Building a startup is a lot like an endurance race. Just ask our co-founder, Robert Lumley, who recently completed a gruelling 14,000 km race from Beijing to Paris. 🏁 Robert reflects on his experience in his latest blog and draws powerful parallels between the challenges of an endurance race and the journey of founding and growing a startup. From the importance of having a clear vision to making decisive moves in the face of setbacks, these lessons are invaluable for founders at the early stage. Here are just a few takeaways: - Vision is your compass. It keeps you on track, even when detours are necessary. - Quick decisions are key. A missed turn can cost you so fast course correction is critical. - Persistence wins. Success isn’t about avoiding mistakes, but learning and adapting from them. - Trust your team. Just like Robert had to trust his co-driver, founders need to build a strong foundation of trust with their teams. For anyone on the startup journey, this blog is a must-read. Check it out now and learn how to navigate your (ad)venture with agility, focus, and persistence. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eaWAUv8b #startups #venturecapital #leadership #founder #insurtech

Our journey with Bondaval began with a shared belief: that credit risk management was ripe for disruption. Traditional methods were often slow, opaque, and inflexible, leaving credit managers and their clients alike frustrated. Enter Tom Powell and Sam Damoussi, the dynamic duo who founded Bondaval. Tom, a former professional athlete and startup investor, brought a passion for innovation and a deep understanding of the fintech market. Sam, with his decade-long experience in surety and growth within the insurance-backed bonds sector, added unparalleled sector expertise to the mix. Together, they envisioned a future where technology-backed credit risk cover could empower credit managers with greater control, transparency, and efficiency. After chatting with Tom and one of Bondaval's champions at Hamilton - Sima Adhya, Robert Lumley reflects on their outstanding progress so far and lessons other founders can take from Bondaval's playbook. https://lnkd.in/emCKADvb #insurtech #founders #startup
