Most startup founders share a potent passion and an infectious enthusiasm for whatever their project is about. It’s that drive that propels them and their business forward.
But at a certain point, running a business requires more than simply passion and love. It requires strategic planning and business development—and that’s when today’s guest usually enters the picture.
Glenn McMahon, Managing Director at Portage Point Partners, joins the show to share how he helps founders scale their business and prepare for early funding rounds.
We discuss:
- The benefits of having a “thought partner”
- The importance of evolving and expanding your offering
- Being patient and selective when choosing investment partners
- Why you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help
