If you’re in LA next week and interested in discussing how to create leverage and scale oneself as a founder (via automation, no-code, AI, and BPO/outsourcing), come hang out with us IRL!
As a bootstrapped solo founder, I would have been dead in the water without these tools… Yet I am still only scratching the surface of what’s possible.
For a very different perspective, we’ll also have the CEO of one of the largest outsourcing companies, Enshored, tell us How It’s Done.
CEO at Enshored - a 5 time Inc 5000 company. We're hiring!
For anyone in the LA metro area interested in the startup space, come along and enjoy the conversation around Scaling Fearlessly. I am joined by Tyler Rachal and Tal Flanchraych at the Kinn in Venice for a fireside panel talk.
Wednesday 12th from 6pm.

Going All-In is like Starting a Fire: Advice from billionaire founders and investors
Taking advice randomly from people can be dangerous - especially without context.
What is context? It's temporal and situational relevance. If you've watched Bill Gross' TED talk, you already know that *timing* is the single most important contributor to the success of a startup.
So, with no sense of irony, I've clipped a short out of the most recent All-In podcast. Because it talks about the difference between big and small "startups" technology companies that are still founder-led.
Here's the context: both David Sacks & David Friedberg have discussed the launches of their new businesses - David Sacks about Glue and David Friedberg about @Ohalo Genetics. Moments before this, they are talking about the power of their monopoly being the reason that Google and Microsoft can make mistakes but still keep increasing their enterprise value - leading into a discussion about the need for big companies to take big swings (to keep their edge) - and that it's ok to fail.
Critically, small founders need to stay focused: put their chips all behind the one biggest bet (their best idea) and go all-in.
The best physical analogy in nature is starting a fire. Sure, pile it up high, use firestarters or make sure you have the kindling that catches fire quickly and the tinder to keep it going... but start ONE fire. And when it catches, feed that fire - don't start another one. Don't talk about going into another industry... just focus on getting that fire rip roaring.
Someone commented that Gyrilla was across a number of different industries - but, in the end, Healthcare, Technology, Finance, Government Services, even Energy are all dictated by *regulations*. We started in Healthcare, but through our networks have extended into other highly regulated industries. Along the way, we've attracted the same kind of like-minded consultants with big blue-chip experiences (eg Goldman Sachs, Singaporean Govt), but also have startup experience.
Our one "fire pile" is knowing how to navigate the regulatory part of the industry to achieve what you want on the other side: market entry, grant funding, KOL engagement, scaling...
We love to work with "startups" of all ages and sizes who are willing to go all-in on this one, big swing idea and help them navigate regulations.

As a founder, it's easy to get distracted and lose focus on what truly matters. In fact, many successful entrepreneurs had to resist the temptation of being distracted.
One key to success is building and focusing on that ONE fire. For me, that fire is scaling. Whether it's in the services, technology or healthcare industries, I aim to help business owners grow and succeed.
At Gyrilla Investments Group, our ONE fire is regulations. We understand the importance of staying on top of regulations and ensuring compliance to help our clients thrive and expand.
