Monthly Roundup 🚀🧨 What an eventful last month it has been at LABELL-D, filled with fascinating meetings, conferences, and pitch events. The startup life is in full swing 😎. From #MilanFashionWeek to web3 events, brand visits to pitch nights, I've been on the go to ensure we seize all the opportunities that come our way. Stay tuned, as we have some exciting brand partnerships lined up that will soon go live. 👓🕶️ Developing LABELL-D has been the best school for me and, equally, the most significant challenge I've undertaken in my personal and professional life. Every day brings a new learning curve, and I'm meeting incredibly interesting people, potential investors, business partners, and contributors. This past month has been incredible for LABELL-D as we can feel the transition from being a startup with an idea to becoming a full-fledged product. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of many individuals working behind the scenes. 💃💃💃💃! A highlight of this month was the fundraising event at the Bingham Riverhouse in Richmond, London. It was a carefully curated event with a mix of industry professionals and investors. This is also where we met our latest partners/investors, who have been a tremendous support to us in recent months and have influenced the trajectory of LABELL-D significantly. PS: I pitched, but they forgot to take a picture – that's just one of the challenges of startup life. 🤪🤪🤪. Let’s see what October brings 🏃♀️🏃🏃♀️ #teamwork #startups https://lnkd.in/ebHry4xV

Yesterday, we facilitated a workshop that addressed topics often less touched upon among founders. We were truly astounded by the willingness and openness of the founders to delve into challenging subjects. The thoughtful structure, designed by Susanna of Inner Work World LLC, encouraged meaningful exchanges among participants. This session has set a promising tone, and we eagerly anticipate continuing this new series of workshops. Strengthening the dialogue within our startup community remains paramount. https://lnkd.in/eKYtxxir Der nächste Workshop in dieser Serie: https://lnkd.in/eUkbRJcj #VLabAcceleration #SwissStartups

Support systems can't compete, they should collaborate! Like they say, "if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together". Only the very random narrative is my own, not the story, because I believe that if we are "not pushing the limits" then what in the world are we here for. OneValley Sabah B.

Today I attended the Startup Council's Fundraising Office Hours hosted by Scott Fox. While there were many valuable insights to be learned from this session, these stuck out to me because they were relevant to my situation and where we are with my startup, NonprofitsHQ: 1). Lead with the business when speaking with investors, not the product. So many entrepreneurs (myself included) instinctually lead with discussing their product instead of leading with the problem they are addressing and the size of the market for that problem. But when we start with describing the business instead of the product, this shows investors that there is not only an actual problem to solve, but that a market does in fact exist for that problem. 2). You need to be able to show some type of growth. Investors need to be able to see some kind of measurable growth. This can be in terms of revenue, or a workable product that's out there that people can use/are using, or other traction based metrics that demonstrate the need and ability for your product to scale. Even when you don't have revenue or profit just yet - some semblance of growth is necessary to help investors understand that your idea might just be a good one. I highly recommend any founder that's looking to raise (or even just learn about how all of this works) check out https://lnkd.in/gdebC8zT and attend Scott's next event.
