Embracing Discomfort & Chaos is the KEY to Disruptive Progress. This is a classic case of entrepreneurs ability to achieve cognitive dissonance... holding two opposing ideas & finding a solution through them

Scaling Through Chaos (the recent book from Index Ventures) is a truly excellent guide to every issue you will encounter building a company that matters. It’s a no-b.s. pragmatic guide to pretty much every issue you will face. I say that having experienced many of them myself and having seen my coaching clients experience them, too. Highly recommended for founders/CEOs and anyone who works with them (so you’ll understand why they might seem crazy at times!) https://lnkd.in/evp5VJrZ

Cracking expansion in big organisations Time and time again, I see high potential teams with big plans putting themselves through unnecessary pain, costs and delays expanding for the first time or not having the right support available when you need it. Biggest pain points: - failing to align with leadership/investors/board on the expansion goals and kpis and deep commitment to time/cost/challenges involved in meeting those goals - getting the corporate structure wrong and being stuck with a structure that doesn’t provide the flexibility they need to run this business (without opening themselves up to compliance audits and operational churn) triggering huge costs and delays - not anticipating roadblocks (licensing, adaptations to the business model to balance business need with local customer/ legal / tax / localisation needs) and burning hard won trust with leadership or investors along the way - insufficient mitigation plans in place if roadblocks emerge - inadequate plans to build for scale and planning for the complexity of cross border operations - not having by the domain expertise to build and foster strong relationships with approver teams: especially legal, tax and accounting - bringing together strategy, ops, legal, tax, tech, and product into a seamless efficient GTM plan that optimises for unblocking core milestones as quickly as possible, balancing speed / risk / opportunity effectively - failing to manage cross functional expectations and support Venture Bench was founded to solve these challenges head on with deep expansion and domain expertise across the board on flexible customisable solutions and playbooks to help you meet any challenge. If you’re a team embarking on expansion, and you’re looking for a cost effective path to successful expansion that avoids these pitfalls, I’m here to help. PM me for a chat.

What's a Scale-up? It's a fairly new term for an early stage company, that's beyond a Start-up but not fully formed as a mature steady business. It's most likely growing rapidly, perhaps in a promising new technology and one that promises great returns to investors, shareholders and employees, fun to be a part of ..... but often a bit of a rollercoaster ride - exciting but frightening! Success and failure depend on the founder team working well together and being able to build a body of people who are needed to manage the growing business. A huge challenge scale-ups face is getting top calibre people to work with the founder team. It can be time consuming and expensive to get recruitment agencies and head hunters to search and the exec team will almost certainly be too busy to take a systematic reliable approach to search. Recruiters often employ junior inexperienced associates who are unable to communicate at a mature level with identified candidates. Our work with European scale-ups finding people to fill the role of CFO's, Customer Lead Managers and Senior Tech Managers has shown us there's a better way to do this that begins with a real understanding of your technology, your business culture and the needs of the role. Do give us a call if you'd like to know more. #techrecruitment #innovation #peoplesearch

Our goal is to grow companies faster than any other method on the planet (our 24/7 obsession) - here is the latest on what we released yesterday to do that even better for $1 million to $300 million CEOs. If you don’t know us yet - we are building the worlds largest executive/investor network collateralized on the defensibility of top tier company growth methods that are mathematically and experientially backed to be unbeatable. Yesterday’s release was a written form of what we already do in consultation, excel and code. The written form has massive implications for scaling understanding and execution through simplifying the complexity that is business in the most nuanced high level way possible (an extremely artful balance). We hope you enjoy. P.S. We are hiring consultants/mentors (what can you even call us this process is so hybrid and nuanced) to scale this "much more effortless speed growth process" ultimately to tens of thousands of CEO's globally. DM me if you feel aligned. We also actively train venture studios, VCs and investors. My job is to grow the brand and the consultant army so that we can handle virtually unlimited companies without loss of quality or speed. We're also growing the partner vendors that we pull in...top marketing/dev agencies/talent to support the companies in our network with execution. And then we apply investment (from our global investor network) to the ones that are on the investment track AND have gone through our growth process to prove they will be capital efficient with the capital. Personal and company growth is the absolute core of it all. No fluff...a person must experience real growth which takes effort. Deep company science, deep people science and calculated decision making is our DNA - it can be yours too. $1M, $5M, $20M, $50M, $100M doesn't have to be hard. It's just new for most people. You got this! We have a big product announcement coming soon but that's for another day :-)
