My Journey
Envestors helped with the visa process of course, but more importantly, provided sound advice and guidance in development of the business throughout my time as a client. Their introductions to other clients and their service providing partners was also invaluable. On top of that, they organised useful and informative events.
Also, they provided useful tools such as our own equivalent of LinkedIn+Facebook merged into one - the Envestors Community platform where all network contacts were signed up and could be connected to or have calls with.
Advice to Founders
If you are an extrovert, invest your money in people and build a team you can trust very quickly. If you are an introvert, invest your money in your knowledge and skills, and then hire a team that can become an extension of your capabilities.
