𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬… 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Celebrating your startup’s progress is crucial, but so is understanding its true value. Accurate valuation helps you appreciate your successes and build on them effectively. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: Celebrate Your Milestones, But Stay Informed: It’s fantastic to celebrate every win, whether it’s acquiring a new client or hitting a revenue target. But alongside the celebrations, make sure you’re keeping a close eye on your business’s valuation. Knowing where you stand financially keeps your feet on the ground and your eyes on the prize. Use Valuation to Drive Future Growth: An accurate valuation isn’t just about numbers; it’s a tool to plan your next moves. Understanding your startup’s worth helps you make informed decisions about investments, expansions, and strategic changes. It’s about building a roadmap for sustainable growth. Maintain a Balanced Perspective on Success and Challenges: While it’s important to recognise your achievements, it’s equally important to understand the challenges ahead. A balanced view of your valuation allows you to identify strengths to leverage and weaknesses to address, ensuring you’re prepared for whatever comes next. 📊 Real Talk for Startup Founders: Think of your startup journey like climbing a mountain. Celebrating each milestone is like enjoying the view at each rest stop. But to reach the summit, you need to know your elevation and the path ahead. Counting your blessings is essential, but so is counting your valuation. At Outcomes Business Group UK and bizval, we’ve seen how startups can thrive by balancing gratitude with a clear understanding of their value. It’s not just about celebrating; it’s about strategic appreciation. Count your blessings… and your valuation. This balanced approach can guide you towards consistent growth and long-term success. #StartupValuation #KnowYourWorth #BusinessGrowth #StrategicPlanning #ValueYourBusiness #BusinessCoach #SMBSuccess

Think Long-Term: The Value of Sustainable Growth in Early-Stage Startups In the rush to scale, it’s easy to lose sight of stability. But sustainable growth is what builds resilient businesses. Here’s why pacing matters: • Cash Flow Protection Aggressive growth eats up cash fast. Sustainable growth keeps finances steady, ensuring you’re prepared for any curveballs. • Stronger Foundations Expanding too quickly can lead to cracks in operations. Growing mindfully allows you to refine processes as you scale. • Team Burnout Prevention Rapid scaling often pushes teams too hard. A steady pace keeps morale high and reduces turnover. • Market Fit Validation Take the time to know your customers. Sustainable growth lets you adapt and improve, building loyalty along the way. Remember: fast doesn’t always mean strong. Growth that lasts is growth that’s paced. #StartupSuccess #SustainableGrowth #BusinessStrategy #LongTermThinking #StartupTips #GrowthMindset #BuildToLast

Our Accelerator Learning Chair, Kate Morgan, grew her business to $2M within a few years! But that’s not the part she’s most proud of. Kate i͟s͟ all of the magic that happens behind the scenes at Accelerator. From preparing learning days, recruitment events, EOA socials, and so much more, Kate is genuinely the backbone of our organization. And that should come as no surprise when you hear her story: During the recession, Kate was a contractor helping startups with talent acquisition. Even in a down economy, her work was in such high demand that she quickly became over-subscribed. Traditional recruiting models, in her opinion, wasn’t right. ↳ 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦… abrading with Kate’s core belief that a company’s greatest asset is its people and not something to be bartered for. So in 2011, she decided to change the narrative and launched her own business, Boston Human Capital Partners, Inc. She’s been able to recruit employees that were a bit misguided on their career paths, and have now gone on to do great things within the TA space. As the EOA Chair, Kate has stepped into the role at a time when the market feels just as unpredictable as when she started. Her goal is to guide Accelerator members through these challenges and ensure they feel supported on their entrepreneurial journeys. Kate’s story is a reminder that success is more than numbers— Success is about the impact you make on the people around you. #EOAccelerator #Entrepreneurship #Founder — P.S. She releases her book soon… stay tuned 👀
