A new article from our venture studio, 19days, explains why you shouldn’t get bogged down in finding the perfect industry for your next venture and offers some great tips on alternative decision criteria. Check it out!

In the early days, our team would explore a few industries at the same time, hoping to find game-changing insights from a lightweight discovery process. The better way (and what we do now) is dive headfirst into just one of our top industries and watch the magic and momentum that comes from deep research on problems worth solving in that area.

I had such an incredible experience with tech entrepreneurs at the Founder’s Cartel! We spoke about building exponential tech companies and raising Venture Capital Investment. Melvyn Lubega provided exceptional insight into how he built Go 1 to unicorn valuation together with his co-founders! It was also great to hear about his Venture Capital experience. What stood out for me was: - Having a growth mindset as a founder: ensuring that your to-do list reflects the growth of your business. - Know your numbers early: Customer acquisition cost, Lifetime value, etc. - Capital efficiency: bootstrapping your business early on and being able to achieve more revenue with less capital raises is a great strategy. Lastly, Simele Shange from Jozi Cloud Kitchens was an incredible host and made the most scrumptious food. #Entrepreneurship #Tech #Startups #VentureCapital Edzai Zvobwo, Zanele Abraham Matome, Onkgopotse Khumalo, Loyiso Vatsha, Moeketsi Molefe, Kgololo Lekoma, Lebogang Mashaba MBA (PD)SA, Lethabo Sekhu
