Just listened to the latest #SaaStr episode discussing Seed Rounds and the current startup landscape. Moral of the story: there is more available capital than ever before, leading to intense competition. Key differentiators among competitors include hyper-agile teams, hyper-transparent leadership, and strong engineering/product talent. For those in my network in the startup/early-mid growth stages, how are you prioritizing/encouraging agility & transparency? What's working or not working? #startup #agileteams #agility #transparency

Planning a GTM can feel like juggling 10 things at once, but are we focusing on what really moves the needle? In the latest 🌟 "Data to Dollars by Revenue Experts" session, I want to give a big shoutout to Janene Niblock, Michael Eckhoff, and Eric Rodriguez for sharing some real, practical insights. Here’s what stood out: ✔Cash runway matters: It’s not just about getting leads—can your sales funnel generate revenue fast enough to extend your runway? ✔Keep it simple: Too many metrics can just clutter things. Focus on the ones that really drive decisions. ✔ Lead qualification: The market’s always shifting. Are your criteria evolving with it?The conversation was packed with valuable takeaways for startups. Cant wait to share the video soon! And to all the fractional leaders—if there is another topic you would like us to dive into next, let me know! #Aryng #GTM #StartupGrowth #DataDriven #DatatoDollars #Startups

The journey from Tech to VC is the topic of my next episode from the "Exponential Customer Success" series. This interview I especially enjoyed because I got to find out more about someone near and dear to my heart, my brother, Abhishek Lahoti ... Isn't it true that in families you often don't talk about work... not deep diving anyways, but that's exactly what we did this time. Learning about his Head of Platform role, how Customer Success is viewed in a VC's eyes, and how VC has changed in the past few years are a few of our topics! Link in comments to the episode...

The next episode of our Exponential Customer Success webinar series is live with Abhishek Lahoti, Head of Platform at Highland Europe. Dive into this enlightening conversation as Abhishek shares his journey from Silicon Valley to London, from working in Tech to working in VC, and how he supports the portfolio at Highland Europe. If you are globally-inclined, an EU-heritage founder, and or just curious about Head of Platform roles - this episode is for you. Link to the full episode is on our Youtube channel and in the comments. #customersuccess #venturecapital #funding #startups

Yesterday, I had the incredible opportunity to lead a storytelling workshop with a group of passionate ed-tech founders from SuperCharger Ventures 🚀 We dove deep into the art of storytelling, exploring how it’s not just about selling a product or service — it’s about connecting with people by sharing the stories that fuel the fire 🔥 💡 Why does storytelling matter? People don’t just buy products or services; they buy into the stories behind them. Every startup has a unique narrative — whether it's your personal journey, a customer’s transformation, or your mission to make a difference. The real magic happens when you tell that story in a way that resonates. Thank you to SuperCharger Ventures for having me, and to everyone who eagerly participated to make this session absolutely electric! ⚡️ SuperCharger Ventures Iusef Abdel Hafith Alexander Aabol Indhuja P Vijayan Stefania Ditrani Seychell Hrair Shahbazyan Abdelrahman Moez Okan Taş Gabriela Tussolini Mariano Sydney Rubio Mikko Perälä #Storytelling #Startups #Edtech #Leadership #Founders #GrowthMindset
