Vega Gibraltar’s Post

Thrilled, honoured, and immensely grateful to share that Vega Gibraltar has been nominated for Gibraltar Startup of the Year!   I would really appreciate it if you would give us a vote (it only takes a couple of minutes): https://lnkd.in/er8YGRVp A brief note on how we got here: Six months ago, I found myself in a place I didn’t expect. I was burned out and out of work, and honestly, I didn’t know what my next move would be. After taking a step back, and spending time traveling to recharge, I started thinking about what was next, feeling both excitement and uncertainty.   At that moment, Carl Hallam reached out, asking if I’d help with his start-up while his co-founder, Steven Taylor, was out of the office. Those few days reignited something in me. I felt the energy of building something new, of being part of a vision. Then Carl and Steven did something I hadn’t anticipated... they offered me a chance to join them as a director and co-owner.   Despite my excitement, the decision wasn’t easy, especially with no stable salary on the table and a house to support. But with my wife Maja Lemezovic Smith’s support and encouragement, I decided to take the leap. Looking back, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The last few months have been a journey of resilience, reinvention, and finding purpose in what we do for our clients.   Receiving this nomination feels like a celebration of that journey. Not just for me, but for everyone who took a chance on us and believed in our vision. This recognition is a reminder that every challenge has been worth it. Here’s to the journey ahead! #startup #gibraltar #startupgrind

“The essence of an entrepreneurial ecosystem is its people and the culture of trust and collaboration that allows them to interact successfully. An ecosystem that allows for the fast flow of talent, information, and resources helps entrepreneurs quickly find what they need at each stage of growth. As a result, the whole is greater than the sum of its separate parts.” - ESHIP Playbook 🚀 Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Amplify Startups #startuplou #startupetown
