One of my favorite parts of my job is traveling the state and getting to connect with tech CEOs and entrepreneurs and talk to them about their wins, losses, needs, goals, etc... One of the questions I hear most is, "What are all the funding opportunities in SC for scaling tech companies - how do I find them and connect?" 📣That question led us to the creation of CAP Carolina (3-Part Webinar Series): Unlocking Funding & Capital Resources for tech firms in South Carolina! 🔈More details are coming soon, but if you'd like to spotlight your funding resource, please message me!

Imagine a company that wants to improve its online presence. They look for a tech company to help them. But sometimes, they don't know what they need. They end up picking the wrong tech company. They talk to many tech companies. They get confused by all the technical words and fancy presentations. They choose a tech company quickly without really understanding if they're a good fit. At first, things seem okay. But soon, they realize they made a mistake. The tech company doesn't understand what the company wants. They can't do what the company needs. In the end, it costs a lot of money and time. But there's a lesson here. We can learn from mistakes. We should be clear about what we want. And we should be careful when picking a tech partner. Let's learn from this story. Let's be clear about our goals. And let's pick tech partners wisely. Together, we can find the right tech partner and succeed! 🚀 #TechPartnerships #ClearGoals #SuccessStories

Jack-of-All-Trades vs. Narrow Specialists 💡 After scaling tech teams through countless projects, here’s my verdict on this classic debate: ✨ Jack-of-All-Trades (or Generalists) are your Swiss Army knives. They can code, manage, troubleshoot, and probably debug that stubborn server issue when no one else can. They’re perfect for early-stage startups or fast-paced projects where you need versatility over depth. But there's a catch: they may not have the deep expertise needed for more complex challenges. 🎯 Narrow Specialists are the snipers of your team — focused, precise, and total pros in their specific area. They're the go-to for complex problems that require deep focus. But they can struggle when you need someone to juggle multiple tasks. 👉 Pro Tip? A winning tech team needs both. Generalists bring agility, narrow specialists bring depth — so blend them like your morning smoothie🥤 What’s your preference? #HiringTips #TechRecruiting #TechTalent #BalancedTeams
