Right to win lies in the differentiator that we create for our business which should be a 10X than what other businesses of that kind does... But the sad part in academia as a business doing the right thing than doing what is easy itself has become a differentiator... meaning the "the purpose of education has itself become a differentiator"...#business #value #success #education

To raise funding, you need to answer only two questions. -What is your right to play? -What is your right to win? Your right to play is why you should start this business. Maybe you’re from this industry, your family is in it, you have worked in it, or you have noticed something unique about it. You might even have first-hand experience as a customer. Your right to win is what unique advantage you have that others don’t. What gives you an unfair edge over the competition? If you can answer these two questions well, you can raise money for any industry.

Every week, I evaluate 5 Founders grant strategies. Some questions I’ll dive deep into this week: - What’s your next development stage? - When do you have to get there? - What must be advanced? - When’s your next funding round? - How much will you be raising? - How long will the money last? - When is your current granted project ending? - What grants are you considering next? - What’s your plan to get them? You’d be surprised how much this exercise aligns their own priorities and expectations with their company needs. I am surprised every time.

It's not only about raising money.
