Analysis paralysis is BORING. And it doesn't get you results. Most founders think they fail because of the market, the product, or the pitch. But the real killer is a slow mindset. In this episode, Sophia Matveeva shows you why bad work beats perfect ideas — and how shifting your mindset can be the difference between building real momentum and watching your venture die. You will learn: Why perfectionism feels smart but keeps you stuck How no-code tools tempt you to tinker instead of launch Why top founders move fast and embrace imperfection How to build momentum before you’re ready — with real-world examples and a challenge for you to do today Chapters 00:00 The Mindset Shift for Non-Technical Founders 03:07 The Importance of Speed Over Perfection 05:53 Accepting Imperfection in Innovation 09:02 Consequences of a Slow Mindset 11:47 Taking Action Before You're Ready FREE COURSE: 5 Tech Concepts Every Business Leader Needs To Know Growth Through Innovation If your organisation wants to drive revenue through innovation, book a call with us here .

255. What Most Startup Support Gets Wrong — and How to Fix It 35:26

16 روز پیش35:26

35:26

From accelerators to corporate venture capital, most startup support structures fail to deliver. Investor and entrepreneur Andrew Ackerman explains why — and what founders and corporates should do instead. With over 70 investments and hundreds of founders mentored, Andrew brings rare perspective from both sides of the table. Andrew is a serial entrepreneur who has founded two companies, led an accelerator, and now advises startups, VCs and corporates. He’s also the author of The Entrepreneur's Odyssey — a novel-style guide to what startup life really feels like. You will learn: Why most accelerators fail: Discover how many support programs offer flashy promises without delivering tangible outcomes like revenue or pilot deals. Rethinking venture capital: Understand why fundraising is often pursued for validation rather than strategic fit — and why most startups don’t necessarily need VC money. Corporate innovation pitfalls: Learn how misaligned incentives and internal politics transform innovation programs into mere theatre rather than engines of growth. The value of tailored support: Find out how startups can benefit from support structures designed as platforms that evolve with their specific stage and needs. What to do instead: Get practical insights on structuring your support programs, whether you’re a founder, a corporate team, or an investor.

254. How to build a tech ecosystem that lasts 17:25

23 روز پیش17:25

17:25

What does it really take to build a tech ecosystem that endures — beyond PR launches and startup grants? In this episode, Sophia Matveeva shares hard-won insights from working with governments, corporates, and investors on the frontlines of global digital transformation. Whether you’re funding innovation, designing policy, or building a product yourself, this is a must-listen. You’ll learn what most ecosystem builders overlook, why non-technical founders are a critical (and underutilised) asset, and how trusted advisors — from lawyers to auditors — can unintentionally become blockers to progress. Most importantly, you’ll hear how to fix it. You will learn: Why traditional approaches to building tech ecosystems often fall short The critical role of non-technical founders in sustainable innovation Why advisors, lawyers, and accountants can be innovation blockers — and what to do about it The underestimated influence of government in market creation Four key traits shared by enduring tech ecosystems Why Most Ecosystems Don’t Last Short-lived programs: Many government-funded accelerators or hubs launch with fanfare but dissolve within 2–5 years due to lack of traction or measurable ROI. Startup survival rates: Globally, over 90% of startups fail. If an ecosystem is judged by the success of its startups, the system often doesn’t perform well. Dependence on external funding: Many ecosystems are grant-reliant and don’t create self-sustaining capital or talent flywheels. No enduring institutions: Unlike Silicon Valley (Stanford, Sand Hill Road, Google), most ecosystems don’t produce lasting institutions that regenerate innovation cycles. Chapters 00:00 Building Sustainable Tech Ecosystems 10:13 The Role of Non-Technical Founders 16:54 The Importance of Tech Fluency If you’re shaping innovation strategy — let’s talk.
