Our Agenda
Every experienced entrepreneur and investor knows what ingredients make make a successful startup
The main ingredient isn’t the idea itself as much as it is the entrepreneur behind the idea. Entrepreneurs are the energy that fuels as a startup, not to mention navigates it through the ups and downs of the venture. This requires skill, expertise, and a good team to work with.
The problem with today’s society that most people know the brand Pango Nike, Waze, and others. But nobody knows Uri Levene (Founder of Waze), or Shlomo Zeitman (Pango Inventor), or Phil Knight (Founder of Nike).
“Burn Your Ships”
In the year 1519, Hernán Cortés arrived in the New World on his ships with six hundred men to venture into the unexplored continent. Upon arrival, Cortés made history by destroying his ships in front of his people. The reason? To send a clear message to his men: There is no turning back.
Two years later, Cortés and his team succeeded in their conquest of the Aztec empire.
Although we are long past the days of conquering unknown continents, this story sends us, modern day entrepreneurs, a strong message; that you must commit yourself fully to your ventures in order to succeed. Holding on to your job, or at very least having planning an escape route back to a new job in your mind holds you back from your success.
We strongly believe that entrepreneurs cannot succeed by holding on to their ships.
Starting a venture takes full hearted commitment and dedication to your journey. Failures and pains don’t prevent success, they make success.
The large majority of the greatest entrepreneurs that ever lived failed at the first venture, but succeeded incredibly in their second or third venture. They can only attribute their success to the experience they gained and lessons they learned from their first tries.
Examples of entrepreneurs that burnt their ships and succeeded are Walt Disney, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Henry Ford, and most of the greatest entrepreneurs in the world.
First Plan, Then Execute
There are some investors that dive head first into building their product, long before properly researching the market, building a business model, planning ahead financially and strategically.
What inevitably happens is the entrepreneurs have a finished product with no buyers, or a product that does not meet the basic needs of the market, and they end up having wasted time and money. In business, pragmatism wins. Plan first, execute second.
