In the early days of founding a company and building a product, it is messy! Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Lessons are learned and the business moves forward. But sometimes, the shit really does hit the fan! In those moments you realise whether you have recruited the right people. You start to see who is really cut out for start-up. And, who can stay calm and react with clarity and focus. You need problem-solvers and doers. Thankfully for Markus Seibold of MakerVerse, when the MVP failed, just before an important client presentation, his first hire demonstrated all of those qualities. Manish Katoch came to the rescue, solving the problem calmly, despite huge pressure. These are the moments that define the early culture of a business. They are the 'camp fire' stories of the future. The stories of legend, 'Do you remember when the MVP failed and Manish solved it?' You laugh about it in the future, but at the time, it was a real problem. This is what business is built on. The stories. The legend. The people. The Start-Up Saga explores more of this. Real Founders. Real Stories. Real Advice. With my co-host, Iulia Oprea, we talk to Founders who have lived this. We hope their experiences can help shape decisions and support future founders and entrepreneurs of early stage companies. We are thankful to our sponsors Dragon Coaching House and Alexander Daniels Global for helping to create this first series. We are also thankful to all our guests, without whom the series would not be possible. Alongside the amazing episodes, we have a created a unique resource library with some great tools for founders to use inside their own company.
