDING" and I'll put you on the list for our next gathering ✌️

Saying yes to everything (well nearly everything) certainly brings you some inspiring connections. So… when Jo got in touch to talk all things creative and a gentle bribe of coffee and cake it was a no-brainer to say “Yes” to this. Personally, I’m at a bit of a pivot point considering whether to reposition www.rednine.co.uk as a Charity Brand Specialist – which realistically is what I live and breathe day in day out – partnering with charities to make their brands beautiful again. And to shake off the Agency persona to step forward as a “curious creative with an empathetic approach to visual storytelling”. Meeting Jo and chatting through my Founder’s story certainly helped me to appreciate what came before whilst reigniting the possibilities of what comes next – so thank you. The plane analogy will make more sense (when/if you read the story)… but let’s just say I landed, I am down, with no clear runway and no airport or infrastructure, but I have the new and exciting and daunting and curiously creative challenge of building from here. Get in touch if you fancy swapping stories and joining the conversation. Be More. Mind Less.
