A couple of recent improvements to Konquest for us to shout about. Our flexible yet accessible calculation engine is already our pride and joy, but we just keep making it better. Firstly, we recently added support for bi-monthly and semi-annual schemes, ideal for those kicker schemes where you want to close out the year strong and have consultants make up for a shaky start to the year. https://lnkd.in/emeMvYUP Then today, we have just shipped support for schemes which are calculated into any number of weeks from (and back from) a specified start date. Want to run three week schemes starting on the 2nd Wednesday of the year - now you can with Konquest 🦍 https://lnkd.in/eeC_KM9G We're currently hard at work on the next set of enhancements, this time looking at ways you can penalise blank months and missed thresholds in a variety of different ways. Feel your current commission structure is not getting the best out of your teams? There's never been a better time to speak to us. #commissionaccomplished

We have all heard of product-market fit, but what about role-market fit? Ignoring it is like trying to date someone way out of your league without considering what they’re looking for. Here’s why ignoring role-market fit doesn’t work: - When roles don't match what top candidates want, you're setting yourself up for rejection (or to be ghosted). - The best professionals seek growth, innovation, and relevance. - Rigid, outdated job descriptions repel talent, just like a bad dating profile. - Misaligned roles are like unrealistic dating expectations, leading to disengaged, less productive employees always looking for a better match. Don’t let your company be the bad date—focus on role-market fit to attract and retain top talent!

Every tech founder want cash (nothing new here) 😂 Cash comes in many ways: - Revenues - the best form - Equity finance - Debt - Grants I (https://deallite.uk) sit on investor data with relationships built over a long time. Whilst I (Deal Lite) share this data through monthly subscriptions, I avoid investor introductions at all cost due to a number of reasons. I'm currently evaluating a light weight approach of investor introductions for Techcelerate members. Deal Lite also has the ability to include live fundraisers. Just wondering whether there is sufficient demand for us to create a product related service. It could look like below (not finalised - very early research): Product: - Listing on https://deallite.uk (company needs to keep us up to date so the data remain live) - Pitch deck sent to us for a quick review and inclusion with above. Service: For personal introductions, you would need to follow additional process: - Join Techcelerate as a Member. - Build credibility and trust within our community - Sign an agreement on light weight fundraising - Make introductions Of course, I would chat with Stuart Scott-Goldstone to understand legal ramifications. Whatever decided, it has to be a very light weight product related solution to ensure a decent quality of service. No decision has been taken. Just researching at present. I bet David John William Bailey might have some views on this. #fundraising #investment #DealLite
