I recently had a chat with Nikita Olechko, a fellow Antler Cohort member. 🚀 Nikita, along with his co-founders Anjali Dhaliwal & Souren Khetcho, are the brains behind avo - a B2C app that's shaking up the investment game for GenZ. We dove deep into the nitty-gritty of startup life, discussing everything from the distinction between a business and a startup, to the time it takes to gel with your founding team. But what was my key takeaway? 🤔 The art of decision-making in a startup environment. Unlike in a traditional job where your decisions might impact your team or function (like marketing or sales). As a co-founder, your decisions have a ripple effect, touching every corner of the business. So, how do you navigate this? Who do you turn to for advice? Here's a quick guide to help clear the fog: 1️⃣ Return to your roots. For avo, this means understanding their unique customer segment and their beliefs. Success lies in catering to these beliefs. 2️⃣ Evaluate the decision at hand: Is it irreversible? Is it impactful? Can you backtrack and fix things if needed? 3️⃣ Take the temperature of the team. Is there a consensus on the proposed solution? If yes, nail down the details and assign tasks. If not, figure out how much time you need to reach a mutual agreement. In the world of startups, decision-making is less about the individual and more about the collective. And while the stakes might be high, the impact is worth every sleepless night. Just ask Nikita Olechko and his team at avo. 😉
