Say Goodbye to 240 Days… Welcome to Inside Small Giants

Inside Small Giants is a weekly newsletter dedicated to helping Founders make their start-up great, while small.

After almost a year of documenting Mane Hook-Up’s fundraising journey in public, I’m shifting the focus of this newsletter to show the steps we’re taking to make our business great.

Like many Founders, I dream of creating a world-class start-up that truly transforms our industry. But (thanks to reading Bo Burlingham’s Small Giants) I now know that ground-breaking change isn’t just for the goliaths of the start-up space. 

It is possible to be great, while small.

As a first-time Founder, I’m often unpicking and trying to solve the biggest questions about building a business for the first time. So I’ll be sharing everything I learn along the way in a bid to help other Founders build a great company that their team and community can be proud of. 

Each week, I’ll cover things like:

• The progress, problems and plans we’re facing as a business

• How to build an A* team (that’s here to stay) 

• Setting team and company objectives that actually help you win

• A guide for founders struggling to juggle business, family and life

• Balancing building your pre-revenue business with making money to survive

• Hiring technical people when you’re a non-technical founder
