    #090 InHeirit | Coaching an Early-Stage Startup towards Launching

    Founders who have never experienced coaching firsthand often wonder what it’s like to work with an experienced startup coach. At the Midstage Institute, we wanted to peel back the curtain a little to show you what it’s like during a coaching session. I recently spoke with the co-founders of an estate planning startup called Inherit. With their permission, of course, I turned that into a podcast to give founders a little taste of what a coaching session is like and what was discussed. Finding the right target group for the product. How far along is the product. What is the promise given to users? Finding the balance between free and paid services. Prioritizing actions for the founders moving forward.

    #089 dub CEO Steven Wang: Expect Results Before Inspecting

    How is someone with no investing experience or expertise supposed to get into the game without any know-how? Aren’t they just setting themselves up for failure? That’s no longer a concern with dub, which allows users to copy the portfolios of accomplished investors. Rather than having to pick individual stocks, dub allows users to invest in people and their ideas. It’s truly the next great innovation in investing. Certified unicorn guide Roland Siebelink recently spoke with dub founder and CEO Steven Wang on the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast to discuss how dub fits into the investing world and what Steven’s journey has been like as a young startup founder. What it’s like having a startup in a regulated industry. The unique challenge of being a young founder and hiring people twice your age. How the role of a CEO changes immediately after a product launches. Why it can be best not to pre-define an ideal customer profile. The one company-wide metric dub uses. How dub is navigating a two-sided market.

    #088 Clarity CEO & Co-Founder Michael Matias: It’s All About Being on the Court

    Modern technology can give us so many great things, but it also creates new challenges. Over the last year, deep fakes have emerged as one of those great challenges. Deep fakes are a form of generative AI that aims to deceive and manipulate people with things that aren’t true. Luckily, a startup like Clarity.AI is working to address this problem. Clarity serves prominent news outlets, law firms, and other organizations to verify and authenticate audio, video, and images so that people know what is fake and what is real. Clarity CEO and co-founder Michael Matias joined startup coach Roland Siebelink on the latest episode of the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast to discuss the problem of deep fakes and how Clarity is solving the problem. They also discussed a variety of topics relevant to Clarity’s journey as a tech startup. How Clarity approached its move from having a security solution to having a product. Approaching the challenge of having so many potential use cases. The importance of action-based learning and being “on the court.” How startup leaders cope early on when their product is faltering. Behavior patterns that are found in successful startup leaders.

    #087 LimaCharlie Founder and CEO Maxime Lamothe-Brassard: Learn it the Hard Way

    Cybersecurity is one of the biggest markets emerging in the tech industry right now. There are several big players, yet there is plenty of room for startups that are being innovative and taking a different approach. LimaCharlie is the latter, creating a SecOps cloud platform that aims to bring together a variety of cybersecurity capabilities in a single platform. In other words, it’s a more simplified approach to cybersecurity in the modern era.  Naturally, by taking a different approach to things, LimaCharlie ran into some unique challenges during its startup journey. Founder & CEO Maxime Lamothe-Brassard joined startup coach Roland Siebelink on the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast to discuss some of those challenges. The danger of working with investors who aren’t aligned with the company’s vision. Balancing current investors versus new investors for subsequent funding rounds. How to shift toward growth that gives the startup more control. The challenge of tech-oriented founders becoming salesmen. The shift from inbound-only sales to becoming more outbound. How the core values of LimaCharlie have changed as the company has grown.

    #086 Grwth.co’s Founder Mosheh Poltorak: Product Market Fit As a Journey, Not a Destination

    There is a point for all startups when it becomes necessary to ask for outside help. Sometimes that means hiring a fractional CMO to help get the go-to-market machine working. For startups in that position, there are consultants like Grwth.co available to help. Led by experienced founder Mosheh Poltorak, Grwth.co can provide fractional CMO services for startups while also having a plan to hand the reins to an in-house hire when the startup is ready.  Mosheh recently joined startup coach Roland Siebelink on the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast to discuss Grwth.co and share insight from his vast experience as a founder. What does product-market-fit actually look like for startups? Why product-market-fit is an ongoing journey rather than a destination. How product-market-fit is different for B2B and B2C. Why product marketing is a critical part of early startup success. The importance of founders understanding their organic growth. The ideal timeline and situation for startups to work with a fractional CMO.

    #083 Constrafor CEO & Founder Anwar Ghauche: Talk to Your Customers Before Building a Product

    While the construction business is massive, it’s also rather complicated. Fortunately, there are tech startups like Constrafor that are helping both general contractors and subcontractors streamline everything they do, completing projects and getting everyone paid faster. Constrafor is a construction procurement platform that handles everything from insurance to invoicing. While only started in 2019, Constrafor is already striving to become the primary end-to-end procurement platform for the biggest general contractors in the U.S. Constrafor CEO and founder Anwar Ghauche recently sat down with startup coach Roland  Siebelink on the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast to discuss the journey so far. He shared some insight into how Constrafor operates, which is a little different from the average startup: Why it makes sense for Constrafor to use an indirect monetization method. The reason Constrafor spoke with potential customers before building a product. The importance of a sales team, even in a product-led company. How customer success at Constrafor is handled by everyone, not just one team. How Anwar handles employees who do not fit the values of Constrafor. Why Constrafor uses company-wide KPIs rather than team or individual KPIs.
