What founders shouldn't do is quite pertinent in this age of social media and the need for an "authentic" voice. Gerald Ratner's experience in 1991 proves a cautionary tale:

Wrong answer = I would do nothing!
Tried this for 2 years once when I thought I would retire early and I went crazy. Had to be busy again.
But this is to answer if I retired today. However, if I am much older and my mind/body wants to rest, then that's when I would probably do nothing - depends on what my mind/body is telling me.
If you could retire today, what would you do with your free time? WRONG ANSWERS ONLY

π How it started:
Our founder Vanessa Gibson has been working in the financial industry for 35+ years. Within her time in the industry, investing opportunities have changed dramatically and Vanessa realised the younger generation were investing in assets which went far beyond traditional stocks and bonds.
She believed that fractionalization would open up many more possibilities to invest, be...

"What they don't teach you at Harvard Business School" by Mark McCormack.
Everything you need to know about how to do business as told by the founder of IMG, one of the largest sports management firms in the world.
I always suggest this book for salespeople to read. In my opinion, you only need this to understand sales and how to do business.
If you could recommend just one book that everyone should read, what would it be?

These are very good suggestions. Many thanks.
There's also an interesting piece someone shared with me which concludes that making decisions based on rationality and intuition is the best mix.

Wow - I thought us targeting wealthy individuals was niche! I think niche can work. I remember this company called Charity Checkout which essentially was a payment widget for charities. There was no technical difference to being able to use the Paypal widget but these guys branded themselves as just for charities and made the checkout process white-labelled so that it looked like the charities...

This is how we have done it and have also done it in larger firms:
1. Define your audience by industry and job title
2. You can either use a tool to get email addresses or Sales Navigator on Linkedin to get contacts
3. Use an outbound sequencing software on either the email address or Linkedin to create flows
Depending on the header / opening message, I've seen open rates / message reads...

One thing we realised with Hubspot is that if you have it as your Sales CRM where you also keep your users as well, then if you are looking to send marketing emails (either as part of an active or inactive journey), you have to either swallow the Hubspot marketing module pricing or use an external marketing software and find that you then also need Zapier to integrate the two. The latter is the...

Good luck with the launch. I like this product as currently we have different threads on slack, teams and outlook - this is a good way to avoid thoughts getting lost. Have only looked at your extensive documentation and videos so far but we will be trying this out.

Good discussion point. Forecasting is hard, especially when trying to guess where things are a year from now.
For example, this article link below from MarketWatch summarizes the 2023 year-end forecasts for the S&P 500 from the larger players. Deutsche think it will be 4,500, GS 4,000 and BNP 3,400. Given the S&P closed at 3,895 on Friday, most seem to indicate they see it higher but...

We are looking at advertising on online industry specific publications, Google Ads, Linkedin and investigating Google Display Network (awareness and retargeting). I agree with @sanat_mohanty that PR is good - we tried it for press representation. Couple of the suggestions mentioned Facebook which we will now investigate so thanks for the share.
Have you ever done any paid advertising? If so, what methods did you use?

Hey Harshvardhan. 100% agree on this and my background is B2B SaaS at two large firms. However, depends on how much interaction you need.
For our startup, we found an easy solution which we are going to be putting up on our own website so that users can get a feel for the product. We investigated storylane, walnut and navattic as an fyi.
Good Folks of PH, have you ever used an interactive demo platform?
