ARTICLES FOR ENTREPRENEURS

CONVINCING INVESTORS TO SAY 'YES' - FUNDING ARTICLE IN STARTUPS MAGAZINE

Our founder Kay Kukoyi CSM FITOL contributed a 3-page article to the special Womxn in Tech issue of Startups Magazine, which shines a light on inspirational female founders. 

Inside, you'll find everything from startup stories, to articles about delivering pitches, imposter syndrome, raising finance, mentorship, sustainability, clean tech, and more!

The article explores the current economic climate, the progress made since the Alison Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship was published, along with insights from her experiences of reviewing pitch decks and competition entries, and watching founders pitch face-to-face.

Kay says: "I hope the article will help founders to hone their pitches - especially as we navigate the "bumpy" times that we're currently experiencing."

business report - qualitative research with uk smALL & MEDIUM SIZED ENTERPRISES

 In 2016 Purposeful Products (now Purposeful Group) sponsored and ran a qualitative research study with CEOs, Directors and senior-level executives working for SMEs located around the UK. The report was published in March 2017 and is called In their own Words: SME Challenges & Trends Survey, 2017.
​

This unique study looks at the people behind the statistics that are usually the core focus for business research.
Data was collected via 1-hour interviews held over the telephone, or face-to-face, rather than via multiple choice fixed questions.
The study examines the trends affecting small and medium sized businesses, and business frustrations, challenges, and successes are candidly discussed by the respondents.

​You can access a free copy of the report here.

​Our third book; a "software survival guide" for entrepreneurs, business owners and business leaders that wish to successfully select new software applications for their businesses is available in Amazon marketplaces worldwide.

It was written to address a number of issues with purchasing software experienced by the SMEs that took part in the study.

You can pick up a copy via your local Amazon marketplace here.
