"Ensure you do not overbuild. If someone has a huge pain that they are willing to pay you money to solve, they will be willing to sacrifice on features. Done is always better than perfect!" Our #Founders cohort had a Fireside with former NDRC Entrepreneur in Residence and CTO whisperer Philip Reynolds on top tips for their founders journey, plus Philip’s experience at Anamara Capital, founding Contract Hound and mentoring startups worldwide. A key topic? Developing your first MVP. He emphasised the importance of having a 'shots on goal' mindset. Top Tip: If it takes you 6 months to develop your first MVP, you may only have one shot. But by iterating with a new version each month, you can have 6 shots in the same amount of time 🚀 Heather Morris | Shiu Lun Tsang | Heather Morris | Jane Dillon | Emily O' Gorman | Deirbhile Gorman | NDRC

According to Startups Magazine, investors prefer backing companies with multiple founders because they consider them more viable and less risky. More so, partners can often complement each other's skills. That is not to say solo founders are destined to struggle, but if you are an aspiring entrepreneur, understanding the how, what and why behind finding a co-founder or business partner is vital. Therefore, you are invited to dial in and join a special hybrid discussion with serial founder Robert Gelb and Natalie Hotchkiss from CodeBase tomorrow, Wednesday, July 17 from 5:30 - 7:30pm. Attend online or in-person at CodeBase Edinburgh. As they dig into the nitty gritty of all things co-founders, you can expect to learn practical tools and tips to help you on your co-founder search, as well as prompts to reflect on your startup vision as a way to guide you when connecting with a potential co-founder. This event is a collaboration between Campfire’s Cofounder Curious, and Techscaler. #cofounder #partnership #collaboration #businessgrowth #enterprise
