This is personally shared with you, so I appreciate with gra4tude your feedback. By wri4ng this as an honest early stage startup story, I take my personal experience as a star4ng point and try to visualize my vision with some to be validated assump4ons, rather than to confine to a presupposed clean model of proven trac4on, growth and development. I have become more aware of my own personal competences and piEalls. Awareness is important for personal development. From here, I can proceed to strengthen my weaknesses and build forth on my strengths. In other words, before wri4ng this actual story, I already “know” that the result is a growing awareness of and reflec4on on my personal development and feedback feeds my learning curve. My challenge hereby is to crack the code of pitch success & produc4ze models that result in analysis preceding reflec4on. Disclaimer
