Roei Samuel has founded two companies, RealSport and Connectd. RealSport grew to a community of over 8 million monthly unique users across the UK, USA, & Australia. After RealSport was acquired in 2018, Roei moved into the investment space. This connected him to an entirely new community, but many of the frustrations he felt as a founder were also true as an investor and start-up advisor. There was a distinct lack of diversity and accessibility in investment opportunities for start-ups. All the same deals were going to the same group of investors, stifling innovation for both the founders and potential investors. Connectd disrupts this cycle.⏺️ Voics: https://www.voics.co/🎙️ Podcast University: https://bit.ly/3Dqip2S🎤 Podcast Accelerator: https://bit.ly/3f1ir81📞 Schedule Free Call: https://bit.ly/3GsNyTU (01:42) Introduction(03:47) How I started my podcast & online business(06:06) Why do you do what you do?(11:35) The maturity you gain from entrepreneurship (15:29) The importance of timing in startups(18:45) What venture capitalists are looking for now(21:15) How to execute on your ideas (25:40) Fundamentals of great founders(28:00) The world is run by C students(31:45) Using tactical stress for personal growth(33:00) Doing what’s right for you(39:25) Environment design & becoming who you want(43:50) The problems for big corporate companies(47:30) The importance of culture in startups(51:29) How to create a great culture(56:45) Considerations of cofounder relationships   Please leave a review:- Spotify: https://spoti.fi/36RrL9Y- Apple: https://apple.co/3uCwViFSocials:- LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3FCS3JA- Twitter: https://bit.ly/3ExJ26Z- YouTube: https://bit.ly/3HleVy2- Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3EE3FuG- Apple: https://apple.co/32ArW7D- Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3Jq- TikTok: https://bit.ly/314Support the show
