What women in #tech want to teach young girls so they never have to say #metoo: my thoughts in @CityAM today, inspired by @CRUXY_CO's workshop with @ICanBeOrg

Come on Hump Day 🔥👊

I run a small business with big ambitions. We need freedom, support and fight. Let’s see @DanielKorski can bring it 🔥

This 👇
The eye roll when a company says it’s been a good year because the team grew, and 0 consideration for revenue, profit or strategic growth. 📈

[Anand Sanwal @asanwal]

Bragging about headcount was 1 of the most corrosive trends in startup land over the last many years

I was guilty of it too

Somehow larger growing headcount became a positive signal of success for companies

When in reality, it may more often than not be a negative signal

When you see your friends @ncino & they say “you & @LilyCovington - you’re like peanut butter & jelly” #nSight2023

[Lily Covington @LilyCovington]

“The future is highly personalised, 360-degree views and business centric” - only made possibly by a single platform with data at the heart. #nSight2023 @ncino 🔥📈📊

[Carrie Osman @carrie_loves_]

“You are defined by how you treat your smallest customer” @ncino #nSight2023 and this culture that filters from customer to partner 🔥

I’d take walks, human sparring and sun-drenched coffee runs over my kitchen table 10 times out of 10.

[Carrie Osman @carrie_loves_]

I realise I am uncool, but I love working from the office.
Especially in St James’s.
The structure works for me, as does the gander for a coffee to see this ❤️

[Lily Covington @LilyCovington]

Exquisite wine, immaculate company and a venue to match.
A pleasure to co-host with @GPBullhound yesterday evening. 🔥

[Carrie Osman @carrie_loves_]

The elegance of St James’s & the #investors & #CEOs connecting over markets fuelled by fine wine.
Thanks @GPBullhound for cohosting with @CRUXY_CO 2009 Rioja, 2017 Chassagne & some SA whites representing the new world 🌍

Offsite heaven @CRUXY_CO - this team 🥹💪

Ripe for a due diligence deep dive in PE? You bet… 💪

[Carrie Osman @carrie_loves_]

Resilience @Google with some badass #femalefounders @StephAitken @KatieStreetmate @Amy_williamsFF
Feeling the boat near capsize and having the force & strength the stay upstanding. 🌊
To grazed knees, bruised dreams and still getting up to fight another day. ❤️

#WhineOverWine is coming. The end of vacuous CEO interviews, with a slice of Burgundy. Time to get real. 🍷

[Carrie Osman @carrie_loves_]

Following @SaaStock inspiration we decided to start “whine over wine”

Oh and find out their go to bottle 🍷🍾

I genuinely think this is life changing 🔥 Time for mental clarity, time for audio books or learning, and feasible 99% of days around whatever life throws at you.

@carrie_loves_ kicking off the morning an incisive interrogation for Nigel Verdon at @railsr_ 🔥 Some brutal honesty and golden truths to avoid the creep to mediocrity driven by Uber scaling 📈 @SaaStock #SaaStock

Why does understanding customers matter?
#SaaS companies who focus on buyer personas see 10-20% higher #growth 📈20-30% lower CAC 💰and a lot higher NPS ✅ @Patticus @ProfitWell @PaddleHQ @CRUXY_CO @SaaStock

[Lily Covington @LilyCovington]

Epic data from our favourites @PaddleHQ on #PLG and why it’s not a silver bullet strategy. The data speaks for itself but only when there’s an obsession over value provision vs just product. @SaaStock @christianbowens @andjdavies 🔥💸
