Team8 Partner, Galia Beer-Gabel, recently moderated the 'Nuts and Bolts of Building a Business' panel during London Tech Week. She was joined on stage by Tom Bohills, Founder at Founders Law, Gerard Grech, Managing Director at Founders at the University of Cambridge, and Chris Woodward-Jones, Co-Founder at VIZZY.

More from mistakes and less from successes. Earlier this month, I had the chance to attend the #techspark event, where I met some amazing people—new founders, startups in their ideation stage, and students dreaming of launching their own ventures one day. What really struck me in these conversations was how open they were about their mistakes. They didn’t just focus on the wins—they shared the tough moments too. Listening to their stories, I realized how small missteps can throw off the bigger picture. For instance, something as simple as not securing your personal finances early on while waiting for business returns can lead to bigger issues down the road. We can’t avoid failure entirely, but we can definitely prepare ourselves better to manage it when it comes. #techevent #events #networking
