Generally speaking, investors will invest in a product, and invest for growth - but not invest to figure out how to grow. If you're about to finish building your product and are looking to raise capital for growth, you're probably not in as good of a spot as you think. #startups #founders #entrepreneurship Mark Russell Filaroski 🤳 Faith, Family and Fairways Josh Stanley Kai Brunner

The product you get investment for is rarely the same - or often - even similar when you exit. Founders generally think the question is: "Is this a great idea?" The best investors think: "Does the space this idea plays in have room for substantial growth and innovation and is this a good starting point?" #startups #founders #entrepreneurship

The reality is harsh: Most companies raising capital today will fail at some stage, be it Pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A. Steve Torso estimates that 9 out of 10 startups won’t make it. 📉 As founders, you must believe passionately in what we’re building, but smart investors understand the hard truths behind the numbers. 🔢 #StartupLife #InvestorMindset #Entrepreneurship #RaisingCapital #FoundersJourney

"How do you juggle all this?" I get this question a lot, especially when people learn about my investment in 7 companies around the world through Lobster Venture. The answer is surprisingly simple: I barely do anything. My approach is straightforward. I trust the founders with their vision, provide guidance, and invest in their dreams. That's it. Once that’s done, I leave the rest to them. It’s their passion and expertise that drive the success, not my constant involvement. Empowering great founders and letting them shine—that’s the key to juggling it all. #Leadership #Trust #Investment #Entrepreneurship #Startups

This is a great post from Roei Samuel. Experienced investors like Richard Harpin back founders who can lead. Their chances of success are much higher than founders who can’t. He sets out what he’s looking for and what predicts success- and it’s a great list. At the core of it is humility and a growth mindset, mixed in with the resilience to overcome the many challenges that they will face. If you want to understand how to work on these qualities then check out my recently published book Founder’s Legacy - Fifty Game-Changing Leadership Lessons for Building a Great Business. (https://lnkd.in/eieuEwsQ) I have helped many founders to develop these qualities - and captured that experience in the book. If you want to change something, the first thing you have to do is work on yourself. #founder #leader #leadership #entrepreneurship #founderslegacy
