I’ll be conducting a live online webinar o Thursday, September 25 (11:30 AM – 1:00 PM MTN) on StartupTherapy™ – Building your founding team, creating a successful startup culture, understanding power dynamics and dividing up founding equity.
This webinar is being sponsored by the Utah Innovation Team at the Nucleus Institute and in part by the Small Business Administration. It is only for Utah entrepreneurs and is no cost to attendees. Utah companies and teams can register online to attend.
More about this webinar:
If you’re doing a startup, be sure to get some “Startup Therapy™” because the startup stakes are high – and personal. Most entrepreneurs are surprised that entrepreneurial teams have to do a lot of “emotional” work to be successful. This is because entrepreneurship stretches each entrepreneur mentally, physically, intellectually and emotionally, and likewise tests relationships.
Among a founding team, the company’s board and early key employees, there are often tough, personal issues, varying personal motivations, hidden (usually) agendas, as well as the potential for a great deal of money. Mix these together and the potential for failure increases dramatically, while being completely unrelated to the vision, solution, strategy or execution of the team!
When the going gets tough, the successful get talking!
When the going gets tough, the successful get talking, and this StartupTherapy™ webinar is designed to help structure these conversations very early in the startup process to help establish a successful and resilient startup culture. These conversations will help the team establish a clear and consistent vision for the company and for it’s internal culture. The webinar will also discuss the basics of power in an organization, including the types of power. Finally the program will discuss how to address difficult issues such as the distribution of equity among founders and the importance of managing the cap table. Links to additional, no cost resources with even more, in-depth content will also be provided to participants.
