Lessons from Last Friday Club #April Edition - spoke to some fantastic people and (I think?) helped with some of their issues. Very broad spread of businesses and challenges, but coalescing around these themes: 💡 This is my product, how do I raise money for it? ➡ Wait, back up to what your customers problems are? 💡 What I have everyone needs, but the sector is dominated by Big Beasts and they want exclusivity ➡ Hold up, who does exclusivity benefit? 💡 The problem my tech solves is really big and important problems ➡ Hmmm but didn't the NHS just say your diagnostic wasn't necessary to treat for the disease? THANK YOU to everyone for joining it was brilliant to talk and I got so much from speaking with you. If you'd like to book into Last Friday Club, the link is in the comments. #lastfridayclub #lessons #advice
