Are you in the early stages of creating an innovative new mobile app, web app, SaaS platform, or any other tech product? I HELP FOUNDERS LIKE YOU, ACCELERATE THE JOURNEY FROM IDEA TO SUCCESSFUL RELEASE AND BEYOND. So, why would you seek help? When you’re creating a tech product startup, there are many unique challenges that can derail the whole venture, even before it gets off the ground. The fact is… 91% of all first-time tech founders fail. Here's the good news… These mistakes are easily avoided and you can 10X your chance of success if you have a proven ‘roadmap’ to guide you. My goal is to help you defy the odds and become one of the star founders who turn their startup dream into reality. Let me share a little of my experience. Over the past four decades, I've been in business. From working in the family company to founding or co-founding over 8 successful startups… Conventional and tech based. In 2012, I co-founded Buzinga Apps, a small app development company based in Melbourne. We grew Buzinga to one of the fastest-growing development agencies in Australia, until late 2017 when we sold. During this period, sadly I witnessed numerous clients fail to achieve commercial success… Many, for reasons I thought were totally avoidable (in retrospect). This sparked my obsession with success systems for tech startups. I delved deep into design thinking, lean methodology, lean startup, and exponential growth strategy, among others. And had the opportunity to hang out with a bunch of successful founders, gaining their insights about what it takes. There are several fundamental steps at each stage of tech business growth that must be completed to have any chance at commercial success. In the past five years I have coached five tech startups to successful outcomes and impacted more than 120 with advice, guides and training. If you're a first-time tech founder and could use some help... simply follow me here on LinkedIn. AND, subscribe to my '10X Founders Edge' newsletter. Head to my website for more information and resources: kuboom.com.au -------- In 2024, I’ve taken on a new challenge. I’ve joined the passionate team at Stone and Chalk’s Melbourne Hub as ‘Startup Success and Community Manager’. Stone and Chalk are the largest innovation community in Australia. If you're the founder of an Emerging Tech Startup and are experiencing some initial traction, be sure to reach out to me… Let’s explore how we can help you accelerate success and connect you with mentors, customers, investors and other founders in our community.

Startups - Huge OPPORTUNITY... Don't miss out! Register for the info session now.

I've noticed something about startup programs that's been bugging me: Learning about key topics is great, but actually getting stuff done is what moves startups forward. A "topic of the week" structure from different presenters often means founders walk away with pages of notes and little progress towards real outcomes that impress customers and investors. It's not that founders need more information – they need help turning what they already know into actual results and traction. Because let's be honest – your next customer or investor won't ask what programs you've sat through, they'll ask what you've achieved. Stuart Wan and I are helping scaleups hit goals with fractional co-founder services at Stack Team Ventures - and I'm thrilled to be announcing Stack Team Venture Lab today as a way to support earlier stage startups with validated problems and demonstrated potential. We're not ditching education, but we're definitely tipping the scales toward making real progress over just completing a curriculum. Our first Cohort will be Melbourne based - and hosted by Graham McCorkill and the team at Stone & Chalk Melbourne which we're beyond excited about. Successful startups will get: 🚀 $20K no-strings-attached package ($15K in hands-on help + $5K for validation activities) 🚀 Tailored strategy sessions focused on YOUR specific goals 🚀 Weekly in-person working sessions to keep the momentum going 🚀 Practical support from mentors with genuine experience in building and scaling products 🚀 At least one goofy analogy from me per session. If you're a Melbourne founder with a validated problem and some form of prototype or MVP who's ready to focus on results rather than collecting more startup theory, come join our info session on March 19th (link in comments) Super excited to bring something different to the startup "program" ecosystem! #StartupResults #ProductStrategy #VentureLab #MelbourneStartups
Huge opportunity to fast-track early-stage startup growth!

😥 Struggling to turn leads and sales into a repeatable system? 😰 You’re not alone. A lot of startups and scaleups land a few customers, celebrate the win—then realise they have no clue how to scale beyond that. Without a clear, repeatable sales and marketing strategy, you’re just throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks. That’s not a business. That’s a guessing game. This workshop is for founders & teams who are done winging it and ready to 😎 Nail your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) 🤝 Design a strong sales foundation 🛫 Map your Customer's Marketing Journey If you’re serious about turning your startup into a real, revenue-generating machine, this is where you start. 📅 Date: 12th & 13th March 📍 Location: Stone & Chalk (Melbourne) 🎟️ $199 for non S&C residents | FREE for S&C residents ⏳ Spots are limited. 🔗 Secure yours now by contacting Graham McCorkill Stop guessing. Start growing. 🚀 Eike Zeller Melissa Despotellis Fernanda Alves - Thinking of onboarding a Fractional CMO/CRO? Let's chat
