MA$16.67/min per minute(2)Fully-Integrated End-to-End Strategy for Startups to Build, Manage, and GrowManuj Aggarwal • Vancouver BCCreated 4 years ago in Business / Getting StartedYoung startups always have challenges to overcome. A startup typically faces steep competition. Has no talent in their respective sector. Doesn’t have the money to invest in marketing. Or a startup may have many ideas but is not sure how to make it happen. A strategy problem can be anything that gets in the way of achieving business goals. These days most successful startups are built on strong relationships. To quickly reach the top, startups need to forget about the perfect product and focus on understanding their audience and building a relationship with them. At the end of the day, if you don’t know people, you will miss out on opportunities. You need to be aware of what your prospects want, or how they think. Market segmentation, market size, go to market strategy, competition analysis, right USP and ROI strategy are just a few among the key pain points entrepreneurs battle with. Evaluating deep market research and understanding market psychology is key to the success of a startup. As a startup founder, you have to understand the very reason why people buy a particular product. You cannot implement any marketing strategy in your startup without observing the psychology of customers. And using advanced technologies, not only make it easy for you to get your foot in the door, but act as a rocket fuel for your hyper-growth.Manuj Aggarwal Vancouver BC(2)

MA$16.67/min per minute(2)Hire the Best People and Make Them Feel Great About Being on Your TeamManuj Aggarwal • Vancouver BCCreated 4 years ago in Skills & Management / LeadershipStartups notoriously face problems when trying to hire or recruit. Hiring can be an issue because of budget restrictions, finding the right talent, or a combination of both. Hiring and training employees are always difficult for startups. Startups are typically run by small teams. And a small team typically means you have limited resources. It is tempting to think that everybody can do everything. But, this is not the case. It’s even harder when you have to train people from scratch without proper experience and a lot of time, with little interest in the job as well. So what is the solution? In an increasingly digital world, it's a fallacy to think only to hire people from within the local community. Outsourcing at the initial stages allows your core team to focus on other crucial areas of your business. The ability to tap into a global talent pool also means you can search for highly specialized skills that aren't available locally. With this in mind, what services do you use to find candidates? Where are the best places to look? Are there certain processes you should consider when using these kinds of services?Manuj Aggarwal Vancouver BC(2)

MA$16.67/min per minute(2)Build Rock Solid Technology to Improve Your Systems and Transform Your BusinessManuj Aggarwal • Vancouver BCCreated 4 years ago in Technology / InnovationThere's a popular saying that startups move at 110% of the speed of light, and 90% of them are broke. Even if a startup finds the product/market fit - they generally lack the resources and knowledge to invest in technologies and infrastructure conducive to their growth. The amount of technology startups needs to adopt is daunting and requires time and expert knowledge, which they don’t have. But the truth is that startups often lack the right systems and digital tools to be able to do so. Even the tech startups in Silicon Valley generally lack the knowledge and access to latest digital technologies. A lot of companies are still using outdated platforms and tools for developing their products and services. Their failure to control a deluge of customer enquiries, orders and payments, often leads to inefficient processes and frustrated staff. The wrong systems in place can also cause errors which ultimately lead to unhappy customers and extra stress for the whole organization. So the question arises, what are the true costs and risks associated with using manual and error-prone systems?Manuj Aggarwal Vancouver BC(2)

MA$16.67/min per minute(2)Access to Essential Information to Make Well-Informed, Faster DecisionsManuj Aggarwal • Vancouver BCCreated 4 years agoDue Diligence refers to the process of reviewing a company’s business practices, financial records, and other matters before making an investment in it. Due diligence is a big part of evaluating startups. It is carried out by a qualified expert to satisfy a legal requirement or to protect someone's interest. Due diligence is critical to every venture capitalists and entrepreneur’s life. Investors need to be very careful about the investment which we are going to make. A thorough due diligence process before putting money into startups plays a pivotal role in protecting the investments and also in establishing the trust level between an entrepreneur, angel investors & VC firm. That being said, due diligence is time-consuming and frustrating. You really need a multi-faceted inspection to get to the bottom of every detail - whether it is technology, operations, supply chain, or any other aspect of the business. The problem is that most due diligence in startups is frivolous and not geared toward the real issues. It's hard to get a full picture of an investment opportunity, especially if you do not have the right expertise to ask the most revealing questions. How to find the right expertise to uncover where the skeletons are hidden?Manuj Aggarwal Vancouver BC(2)

MA$16.67/min per minute(2)Grow Your Startup With Proven, Tried and Tested Sales and Marketing StrategiesManuj Aggarwal • Vancouver BCCreated 4 years ago in Sales & Marketing / Growth StrategyWhen you’re starting a business, every task is full of uncertainty. You don’t know when the demand will come and you don’t know how much people want to pay for it. As a result, many startups struggle with sales and marketing. Marketing is not only about getting users but also about getting new investors and acquiring funding. You need to get users/customers while you are running out of cash. Yes, it certainly takes time for a startup to become popular and get some traction. But what if you could speed up the process by using the right marketing tools? Automation and digital marketing can spread the word about your startup like wildfire. Attention is the fuel that powers the engine of marketing. The more people pay attention to your messages and offerings, the more likely they will be to take some kind of action – ideally take out their credit card and buy your product or service. However, getting your prospects' attention is one thing – understanding why it happens, and how you can make it happen faster (and more consistently), will give you a higher return on your investment. While many companies spend millions of dollars on ad campaigns that seek to grab our attention, they lack the science behind what happens once interest is captured. Capturing the hearts and minds of your prospects is good. Selling is better. How do you capture your prospect’s attention in the first place? How do you make that deep emotional impact on the first contact, how do you roll out a winning marketing and sales strategy?Manuj Aggarwal Vancouver BC(2)

Manuj has given me great insights in defining the Architecture for my product keeping the Enterprise in mind but being lean at the early stage. His expertise in Cloud Technologies along with setting a Continuous Delivery pipeline was really helpful so that I can go back to my product development team and adopt these best practices.
