The highest impact ROI for tomorrow? Investing in great talent today. When on the hunt for top talent, focus on those who won’t be afraid of diving head first. By zeroing in on top-tier talent, the goal is to cultivate a cohort that sets new benchmarks. In this chat with Lisa Lewin, Mark Taguchi, Chief Impact Officer at Management Leadership for Tomorrow, emphasizes that this is a deliberate move to build a legacy. He insists that positioning today’s talent in the right roles will reshape tomorrow. cc: Mark Taguchi Lisa Lewin Factor Fellowship

Thanks Jackson Fordyce and Demo Day for hosting our vice chair Lisa Lewin to talk tech in NYC, DEI in startups, and Factor: "Diverse founders are disproportionately successful at building billion-dollar companies."
I recently chatted with Lisa Lewin, partner at Primary Venture Partners. We talked about diversity in venture capital, the rapid growth of New York City as a tech hub, and the #1 reason early-stage companies fail. Here’s what I learned from our conversation: 1. â¤ï¸ðŸ”¥ Be more in love with your customer’s problem than with your product. - The biggest reason early-stage companies fail according to Lisa: “They have so lovingly created a beautiful product that nobody wants to buy.†- If you don’t know what your customer wants, go talk to them. Now! - Tape this on your bathroom mirror: “What problem am I trying to solve today AND for who?†2. âœ‚ï¸ Successful founders are cut from the same cloth. - Lisa shared with me the three things founders who’ve received investment from Primary have in common: - A track record of previous achievement. - Demonstrated hustle and grit. - The desire to be part of a startup and buy-in to that culture. 3. 👯 Surround yourself with quality people. - Find friends who promote virtuous cycles of encouragement and sharpening in your life. - Do the people around you dare you to think bigger? - How to know if you’re surrounding yourself with good people: Ask yourself—when those around me offer me advice, do I take it seriously? Do I respect it? Check out the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gZDse5Aw
