Tech-Entrepreneur on a Mission Podcast
225 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 15 ratingsWelcome to the Tech-Entrepreneur on a Mission podcast.
My name is Ton Dobbe. I am the founder of Value Inspiration and the author of ‘The Remarkable Effect’.
I envision a world where every B2B SaaS business succeeds because they're creating software their customers would miss if were gone
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆:
Research consistently shows 90% of all startups fail. That's bad.
What's worse however is that +75% of SaaS Scaleups fail - companies that are supposed to have product-market-fit.
Far too few Scaleups create the traction they aspire for and fail for the wrong reasons
I believe this should stop - and hence I started my business and this podcast
The goal I have with this podcast is two-fold:
to inspire new forms of value creation by sharing compelling ideas and stories about the potential we can unlock when technology and people blend in the right way.
Share experiences from tech-entrepreneurs like you about what it requires to create a remarkable software business and how to overcome the roadblocks to do so.
