DESY Start-up Office’s Post

💡 Change is the only constant in the world of startups, isn't it? This applies not just to the companies but to acceleration programmes, too. At BEyond Belgium, we recently confronted the reality that our approach needed to evolve. 💪 We had a fantastic marketing workshop, but we realized it didn't work for everyone. The marketing needs of a B2C startup are different from a company targeting large corporates. 🎯 So, we did what any startup do. We adapted. 🔄 Instead of a one-size-fits-all workshop, we decided to split it into two more focused sessions: 1) Growth Marketing, led by the serial entrepreneur Vince Meens. 2) Account-Based Marketing, led by the revenue guru, Thomas Goubau. Just like the startups we support, we're learning to build the plane ✈️ as we fly it. After all, our dedicated entrepreneurs deserve a programme that is as adaptable and flexible as they are. And speaking of our entrepreneurs... are you ready to be one of them? The application deadline is fast approaching. If you're an ambitious startup ready to grow with a programme that adapts to serve you better, apply now (and before 15/8!) 🚀 Romain Degen Emmanuelle Ghislain Olivia Degueldre

Here's What We Can Control & Here's What We Can't: A Founders' Series on LinkedIn Hello, LinkedIn family! As we navigate the entrepreneurial landscape, we continually face presenting our vision and value. Whether it's to investors, potential customers, or our team, conveying our ideas can make all the difference. That's why I'm thrilled to announce a brand-new series of posts dedicated to mastering the art of startup presentations and the things that are entirely within our control as opposed to those things that are not.

We'll dive into the measurable metrics that ground our ventures in reality alongside the intangible elements that fuel our passion and connect us with our audience on a deeper level. Why this Series? I aim to spark conversations around these critical aspects in the spirit of learning and growth. We'll cover everything from understanding your market size to capturing the essence of your startup's story. But this series is more than just a one-way street of information; it's an invitation. Your Role in This Journey I'm calling on you, my LinkedIn network, to engage with these posts actively. Reach out, share your experiences, and discuss how we can apply these insights to our entrepreneurial endeavors. Your perspective is invaluable whether you're in the early stages of your startup or scaling new heights. Let's Connect and Grow Together Ultimately, my goal is to share knowledge and foster a vibrant community of entrepreneurs who support and inspire one another. So, if you're as passionate about making your mark and learning the intricacies of impactful presentations, please reach out. Connect with me, comment on the posts, or message me.

🏆 Excited to share some great news! I had the honor of winning not one, but two startup pitch competitions! 🚀 It's been an incredible journey, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to showcase our vision and hard work to esteemed judges and investors. Winning these competitions has reaffirmed our belief in the potential of our startup and has provided valuable validation and support as we get ready to launch. Here are some key takeaways on how to best prepare for a pitch competition: ✅ Know Your Audience: Research the judges and audience demographics to tailor your pitch accordingly. ✅ Craft a Compelling Story: Your pitch should tell a story that captures attention, communicates your unique value proposition, and sparks interest in your startup. ✅ Practice, Practice, Practice: Rehearse your pitch until it becomes second nature. Practice in front of different audiences to get feedback and refine your delivery. ✅ Focus on Impact: Highlight the problem you're solving, the market opportunity, and the potential impact of your solution. ✅ Be Concise and Clear: Keep your pitch concise, focusing on the most important points. Avoid jargon and complex language that could confuse your audience. ✅ Prepare for Q&A: Anticipate questions and objections, and be ready to address them confidently. ✅ Show Passion and Confidence: Let your enthusiasm for your startup shine through, and exude confidence in your team and vision. ✅ Seek Feedback and Iterate: After each pitch, gather feedback from judges and mentors to identify areas for improvement and iterate on your pitch. Remember, winning isn't everything – participating in pitch competitions is also a valuable opportunity to network, learn from others, and refine your startup pitch. Keep pushing forward and embracing every opportunity to showcase your startup's potential! #StartupPitch #Entrepreneurship #Winning 🌟 P. S. This photo was not of a contest I won.
