Working With Fortune 500 Companies As A Tech Startup
When I first started Xena, I never imagined we’d have the chance to work with giants like Nestlé, Samsung, and P&G. But as Xena grew, so did our opportunities. Initially, I was hesitant. We were a startup with an amazing product, but why would big companies take the perceived risk of working with us? Then, a head of innovation from a major CPG firm gave us our first break, opening the door to the world of Fortune 500 clients.
Enterprise sales taught me a lot, especially about relationship building. I truly believe business, like life, is built on personal connections and empathy. It’s all about making things easier for your customers. While larger companies have complex processes like procurement and onboarding, we were lucky to have champions within these organizations who saw our value.
It’s been a rewarding journey, and I’m grateful to my team for making it possible. Enterprise sales may require more time and effort, but the payoff is huge-both in credibility and in morale. Plus, having those big logos on our website definitely helps with fundraising! Today, Xena works with businesses of all sizes, and I couldn’t be prouder of the value we provide.

A Little Discomfort Can Be A Good Thing: The Unlikely Ingredient in Every Success Story
Переглядів 372 місяці тому
It's easy to fall into the comfort zone. We humans are wired to seek comfort, safety, and security. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs tells us that our instinct is to fulfill basic needs. But for entrepreneurs, staying comfortable can be DANGEROUS. A little discomfort in your daily routine can be the difference between stagnation and growth. Think about it: every success story is paved with discomfor...

    And this is the migration paradox. Should they be allowed to migrate to areas where they have a better chance at life, liberty, and happiness, only to be stopped by people who were only lucky enough to be born here?

    SMH. Just another example of startups/new products being created for the 1% of the 1%. Sam Altman while a cool dude has also suggested a universal income, which has been tried in California and you can see the videos of all the homeless this has created. This case is like FB occulus glasses, a hard product created before the problem.
