Register Now We chatted with Philip about the ups and downs of the startup world.

What is the biggest startup mistake you’ve seen or experienced, and how can others avoid it?

The biggest startup mistake I’ve seen is people who are afraid to hire. I speak with a number of early-stage entrepreneurs who are wearing every hat in their business and are having difficulty scaling as a result. Investing in your first few hires can be scary when the future of a business is uncertain, but it can unlock significant growth and give you leverage to spend your time on more important tasks.

What is one key takeaway that you hope attendees learn from your session?

I’d like to speak with people about the importance of speaking with early clients and continuing to gather feedback from clients as a company grows. You have to evaluate all feedback with a grain of salt, but we have found that patterns generally emerge. This can help you prioritize your product development cycle.

What sets you apart from others in the industry?
