Accelerate the success of your Startup

Whilst building your own strategic agility

Founding a Startup can be exhilarating, but it comes with a few challenges. Operating in an environment of uncertainty, with no guarantee of success is incredibly stressful even for the most passionate of founders. Often, you have limited resources, be that financial or operational, and are competing in established markets.

You need to differentiate yourself and gain market share from established players with greater resources and brand recognition.

You need to deeply understand your target audience’s needs and how your solution meets them.

Any action you take needs to be strategic, you don’t have the luxury of time to try and figure it out, you need effective marketing and customer acquisition strategies, you need to win investors and partners over and attract the right talent.

Business Education & Mentoring Programs that support you and your success

We have been helping Startups since our days with BlueChilli in 2015. We have rolled out programs supported by LaunchVic and Austrade to accelerate the success and expansion of Australian Startups.

We’ve developed simple frameworks that get incredible results fast because we know that time is of the essence and resources are limited.

We wrap these into education programs that don’t take you months to complete and are supported by industry expert mentors that guide you to reaching your goals and connect you to the right people.

Start with your pitch...

Your messaging is the most important aspect of your business. The lesser known you are the better your messaging needs to be. If you can’t convey the value of what you do to anyone, it will be incredibly difficult for you to grow. Getting your messaging right can make a significant difference to the results of anything you do, whether you’re pitching for investment, acquiring customers, winning over partners or attracting and training talent.

A winning business pitch that can be tailored to different scenarios and audiences is your secret weapon to Startup success. 25eight’s Pitch Training Program has helped hundreds of Australian founders take their business to the next level.

“I really can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve benefited from taking part in it… to the point where I credit a lot of our current success to you both and the program! You’ve allowed me to think incredibly clearly about what our product is, who our target consumer is, what problem we’re solving and so much more.
