About - Build Successful Startups

Passion and drive are not the problem!

The main problem first time founders and early startups face is:

Knowledge.

As much as you want to do something, if you don’t know how to do it, then you’re stuck.

When I started out, I found it difficult to get “actionable guidance” and as a result, I made a tonne of avoidable mistakes.

That’s what this educational platform is about. A refusal to spend 2+ years making the same mistakes that others already have.

Here are the rules we live by:

Read, learn and get knowledge. Every. Single. Day
Understand that relying exclusively on external funding is not sustainable
Do not take constructive feedback personally because we know it leads to growth
Time is more precious than money
Focus. Entirely. On. Customers
Obsessed with knowing buying cycles, distribution channels, go-to-market strategy and business models
Ready to accept if something is not working (including the business itself) to quickly scrap it and move on
We believe that past failures do not mean future failures at all. We learn from them and we will succeed
Having an idea is not good enough. Knowing how to bring it to life is what counts.
There’s a method to the madness – it’s calculated strategy

I’m on a mission to destroy the stat that 8 out 10 businesses fail and help startups reach their growth stage.
