Garage Days

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and you’ve launched your new company. Sure you’re working from a folding table in your uncle’s garage, but you still call it your own. Maybe you've raised some money. You’re designing a website and recruiting your first employees. But how do you run payroll? And what do you do with lunch receipts? In this episode, we’ll get into the nitty gritty of the early days: renting your first office, landing your first customers, and how not to run out of money.

The First Big Win

In this episode, we’ll talk about the first big win and what it did for the company. You’ve spent half your first round, hired a dozen employees, signed 20 customers. But be honest: Those “customers” were other start-ups, local companies, friends of yours. Then comes a cold lead, a different time zone, your first “mainstream” prospect. It’s the first deal that would legitimize you. You need the win, the money, the morale boost. Time to step up!
