💥 NEW BUSINESSES IN 2024: Here's a look at some of the new businesses that have opened so far this year. #huntsvillealabama #newbusinesses #openings #hvilleblast

Breakfast with founders 🥐 I recently met Harvey Jones Harvey is one of the co-founders at Kotini - a platform helping growing estate agencies to automate their sales onboarding and compliance. If anyone has been through a house purchase or sale, you'll know it's painful all round. If you might in the future, let's hope your estate agent uses Kotini! We spoke about: - Understanding your market. Although consumer markets can be a lower barrier to entry, the rising costs of acquisition and brand awareness makes B2B2C distribution channels more relevant than ever. In some cases, B2B markets might the avenue with consumer value add being the bi-product. - Staying close to your customer. You can't build a business behind a screen. Kotini have spent time with their customers (real estate agents) to find out where the bottlenecks and challenges are. Product built for your customers is a sign of a higher quality of revenue. - Build lean. It's easy to look ahead at potential growth and what you need to get there. Though understanding how to scale your existing resources and capacity first can act as a more fruitful return on your own investment. A lean operating model can allow you to be more nimble and make faster decisions or pivot if necessary. I'm always a fan of businesses that are digitising traditional industries. It comes with its challenges, namely, user adoption and behaviours - but if cracked, there's plenty of potential to go. ----- If you're a founder keen to meet, I'd love to have breakfast with you in London. Investors, sign up to Table for Ten dinners. Link to waitlists are in my featured section. Naturally, I can't meet with everyone, but I'll always try to make time to speak!

Thanks to Wefunder, 159 local Nashville residents are investors in a NY Times "The Restaurant List, 2024" restaurant, Bad Idea. It's cool when regular citizens get to invest in small businesses (and tech startups) they love. This is our vision. An economy where middle class Americans, as well as rich people and institutions, are participating as investors in their own communities. And an economy where people are investing in their own neighborhoods and communities, as well as parking their money on Wall Street. https://lnkd.in/gqjVNua5

✨ Ever wondered how Factory Girl came to be? ✨ It all started in Berlin, right when the city was buzzing with creativity and energy. Our founder, Sofia, found the perfect spot in 2009 and knew she had to create something special there. That’s how Factory Girl was born. But Factory Girl isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a community. From day one, it’s been a spot where stories are shared, creativity thrives, and every dish has a story behind it. We owe our success to the amazing teamwork and passion of our crew, our guests, and everyone who’s been part of this journey. Every time you visit, you’re stepping into that story. It’s a place where good food, good vibes, and great people come together. As we keep growing, we’re excited about what’s next. If you love our vibe, have a creative spark, or are thinking about new ventures, why not join us? Let’s see how we can bring the Factory Girl experience to even more places. Interested in partnering or franchising? Let’s chat and keep the story going. #community #teamwork #factorygirl #franchise #enterpreneurship #opportunity #partnership #franchiseopportunity #creativity

When it comes to building a minimum viable product (MVP), “go big or go home” probably isn’t the best advice to follow. Most large companies you see today didn’t start out that way. Let’s take a look at Groupon. Andrew Mason founded the company with a huge idea: a place where people could bring groups together to accomplish a goal. In the end, that’s what Groupon is today (though it’s more about discounts than collective action). But it couldn’t have gotten there without thinking a little bit smaller first. Click through the carousel to find out how Mason took Groupon from failure to success, just by starting small. #MVP #Groupon #StartSmall #yycbusiness #yegbusiness #digitaltransformation

After a productive week for founders to reflect and work on their pitch and deck presentations, The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce Retail Storefront Accelerator, powered by cela, is back in full swing! We are so proud of the progress our founders are making as they prepare for our upcoming demo day, ready to launch their retail storefronts across #Manhattan! 1️⃣ Pitch Practice 1: This week, our founders engaged in their very first Pitch Practice where they were given the opportunity to pitch in front of one another, allowing them to refine their presentations as they prepare for their Demo Day on January 22nd! 2️⃣ In-Person 1 on 1s: Our founders were also given the opportunity to have an in-person consultation with our co-founder, John L., as they opened up about the progress they’ve made so far as well as challenges they are facing. Many founders came prepared with questions and walked away with a clear sense of direction. Excited to see what’s next for them! A huge thank you to Impact Hub New York Metropolitan Area for hosting us, providing us with a conducive space for our consults.
