Season 1 of The Startup Journey Podcast has been an incredible ride! Over the past 11 episodes, we’ve had the privilege of sitting down with world-class entrepreneurs, startup experts, and thought leaders to uncover the secrets behind launching and scaling successful startups.
In this recap, Rui revisits some of the most memorable moments and key lessons from the season, including:
- Finding Product-Market Fit: Kathryn Petralia of Kabbage shares how they adapted their product to meet real customer needs.
- Leveraging Networks: Roger Van Duinen from Varo Money reveals the power of relationships in building a unicorn.
- Customer-Centricity: Peter Fishman of Mozart Data highlights the long-term value of prioritising your users.

Key Takeaways from Season 1:
