Hey, dear network Tomorrow I will share my growth path and all the emotions that were part of my journey, and what a journey!!! "Embracing change, a key point for growth" Can we grow without change? On this talk I will shortly describe what was my growth path. In the way, I will show how crucial it is being open to change in order to grow, while accepting the emotions change brings, like fear, insecurity or anxiety. We will then conclude - together, I hope! - the definition of success. See you there? #CriticalTechWorks #Growth #Change #GeekGirls

Wild to see New York Tech Week be such a thing still 2 years later. When we started it at Capital, I had to fight, scratch, claw, and (sometimes) beg people and companies to host events. Didn't look like that publicly because we drove a ton of hype and momentum to it. Eventually, the hype becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. But the 0 to 1 to keep that hype going required a ton of effort. Now the whole thing has a momentum of it's own. For example, two companies that told me no to hosting events just invited me to their tech week events for this year. The lesson - drive enough momentum and eventually something becomes the default. Inevitable. Inevitability can be engineered.

seeing a lot of bad takes that founders aren't serious if they attend conferences like Tech Week. yes, aimlessly attending tons of events is stupid and suggests your priorities aren't in the right place. but not taking advantage of thousands of potential investors, hires and customers flooding into a city looking to network is also stupid. I attended 2 events for Tech Week: - 1 where I caught up with my most important investors and founder friends from out of town. - 1 we hosted where we collected 800+ warm leads and demo'd our product to hundreds of people. it was also a very meaningful milestone and bonding moment for my team it was so successful that we're already planning on another event (and perhaps even launching publicly) at the next Tech Week. humans love to reject things that others view as high status as a means of asserting their own status (look up sprezzatura). say you find Balenciaga distasteful and suddenly you're a taste maker. attending exclusive conference events with top investors and founders is high status, so saying it's cringe suggests you're even higher status, even more important. my recommendation is for founders to ignore what people think and focus on doing whatever will make your company successful. sometimes that's slapping a name tag on and showing up at a "cringe" conference event. other times that's declining an invitation so you can get some coding done.

Great first day on our Open FAIR 2 Foundation Course with a couple of TechVets members. We've had some good discussion about how to put a numerical value on risk likelihood and impact, using the quantitative #FAIR methodology. The Open Group #quantitative #riskmanagement

Week 3 Chronicles at Techstars Berlin 2023! And just like that, Week 3 at Techstars Berlin 2023 has come to a close! This week was all about execution – putting into practice the myriad of insights and feedback from last week's Mentor Madness. The journey from ideation to implementation was both exhilarating and demanding. As Ana Gerlich and I delved deeper into execution, we realised that many of the contradictory pieces of advice from week 2 actually had their time and place. It's like piecing together a puzzle where each mentor's perspective found its rightful spot in our larger strategy. This week helped us validate some of our pre-existing assumptions. It underscored the importance of continually testing and validating hypotheses in the real world. The saga of Mentor Madness goes on! With another week ahead, we're prepped to dive deep, question assumptions, and gather wisdom from industry veterans! 🔬 🔭
