Sydney Wong's Journey to Creating VenturXIn this powerful Passion Struck Podcast Episode, John R. Miles and Sydney Wong discuss her journey from McGill University to becoming a financial analyst to now leading a startup accelerator in Montreal, CA. We go into why balance, your self-narrative, and routine is so vital in becoming a lean startup.
Sydney met startups at Montreal events that needed help with funding and grants; she offered to write business plans. In 2016, she launched a gamified business plan writing application.
Most people didn't complete "Product Validation" Level 3 (out of 8 levels) during the beta. That was the biggest failure for startups, so she grouped and built out this application. She broadened the research to understand the success metrics that investors, government grantors, and banks are looking for when funding startups.
The VenturX metrics were reverse-engineered to provide quality startups the best chances for funding and success. The rest is history!!!
New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!
