→ Real-world strategies to broaden your perspective and strengthen your brand.
→ A compelling case study of a health app that successfully expanded its market by overcoming this bias.

Whether you're in the early stages of your startup or looking to refine your strategy, this read is packed with insights to guide you toward more informed and balanced decisions.

Founders, take a moment to check out this chart. It's more than just a timeline; it gives insights into the startup journey toward product-market fit (PMF).

See the variety here? Some players like Canva and GitHub hit their PMF stride almost out of the gate. Others took their time to mature.

What's the takeaway? Your startup's path to PMF is not a race. It's a marathon with sprints.

Early-stage founders: Don’t get tangled in comparison traps.

Canva's quick win doesn't mean your slow burn is off track.

It's about finding the alignment between what you offer and what the market's digging for, and sometimes, that alignment is a puzzle you are trying to solve - in the dark.

Here are a few pointers to keep in mind:

→ Keep tweaking your product. Listen to the feedback you're getting and make changes. Keep at it until folks can't ignore what you're offering.
→ Really get to know your customers. It's not just about stats and data; talk to and understand them. They might not know what they want until you present it to them.
→ Don't rush the process. Getting big fast sounds great but get your foundations solid first.

Being a people pleaser in the startup world? Not the way to go.

Here’s the deal: Trying to make everyone happy might sound nice, but it’s a trap.

When you’re running a startup, tough decisions need to be made, and not everyone’s going to like them.

That’s just how it is.

If you’re always saying yes to avoid stepping on toes, you might end up steering your ship into a storm.

Why? Because:

1. You can’t focus on what truly matters if you’re too busy trying to keep everyone happy.

2. Not all feedback is equal. Listening to everyone might dilute your vision.

3. It’s your vision. Being a people pleaser can lead you to compromise on that vision, and that’s when things start to fall apart.

Bottom line: Respect is key.

Listen, consider, but at the end of the day, make the calls that align with your vision and what’s best for your startup.

It’s about finding that balance between being considerate and being decisive.

It’s better to be respected for making tough, smart decisions than liked for being the one who always says yes.

02/29/2024

When pitching your startup: transparency beats a cover-up every time.

Why?

Because trust is the cornerstone of any relationship, especially between founders and investors.

Here’s the bottom line: Trying to hide weaknesses or challenges your startup faces isn’t a strategy.

It’s a ticking time bomb. 💣

Investors are in the business of risk, but they value honesty and the ability to tackle problems head-on.

When you’re upfront about what you’re dealing with, you’re not just sharing a problem - you’re showcasing your problem-solving skills and integrity.

And here’s where brand strategy comes into play.

A strong brand is built on authenticity and trust. Your pitch is not just about selling an idea; it’s about selling your brand’s story, its values, and, most importantly, its truth.

This transparency should be woven into the fabric of your brand strategy, resonating through every touchpoint and interaction.

TLDR:

• A cover-up is worse than the crime. Be honest in your pitches.
• Transparency builds trust. Trust builds relationships. Relationships build investments.
• Your brand’s strategy should champion honesty and authenticity. It’s what sets you apart in a sea of startups.

Let’s be the founders who value truth over convenience. Let’s build startups and brands that endure because they’re built on the solid foundation of integrity.

Patience in your startup's growth strategy is the blueprint for success. Let that sink in for a moment.

I've walked the path from bootstrapped beginnings to where I am today, and if there's one truth I've learned, it's the power of patience. Success in the startup world isn't an overnight story, despite the fairy tales social media likes to tell.

I remember the early days, grinding out 16-hour days, fueled by passion and the occasional cup of coffee that was more like a hug in a mug.

The progress? Painfully slow at times. It felt like running a marathon with no finish line in sight.

But here's the kicker: those painstakingly slow periods? They were my most valuable.

Every setback, every 'no,' every failed experiment weren't just obstacles. They were stepping stones. Each one taught me something crucial: shaping the strategy and resilience to propel my startup forward.

It's easy to look at the highlight reel of successful entrepreneurs and feel like you need to catch up. The exotic retreats, the sleek offices, the buzz of the next big thing.

But remember, what you're seeing is just that—a highlight reel. It skips over the failures, the late nights, and the sheer persistence it takes to make it.

The real secret? There's no magic bullet.

Success is a slow cook, not a microwave moment. It's about staying the course, even when the end seems nowhere in sight.

So, to all the founders out there feeling the weight of slow progress: keep pushing. Patience is not just a virtue; it's your most powerful strategy. Let's redefine success on our terms, one patient step at a time.

Stop comparing your Chapter 1 to someone else's Chapter 20. Your journey is unique, and so will your success.

Remember, the only race you're running is against yesterday's version of yourself.

Here's to the patient builders, the quiet workers, the relentless dreamers. Your time is coming and will be worth every moment of the wait.

Imagine you've just been handed a secret key that unlocks what investors are really thinking during your pitch.

This isn't about the words they say but the silent messages they're sending with their bodies.

Here's the inside scoop on decoding those signals, making you a mind reader in the room.

→ When an investor leans in eagerly, it's like they're whispering, "Tell me more, you've got my attention."

→ A nod is their way of saying, "I'm with you on this." It's as if they're giving you a silent clap.

→ Eye contact? That's the investor's way of showing they're locked in and trusting what you're saying.

→ And when they flash a genuine smile, it's like a secret handshake agreeing with your ideas.

→ Notice them mirroring your moves? That's investor speak for, "I'm on your team."

→ But watch out for crossed arms and legs; it's their armor up, signaling doubts or disconnect.

→ A furrowed brow can be puzzling, hinting they're stuck on something you said.

→ And if their eyes keep darting to their watch or phone, it's a signal they're mentally checking out, maybe thinking about their next meeting or lunch.

→ Rubbing the chin or a thoughtful beard stroke often means they're deep in thought, weighing your words.

→ Tilting their head? They're intrigued, inviting you to give them more.

→ Fidgety moves or tapping? They're either not fully comfortable or itching to move on.

→ And if they suddenly shift, leaning back or folding arms, it might mean you've hit a snag in your connection.

→ But it's not all cautionary. Open palms are a sign of honesty and openness, a good sign they're receptive to your pitch.

→ Hands clasped behind the back? They feel confident and might be seeing you in a position of strength.

Understanding these cues is like having a superpower, giving you the ability to tailor your pitch on the fly, ensuring you keep them engaged and interested.

So, next time you're up there, remember these clues.

They're your secret weapon to turning silent signals into a successful pitch.

If you're spending more time wondering about your product-market fit (PMF) than seeing it in action, you might not have hit the mark yet.

Think of PMF like a puzzle. When the pieces fit, you know. It feels right, and everything clicks into place – your customers are happy, coming back for more, and they can't stop talking about your product.

But if you're constantly trying to jam those puzzle pieces together, it might be a sign to take a step back and reassess.

Here's the deal: not having a clear PMF isn't a dead end. It's a super valuable signal that you have more digging.

It may be time to chat more with your users, tweak your product, or even pivot your approach. The key? Keep learning, keep iterating, and stay focused on solving real problems for real people.

Finding your PMF isn't just about making a great product; it's about making the right product for the right people at the right time.

And when you find it, oh boy, it's like the stars align.

Struggling to define your PMF? Don't sweat it. You're not alone, and it's all part of the journey. Keep pushing, keep talking to your customers, and keep your eyes on the prize.

You'll get there!

Latigo Biotherapeutics, Inc. just stepped into the limelight with a whopping $135 million funding! After flying under the radar, they've just announced their grand entrance with a Series A financing that's turning heads.

The mastermind behind their launch? Westlake Village BioPartners®, who not only incubated Latigo but also led this impressive funding round.

And they weren't alone; 5AM Ventures and Foresite Capital jumped in as co-leads, with Corner Ventures also throwing their hat into the ring.

What's Latigo all about?

They're on a mission we can all get behind – developing non-opioid pain medicines. Yep, they're targeting those pesky pain points without the opioid baggage, focusing on genetically validated targets.

It's the kind of science that could really shake things up, offering relief without the risk of addiction.

Keep your eyes on Latigo Biotherapeutics. With this kind of backing and a mission that hits close to home for many, they're definitely ones to watch in the biotech scene.

Have you noticed how AI is changing the game in healthcare?

It's getting a ton of attention from investors right now, especially when it comes to diagnosing the tricky stuff.

Like Floy in Germany – they're doing some cool work with AI software to help radiologists spot those sneaky abnormalities that are tough to catch.

And over in San Francisco, Glass Health is onto something too. They're using AI to help doctors figure out different diagnoses and plan out treatments.

Some companies are leveraging AI to decode our body's immune reactions.

Jona in New York is applying AI to explore connections between our microbiome and overall health.

Over in Paris, Scienta Lab is developing an AI platform dedicated to precision immunology.

In 2023, U.S. AI healthcare startups saw a dip in venture funding, with the annual total hitting a four-year low at $10.7 billion from 492 deals. The last quarter alone brought in just $1.9 billion over 122 deals.

Yet, standout investments persisted: the top 50 digital health startups amassed $3.2 billion since 2018, including over $500 million in 2023 alone. Notable raises include Treeline Biosciences at $474 million and Inbound Health's $50 million.

Despite the slump, the AI healthcare market is poised for growth, with forecasts suggesting a climb to $12.63 billion by year's end and a potential surge to $187.76 billion by 2031.

For startups in this space, this is your moment. If you're working on AI that makes healthcare smarter, faster, and more accurate, investors are looking for you.

Keep pushing the boundaries – the potential to change lives and the industry is huge.

I think that being a bit of a rule breaker is actually good for business.

Like, when you're not scared to ask "Why are we doing it this way?" you might just stumble onto something big.

It's kinda like when everyone's going right, and you decide to go left just to see what's there. That's where the cool stuff happens.

Being different isn't just for the sake of it; it's about finding new ways to solve old problems.

So, shoutout to all the rule breakers making things happen. Ever found something awesome by going against the grain?

Creating a compelling pitch deck is more art than science, blending the perfect mix of information, persuasion, and personality.

Let's at this art form, but with a twist - let's tackle the cliches with some humor. Because, honestly, if I see one more slide titled "Revolutionary Disruption" without a hint of irony, I might just start a revolution myself.

❌ The "We're the Uber of X" Slide:

Ah, the classic comparison game. It's as if saying you're the Uber of anything instantly conjures up visions of success. Unless your startup involves cars, maps, or confused drivers, let's aim for a bit more originality in how we describe our business model, shall we?

❌ The "World-Changing" Graph:

This is the graph that soars upward so steeply it's practically begging for a reality check. We get it, your projections are optimistic, but unless your startup has found a way to end world hunger while simultaneously reversing climate change, maybe temper those expectations just a tad—or at least explain how you're actually going to achieve those stratospheric numbers.

❌ The "Our Team" Slide With Random Fun Facts:

It's great to know that your CTO was a national chess champion in high school, but how does that help your tech startup scale? Unless you're developing an AI to conquer the world of competitive chess, let's focus on the skills and experiences that directly contribute to your company's success.

❌ The "Innovative Solution" That Isn't:

If your innovative solution is a slightly faster email app, we need to talk about the definition of "innovation." Innovation means breaking new ground, not repaving the old road with slightly nicer asphalt.

❌ The "Trust Us, There's No Competition" Claim:

In a world where startups pop up like mushrooms after rain, claiming you have no competition is like saying you've discovered an uncharted land in your backyard. Do your homework, acknowledge your competitors, and then show us why you're better.

The key to a compelling pitch deck is not just avoiding cliches but crafting a story that's uniquely yours, with clear, realistic goals and a genuine, convincing vision.

I've been thinking a lot about: the MVIP myth.

You know, the belief that you've got to build your product first and then look for validation?

It's a trap that catches a lot of first-time founders.

They hold off on sharing their ideas, waiting until they've got an MVIP to show.

In case you are wondering, it’s not a typo. It’s Minimum Viable Initial Product. I coined that to accurately reflect the reality.

From what I've seen in the ventures I've been involved with, this approach is outdated and, frankly, doesn't cut it anymore.

Convincing first-time founders to put their idea out there early and validate it properly is tough, but it's crucial.

Let's start embracing the idea that feedback and validation come first, shaping our products to fit real needs, not the other way around.

What's your take on this?

Ever been caught in the MVIP trap?

02/05/2024

In the fast-paced world of startups, time is not just money; it’s everything. The quicker you validate your business idea, the sooner you can refine it, pitch it, and bring it to market.

This is where the Lean Startup Methodology, a brainchild of Eric Ries, comes into play.

It’s more than a buzzword; it’s a systematic, scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in an age where companies must innovate more than ever.

The Lean Startup Methodology is not just a set of principles; it’s a mindset. It’s about being adaptable, responsive, and customer-focused. For startups, this approach can significantly reduce market risks and help focus resources more efficiently.

By validating ideas quickly, startups can avoid the pitfalls of spending time and money on products that the market does not want.

Embrace lean, learn fast, and iterate towards success.

Ever wondered how Dropbox became a household name? 🤔

It wasn't by chance. They started with something simple: a demo video. Not a fully-built product, just a video.

And the response? Overwhelming!

Here's what they did right: They used "feedback" as a roadmap.

Every comment, every reaction shaped what Dropbox would become. It wasn't about guessing what might work; it was about listening to what users actually wanted.

Key Lessons for Startups:

Your Users are Your Compass: Early users are more than customers; they're your guide to what works and what doesn’t.

Iterate, Iterate, Iterate: Use the feedback to refine your product. It’s about evolution, not revolution.

Embrace Change: Be ready to pivot based on what your users tell you.

The secret sauce? Feedback loops. Launch, listen, learn, and improve. It’s a cycle that turns good ideas into great products.
