Don’t Fundraise Before You’re Ready 5 tips for startup founders by co-founder and CEO of Soapy, Max Simonovsky: Tip 1: Be Honest with Yourself. Build trust by being truthful with yourself, your team, investors, and clients. Honesty is the foundation of integrity in your company. Tip 2: Don’t Sell if You’re Not Ready For complex B2B or enterprise deals, ensure you fully understand the sales process and have a complete, market-ready product before diving into sales. Tip 3: Don’t Fundraise Before You’re Ready Take time to learn the fundraising process. Rushing into it before understanding the market can waste valuable time. Tip 4: Don’t Compromise on Your Team. Your team is crucial. Find people who will support you, mitigate risks, and help you succeed. Pay them enough to stay motivated.

The ABC of Leadership in Startups by Daphna Horowitz, a leadership coach with decades of experience and success stories: A - Awareness. Spend time on self-awareness and reflection. Growing yourself is key to growing your business. B - Bold Moves. Think about a bold move that could propel your business forward. If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would that move be? C - Communication. Embrace transparency. People need to hear things more than once to feel secure and connected. What do you need to communicate today? C - Connected Relationships. Reach out to someone you’ve hesitated to connect with. Building new relationships can open unexpected doors. C - Curiosity and Learning. Seek advice from those with different perspectives, even on topics you think you know well. There’s always something new to learn.

Traction is Everything. Stefan Avivson ("Mr. Raw") has been founding companies over the last three decades, including 5 exits, millions raised, and also two crashes into bankruptcy. He shared 5 tips for startup founders: Tip 1: Talk to customers—a lot. Engage with as many as possible to refine your product based on real needs. Get at least 100 potential customers on a call. Tip 2: Qualify quickly. Don’t waste time on leads that aren’t genuinely interested. Be upfront with customers and investors to focus on the right opportunities. Tip 3: Be bold—make the offer. Don’t hesitate to ask for the sale or investment. A direct ask leads to clarity, whether it’s a yes or no. Tip 4: Learn from rejections. When you hear "no," ask why. You might uncover insights to turn it into a yes or improve your approach. Tip 5: Embrace rejections and failures. These are part of the process. Each one brings you closer to success by teaching valuable lessons and offering pivots.
