What exactly is an ICP? Why is it *so* critical for early-stage startups to define it quickly? Last week, I had the privilege of delivering a talk to the 2024 Radia Accelerator cohort – led by AlbionVC and Speedinvest – dedicated to a mission of helping to create more women-led unicorns in Europe. Speaking alongside Natasha Lytton from Seedcamp, we chatted for over an hour with some of Europe’s most interesting female SaaS founders. Our discussion focused on mission critical GTM work for early-stage startups: - Defining your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) - Understanding your customer - Unfolding a go-to-market (GTM) strategy from there Launching a startup is an exhilarating process. But founders are often so eager to build their product and get it to market, that they overlook a critical step: .. understanding who exactly they’re building for. Instead of developing a product for a real, urgent need, they gamble on finding an audience later. This misstep can lead to wasted time, resources, and, ultimately, failure. So in the spirit of this energizing conversation, I wanted to get back to my sporadic newsletter musings and share my thoughts on one of the prompted questions with you all. Link in the comments. Enjoy! 🫶

Mentorship plays a crucial role in the success of startups, offering invaluable guidance, experience, and connections that help founders navigate challenges, avoid common pitfalls, and scale faster.

Loved every bit of Jared Schrieber's thoughts on the challenges of the local startup ecosystem in this discussion. They really hit the mark and resonate well with the foundational beliefs of Startup Hungary :  🚀 Founders and investors both need to understand better what is a venture-scale startup and what is not, and how they are different 🎯 The need to have an ambition level of aiming higher than what we think is possible 🌎 The lack of a global first GTM mindset 💥 The exponential flywheel effect of outlier outcomes 🦄
