Best founders Linkedin Posts

Does anyone have any experiences to share where #founders encourage/have encouraged side hustles? In the west, it's common for people to have a #passionproject but based on my experience, it's frowned upon in India. I want to be proven wrong. Let me clarify. You are pursuing something on your own outside work hours while working full-time for a company. I want to talk to such founders/leaders & maybe invite them on Sales Spin in the future.

Don't take yourself too seriously and don't be afraid to fail as a startup founder.

some of my network founders are just doing exceedingly well and here is something for them and you guys- Ayush and his team at Skillvalley are organising a 6 week cohort which is absolutely free of cost. Software Engineers from Google and swiggy are the mentors guiding the young group of coders. ( including me 😌 ) Yugansh building Growthic and delivering best possible results. I remember my first interaction with him in club house room where he said desh ki economy badhao yaar mehnat karo. Parth Started with a growth podcast then launched #linkedin his LinkedIn ebook and then went on to building #TST which in a short span has touched 7 figures revenue and providing some amazing tech solutions. when it comes to looking up to an entrepreneur I always look upto Jaison and here is an exciting news, these guys have just onboarded Dunkin'​ 🤯 and their recent blog on Pinterest is at the top, even from pinterest itself. #PDsays

Looking for a co-founder(s)? Ensure your DASH matches 😊 ⇒ Discipline, Attitude, Skill and Humility. ===== Prashant Pansare says: DASHING Discipline, Attitude Skill and Humility, Integrity, Needs (from startup), Goals === It is DASHING! :-)

👁 The founder mindset: you see things as they are *and* as they ought to be without your brain exploding. #startups

As a startup founder, what comes to mind when hearing about ESOP? First thought: "Yeah, of course! Let's do this. All startups do it. It's the future of employee compensation!" 💸 Second thought: "Oh no, what did I get myself into? Why is it so complicated? No way I can explain how it works to my team, what will they think about me? Why am I paying this lawyer $1000/hour?" 🤯 Meet Easop, who are helping teams make employee equity schemes a reality for remote workers. Easop is not yet another cap table management tool. They integrate with them to focus on the living part: ESOP creation and management. With a twist: they cater to global remote teams only to save them from the headaches of understanding complex international legal & tax provisions (trust me, you don't want to get into it). Or maybe you want to get into it? Then you're lucky because Easop is hiring their very first Product/Legal Manager. You'll join a core team of 5 (7 this summer) fun and enthusiastic people, led by founders Valentin Haarscher and Naël El Berkani. They've just raised a pre-seed round from top VCs based in the US and France, so it's the best moment to join. Link to apply in the description 👇 And if I can help make you an intro, let me know 👋

When I co-founded my first company at 23, I did not even know what a pitch deck was, let alone how to craft one! 10 years, 5 startups, and 3 exits later, I am honored and super excited, to be able to help other first-time founders figure out the best way to pitch. On Friday, as a guest of Jack and Dan, co-founders of Hoodle,I got to meet brilliant first-time founders, listen to them pitch, and give them tangible feedback on how to present their product to VCs. The takeaways are as follows: 1) Numbers are everything: Its great to talk about your dream, but numbers give VCs a good grasp of your growth so far, and the size of the market you 're going after. 2) Your story: If you 're going to embark on the crazy journey called a startup, tell people why. What inspired you? Why you? Why now? 3) Your team: Talk about your founding team and the unique strengths and skills you each bring to the table. 4) CLEARLY EXPLAIN YOUR PRODUCT: I may love your story, but to fund you or at least stay engaged, I need to understand what you do. What problem you solve, how, how do you stand out from everyone else in the market (this is a big one, guys & gals) 5) Be excited: If you 're not excited when you 're pitching your idea, how can others be? By far the most compelling pitches were from people that couldn't wait to tell us how "cool" their products were. I really hope this helps! I know it would have definitely helped me when I started. Practice your pitch,(it really does make perfect) and do not be afraid to ask for help. #pitching #pitchdeck #startups #founders #entrepreneurship #community #ycombinator #thestartupgirl

When interviewing ask yourself this: If I don't have context, how do I really know? The answer is you don't. Founders and Sales Leaders, please make sure you understand: 📍 What the right work is to do the job well. 📍 How you'd actually do this together. 📍 Are you aligned? 📍 Are you comfortable communicating the uncomfortable things? 📍 Have you dug deep below the surface to understand what's there? Without this, you're flying blind. And increasing the odds of getting it wrong. Seek to understand. Not assume. You'll thank me later. ✌🏻❤️

Founder Reverse Vesting (i.e. vesting applied to founder equity) is a founder friendly clause. If your co-founder leaves you to build the company solo, they should leave the unvested portion of the equity on the table, period. 25% upfront, rest over 4 years is fair at seed IMO.
