As you probably know, one of Founders Founders start-ups, Musicverb, was successfully acquired last November (👍  for the 1st exit).

What does a start-up need in its journey in order to “make it”? I believe execution is the key. Not the idea. It’s all about….

• Having the right skilled people that believe in you, your project & share the passion. 💡 Team, VC or BA-wise. 👌

• Promoting an encouraging culture that fosters creativity, overcomes setbacks & pushes for more. ⏫

• Having a transparent & aligned communication on all levels, especially between co-founders. 🗣

• Knowing your customers. 🧐  What, why, how & when they need your solution. Constantly checking up on them & their necessities (customer success). ✅

• Knowing your market/s too. 🎯 Is it big/niche enough? Does it make sense? Creating something that already exists, somewhere where is not needed at all is pointless.

• Being focused on your sales & having an efficient sales process.💰 In the end it’s also about making (lots of) money with your project.

• Sharing & pitching the solution to everyone. 👄 The world needs to know it. 🌎

• Accepting destructive critiques & considering the constrictive ones. ⏯  They will either thicken your skin or help you grow better. 🌱

• Not over complicating things. 🌀 From doing to improving.

• Delegating the responsibilities. 👥 You cannot conquer the world all alone.

• Having vision. 🔭 Seeing what you company can be in future, rather than what it is now.

• Staying passionate ➕ & never giving up. 🙃
