About this listen

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Cecil Adjalo, founder of Foundervine, one of the UK's largest and most vibrant accelerators, having designed a high-impact training program that provides ambitious entrepreneurs with the skills, tools, and support they need to confidently scale their ventures. Cecil has a passion for operational efficiency, automation, and creating data-driven organisations which led him into the field of Data and Analytics. He began his career by troubleshooting issues with hospital database software and later transitioned to management consulting, start-up creation, business intelligence, and strategy, with his passion for data and analytics ultimately leading him to where he is now.

  • The importance of focusing on a big vision and not being afraid to think big
  • How to overcome imposter syndrome
  • The challenges of pitching to VCs and the importance of showing traction
  • The role of affinity bias in the startup space and how to overcome it
