28. Lee Lam on How Start-ups Prosper

How can you prosper on the start-up journey?

My guest here in Episode 28 is Lee Lam, founder of The UK’s Start-up Partner.

Lee has a wealth of experience in Technology and Financial Services, holding Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff positions, and now helps founders maximise profit margins using smart operational strategies.

Lee explains:

- Why working with start-ups first appealed to her 

- Why working in a big business doesn’t necessarily prepare you for start-up life 

- Why it’s difficult for corporates to blank-page the future 

- How start-ups can disrupt and solve problems quicker than established businesses 

- Why corporates want to invest in start-ups…and how it could dilute your vision 

- Why you need to prepare for growth long before it shows itself 

- Why it can feel like your business is invisible after the initial excitement fades…and how to get through that phase 

- What the best starting point is for a start-up 

- Why, post-Covid, all businesses are start-ups now and how to avoid the post-Covid trap 

- Why the solution is always in finding the right questions to answer 

Lee’s best advice is to get an objective opinion on your start-up idea.

Enjoy!
