"If you're starting out, yeah, you are going to have to hustle. And on the flip side..." Paul Singh, Investor and Founder of Results Junkies, talks about what comes after the hustle on Tech Scenes Unplugged.

11/14/2024

I often talk to founders about fundraising—the challenges, the struggles, and the big wins.

What I find across the board is that the founders who struggle with fundraising don't think of it as a process.

11/13/2024

"There are only two decisions that are very hard to reverse." Paul Singh, Investor and Founder of Results Junkies, talks about how to make fast decisions on Tech Scenes Unplugged.

"I think it was more efficient, because it forces you to be organized." Rathna Sharad, CEO and Founder of FlavorCloud, talks about remote fundraising on Tech Scenes Unplugged.

11/11/2024

There's a lot of talk of bringing people back to the office, but from what I've seen working with hundreds of high-growth companies, the teams that have the top talent cast a wider net.

11/07/2024

Are you getting the most out of your annual session? Pulling your entire team together for a day out of the office is often expensive, so you should make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck. Here are the key ingredients:

➡️ A well-planned agenda
➡️ Prep work so the conversations in the room are well thought out
➡️ A facilitator who has led sessions and can guide your team through obstacles

"The only way you figure it out is by actually doing it." Rathna Sharad, CEO and Founder of FlavorCloud, talks about early stage fundraising on Tech Scenes Unplugged.

11/05/2024

Most of the teams I work with who have tried to get started with OKRs get too lost in the sauce. It's simpler than you might think.

11/04/2024

If the team doesn't have enough time together to talk about what's not working or the problems that they're having, and work as a team to solve those, you'll have a lot of issues moving forward.

11/01/2024

You can reverse engineer success in the coming year if you use the right tools in your annual session.

10/31/2024

One of the biggest mistakes I see teams make in their annual planning sessions is not doing the prep work ahead of time.

If you have any questions about planning your annual session, feel free to reach out to us at Collective Genius. We'd love to help you out.

10/30/2024

Having the right format for your annual session is absolutely crucial—otherwise you'll probably find your team getting lost in a lot of conversations that ultimately don't matter.

10/29/2024

Have you noticed your team coming up with OKRs and action items seemingly on the fly in your annual sessions? It's crucial to prep them ahead of time with the agenda so that they can work with their teams to bring well-thought-through ideas to the session.

10/28/2024

Having someone on the outside—not a board member, not an investor, not the founder or CEO—facilitate your annual planning is key to making sure you're seeing your blind spots and getting the most out of the session.

10/25/2024

"When you are the visionary in many ways as the founder, and you have such a clear idea of what the future looks like, if you don't align, it can be really tough." Jenny Fielding, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Everywhere Ventures, talks about founder alignment on Tech Scenes.

10/25/2024

"We talk about issues constantly, but they never seem to get solved."

This is something I hear from teams ALL the time. Typically what's going on is that they don't realize they need a system not just for ex*****on, but also for problem-solving.

Our Peak teams use Triage—and they get things DONE.

Fun outing at SoFi - Vikings vs. Rams. The game didn’t go our way but an excellent time. SKOL Vikings!

10/24/2024

"I don't think you can underestimate the feedback that you get from customers once you've brought the product to market." Forest Flager, CEO and Co-founder of Parspec, talks about timing your product launch on Tech Scenes Unplugged.
