📈 Last week we hosted our Knowledge Dinner “Scale me up, Scotty!” in cooperation with our portfolio company Blinkist! It was a great evening full of valuable connections and insights. Again, a shoutout and huge Thank You to our honored speaker Björn Wolff and amazing Panelists Dr. Christian Liesegang, Leander de Laporte and Aimie-Sarah Carstensen for sharing their knowledge and experiences, some of which we want to share here as well:    🤝 The right people at the right time All employees are valuable, but same as with product there is timing for people as well. Think carefully, which people are required at the current state of the startup and hire and staff accordingly.    🐟 “The fish stinks from the head” Founders should be setting and living the culture of the startup – against all MBA-lectures, this usually happens top-down. Culture is created by founders who embody their vision as employees will follow their lead. That said: seeking a proper cultural fit within the new and existing workforce is highly recommended and sometimes it is better to trust your gut feeling.   👑 Finance is Queen Even though that is the most annoying part, great bookkeeping and financial management is key to success and even more so during the scaling phases of a startup. Sometimes it might even be better to get external experts to help instead of hiring mediocre finance managers.   🚀 Go meet the founders! Even, and especially, the ones that are not in your verticals or stages. Entrepreneurs are outside-of-the-box-thinkers that can adapt uncommon solutions for their specific problems or learn from others mistakes and, in that regard, the best interactions are the ones with other entrepreneurs. Something we as IBB Ventures learned as well and are trying to actively promote within our portfolio with such events!   For these and more insights we are highly thankful to have such a great portfolio. We once more recognize the value of geographical proximity: All of our companies are located in Berlin, Germany's startup hub. We want to leverage this unique selling proposition to build bridges, bring the community together, and foster a culture of knowledge sharing within our fellow founders. We are looking forward to the next edition of our knowledge sharing events and to our upcoming Venture Day in September! 👋
