‘We are going to prove to the world we have awesome talent and innovation right here in Northern Ireland’

This episode is the third part in a 3-part series about the birth of ‘The Change’

The principles of success are universal and Gavan and Andrew are bringing them to the world of venture capital with ‘The Change’ creating ten billion-dollar businesses in 10 years.

They are seeking technology companies that can bring solutions, disrupt industries, change the world and become billion-dollar businesses.

This episode focuses on the values that Gavan and Andrew are looking for in the start-ups they want to invest in and why these values are key elements in a billion-dollar business.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If the big questions haven’t been asked and the answers interrogated before you start then you will be nothing more than an also-ran.
• What are the values that govern your conduct and the values you seek in the people who work with you or for you
• We needed a way to judge each of the potential founders against our overall aim to create billion-dollar businesses;

Legacy

Leadership

Quality

Sacrifice

• These are the important values if you want to build a billion-dollar company.

Legacy

• We are looking for people who don’t see their achievements limited to themselves. Legacy is about what you create outside of yourself for the benefit of others, it's about the impact your life and work has on others.

Leadership

• When it comes to creating a billion-dollar business the leaders must have the magnetism to attract others such as investors, employees and customers to their cause.

Quality

• Can they demonstrate quality in every area of delivery being on time or ahead of time every time. Preparation and follow up all must be delivered to the highest quality.

Sacrifice

• Does the founder appreciate that investment by The Change only comes if we believe they understand that you cannot create a billion-dollar company unless you are prepared to sacrifice virtually everything in your life for a significant period of time.
• We want to create a movement of people ‘agents of change’

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you are going to live to eighty, would you not sacrifice seven of those years to achieve true greatness and choose what you wanted to do for the rest of your life’

Whether your business is in venture capital or selling candy floss you’ve got to take the time to think about why?

If you are just trying to impact on family and friends you don’t have the mindset required to create a legacy, make an indelible mark on the world

‘You know it when you see it, that mercurial twinkle in their eye that great leaders have’
