    2021/05/25
    This is the first episode of me sharing some (hopefully) wise tidbits of things I have learned, and things I am learning, in my first 12 months as a startup founder. Starting with SALES - well I have to really because it's my thing. I have been a sales guy for most of my career, having led sales teams in high growth tech startups, and now guess what? Yes, a founders job has got to be sales, whether you like it or not. And selling your freshly launched & unheard of product, can be a tall order. So in this episode I cover (and it's not just for early stagers): The saturated world of LinkedIn and what I've found that has worked for bubb.io Catching the attention of CEOs The taboo subject of email marketing and how to do it properly to drive results How being a technical co-founder with no sales experience can go in your favor Selling early mover advantage and leveraging being a brand new startup Back to basics target tracking and how to book meetings How to cold call without pissing people off Hit me up at 👉 shorturl.at/szHM4

  • S1, EP15, 2020 Entrepreneurs Club: Qooore: Igor Sheremet and moving half way around the world in a lockdown to raise $700k and launch a trading app
    2021/05/21
    Igor is the Founder of Qooore, a smart signal investment app with a bit of gamification & social thrown in to capitalize on the huge market that of millennial investors. But Igor's story is way more than just another guy starting a tech company; in the middle of lockdown in 2020 his previous business became completely defunct, so (in his own words) he realized 'life is too short', and he decided to launch a tech company. And where better to launch a tech company than San Francisco... So he packed his bags, got on a plane, landed in the valley and proceeded to raise $700k to launch Qooore. This is definition of entrepreneur, and the epitome of the 2020EC.

    2021/05/14
    Holly Stephens is the CEO and Founder of Subly, a clever platform that's really disrupting the ancient art of subtitling that's seen them grow to 60,000+ subscribers during Covid. But Subly is not the only disruptive part of this episode; Holly is challenging the status quo around fund raising and rapid growth tech by building a global team whilst she and her partner are on the road, living in a new country every 3 months. And we hear Holly's story of an eclectic mix of experience from Youtuber to Google Product Manager to selling coconut to Subly (and more), and an interesting one at that.

  • S1, EP12, 2020 Entrepreneurs Club: Reprise: Joe Caprio & being fired from his job to Co-founding one of 2020's fastest growing startups
    2021/04/29
    Joe Caprio is the Co-founder of Reprise, a Silicon Valley based sales-tech platform that's revolutionizing the way in which buyers interact with software demos. But Joe's story is one of stable 'career VP of sales' guy who found himself out of a job at the start of Covid, before a serendipitous moment saw him reconnect with some old colleagues to form Reprise; a startup so promising that VCs were queuing to dish out the cash, with them Series A-ing to the tune of $20m in less than 12 months. Not to mention the 50 headcount by month 11. We hear the idiosyncrasies in tech sales, the comical moments around raising money, and how this is an incredible time to be a startup. A few jokes and questionable analogies thrown in for good measure, this is a thoroughly enjoyable episode from a thoroughly interesting entrepreneur.

    2021/04/15
    Tom Lipczynski is the Co-founder and CEO of Vpply, an Australian based job board startup who are bringing video to the job seeking market - well it was already there, but they're just doing it better. And this is way more than just another disruptor story; Covid was the catalyst for Tom having a 'screw it let's do it moment' and saw him go from working for the largest job board on the planet, Indeed, to creating his own and taking on Indeed with no previous startup experience.
