Everyday Startups

Anthony Ware joins us to discuss Founder Mental Wealth, a research group focused on the mental health of underestimated entrepreneurs. This is a topic very close to our hears and needs to be higher on the agenda.

Francesco Stasi, Founder/CEO of BotSupply.ai talk about the growth in the chatbots market due to the pandemic.

Francesco Perticarari is raising London’s first-ever VC fund dedicated to Deep Tech. He’s telling Dan and Nana about how startups can impress his investors and win big funds.

In today's episode, Dan, our Head of Product and Marketing, talks about the difference between building first and talking to customers first based on his experience of launching products.

We’re delighted to welcome Perdie and Margaret Anne onto the show to hear about their exciting new project, Spice Startups.

They’re taking all their knowledge gathered from building one of London’s best-loved co-working spaces and creating an accelerator program for the post-pandemic ecosystem.

That means going hybrid, with off and online services. Sounds interesting... Let’s find out more.

Feel free to get in touch with Nana on Linkedin, Dan on Twitter or visit www.tectoniclondon.com for more info on how we help startups understand their customers in these unpredictable times.

Amandine Flachs has been wanting to startup with her CTO for years but they were waiting for the right moment.

It turns out that lockdown was that moment.

With a few commitments on hold, Amandine saw an opportunity at the cross-section of gaming and AI, and thought “the time is now”.

Amandine has started up in “Stealth” mode (i.e. no brand name and social media). It's an underrated way to do it as it takes the pressure off and provides the opportunity to experiment without fear.

Let's find out more.

Luxury brands seem to be just there, don’t they? 

It’s as if Chanel and Louis Vitton have always been leading the way in perfumes and handbags. 

But they haven’t. 

Luxury brands are carefully crafted over years and years, suffering peaks and troughs and having to earn their status. Much like any business or startup. 

That’s why we’re talking to Thais Montjean, luxury brand expert, to find out how she helps build global brands and how any of her methods are transferable to the startup world.

This week we're talking to Anya Combs all the way from Kickstarter in NYC.
