How can VCs go beyond offering capital and truly serve founders as valued customers? 🌱🤝🌍 Nicolas Sauvage (KF Class 28) highlights in the Harvard Business Review the use of Net Promoter Score (NPS) as an effective tool for closing this gap, offering a simple yet powerful way to collect and act on feedback. By asking founders how likely they are to recommend their VC, firms like TDK Ventures have uncovered valuable insights, from improving communication to offering better support. This four-step approach — soliciting feedback, analyzing it, prioritizing improvements, and communicating changes — ensures VCs serve their entrepreneurs more effectively, creating a win-win for both sides.

"An idea, without action or strategy, is merely a thought—devoid of the ability to generate profit." Over the past 8 years of my entrepreneurial journey, I’ve developed a habit of seeing every situation as an opportunity for growth and impact. Having a great team is truly a blessing; together, we view problems as challenges to tackle with a positive mindset. It’s fascinating how, after dedicating so much time to building businesses, my mindset has shifted to continuously finding opportunities wherever I look. Whenever I face a challenge or hear about others’ struggles, my immediate reaction is to think, “Could a business address this?” This perspective keeps me innovative and fuels my creativity. Have you experienced a shift in how you perceive the world since starting your entrepreneurial path? #BusinessMinds #CreativeInnovation #EntrepreneurMindset #MerakTech

This past Saturday, we had the privilege of facilitating a dynamic and transformative workshop for the visionary businesses within the KUA Ventures investment portfolio. The session provided a reflective moment for business founders to celebrate their 2024 milestones, navigate challenges, and chart ambitious goals for a truly impactful 2025. During the session, we delved deep into: ✅ Understanding the changing consumer landscape. ✅ Tackling regulatory challenges to build a strategy that’s not only robust but also future-ready. ✅ Embracing agility to make big moves with precision, meeting consumer demands efficiently. ✅ Clarifying the difference between a strategy and a plan—because knowing the distinction is key to driving sustained growth. A heartfelt thank you to us; Faustina Ning'a, Loise Macharia, Muti Mugane, Wanja Macharia and I,Dennis Shina, for delivering such an insightful and inspiring session. We seek to use expertise to empower businesses to think big and adapt boldly. We also extend our deepest gratitude to our partners, Kua Ventures, for their holistic approach to supporting entrepreneurs.
