All entrepreneurship starts with an idea and a belief that one has a better way of solving a problem. To get the idea to market, cash needs to be deployed to forge the team, produce the product, find the customers and exchange product for money. There are a number of ways to fund ideas to market. Most important thing to note is that money is a commodity and not all funders are the same even if the money is the same. So you must pay attention to raise funding from sources that align with your mission, entrepreneurship style and which give you the most non-monetary support.
Your founding team is one of the most critical factors for how fast you succeed or even whether you succeed with your startup. In this episode, you will learn what qualities to prioritize in your founding team, how to distribute your co-founder job roles and some important considerations to assess in order to build a cofounder team that can make your startup successful.
Adebayo & Daniel explore how to take the first step from idea to market, whether to focus on cheaper or better or newer products, how to fundraise from VC and the impact of giving on the entrepreneur's journey. You will learn how to become an entrepreneur.
