We've got some exciting updates to share from our side! Midstay began with a dream to help digital nomads find their perfect spots across the globe. But as we journeyed on, we discovered a growing need that couldn’t be ignored—companies were reaching out to us for help in organizing team retreats in Asia, looking to amp up their company culture and team spirit. Fast forward to Q4 2023: We hit breakeven, a big shoutout to our team for this milestone! 🎉 It was a wake-up call. After loads of coffee and countless chats with my co-founder Magnus, we made a bold move at the start of 2024. We switched gears to focus solely on B2B, helping companies plan awesome Team Retreats 🌴 Guess what? It’s working like a charm! We're now zooming ahead, improving our processes with our tech, boosting service quality, and expanding our network of partners to make sure our marketplace covers every need of our clients - and that every retreat is a hit. This pivot taught us the power of staying flexible and really listening to what the market wants. And thanks to that, we're not just growing—we're thriving. 🥳 Can't wait to see where this road takes us, as we’re here to help more and more companies create epic team experiences. Stay tuned for more adventures from Midstay! 💌 #TeamRetreats #BoostYourCulture #StartupJourney #GrowthStory #Innovation #B2B Magnus Sætersdal Remøe Rhino A.

Celebrating 2023's Triumphs and Embracing 2024's Promises at Akurateco As 2023 draws to a close, I find a moment of reflection essential before we all dive into the festive season. It's a pleasure to share some of Akurateco's key accomplishments from this year, along with our ambitious vision for 2024. While Akurateco transcends the traditional boundaries of a typical SaaS company, we embrace this characteristic as our strength. Catering to our enterprise clients sometimes involves crafting tailored customizations and developing new integrations. Despite these elements, the core of our business strategy is centered around recurring revenue. This is not just a financial metric for us; it's a reflection of our capacity for exponential growth and our commitment to long-term client relationships. It underscores our adaptability in meeting diverse client needs while maintaining a steady growth trajectory. Given that we distinguish following types of the revenue streams within the total revenue: -       Pure Recurring Revenue -       Other Revenue from Recurring Clients -       Setup Revenue This diversified yet focused approach has borne fruit, with our Pure Recurring Revenue poised to constitute 75% of our total revenue in 2024. More impressively, we're projecting a surge of over 220% in this segment compared to the previous year – a milestone that's set to double our total revenue from 2023. As we stand on the brink of 2024, our anticipation is palpable. We're not just looking forward to the new year; we're eagerly preparing to embrace every challenge and opportunity it brings. Our journey towards success is ongoing, and with the continued support of our partners and the confidence of our investors, there's no limit to what we can achieve.

Dedicated to our work, we invest our time and resources into nurturing these fresh minds. Guiding them through our agenda, we're not just shaping employees – we're sculpting future leaders who will carry our mission forward 💼 But that's not all! As the market continues, we're driven by the challenge to turn every market flux into an opportunity and every risk into success for our clients. Our holistic approach to support traders goes beyond just numbers – it's about understanding the complexities, reading between the lines, and paving the way for our clients to reach their financial goals 📈 #business #opportunities #Time2Market #marketmanagementservice #scale #gastrading #physicalmarkets #trading

Take your pick of insights... In this interview between Adam Grant and Airbnb CEO, Brian Chesky - they shared these key learnings. 1. Perhaps the most important dynamic isn't the team, it's a "diad / duo / pair". They spoke about this in the context of the power one friend at work can have on performance and health. 💡 Imagine if we invested more thought, time, and training to onboard and support "relationships" i.e. a party of 2 so that two similarly skilled employees are able to maximize potential and produce optimal results because their interaction is so sound? This brings to mind Melissa Nicholson's work to help more employers provide #jobsharing opportunities. 2. What is most important is not urgent. This was shared while discussing #workaholism - often flying beneath the radar when the individual is "performing" well. Their discussion covered how urgent tasks are common and frequent, but to achieve focus, maintain energy, and tap into creativity, a more valuable activity could be the random phone call to a friend or the longer meal with your family. 💡 Remember back to 2020 when we all went through the same thing but differently? The pandemic shook us awake in new ways and placed a finer point on this truth - tomorrow is not promised. Find joy in the here and now. Believe it or not, sometimes, the urgent can wait. 3. Alignment is akin to everyone in the same boat, paddling in the same direction. How to achieve it is the tricky part, but when Adam asked Brian how he does this - it came down to establishing a company rhythm. He gave examples of the cadence of reviews on business matters, the semi-annual cycle of product launches, and the collective vacations the brand takes to ensure everyone is unplugged together. 💡 In a dispersed work world where loneliness is on the rise, reliance on tech is the standard, and pressure remains to be present, perform consistently, and produce, produce, produce, gaining agreement on *vision, *direction, and *plans will require trust, transparency, and tailored communication. There was so much more baked into their chat so when you have 42 minutes - for me it's during drop off or dishwashing - consider listening to the entire episode! #organizationaleffectiveness #organizationaldevelopment #futureofwork #orgdesign #teamperformance

Sydney Lean Coffee Recap ☕ Join this Friday's meet-up → https://lnkd.in/ghgdQgHa 💾 How can we prevent ageism in the digital industry? Ageism is one of the less discussed biases in businesses, and some have discussed it as an ‘open secret’ in the tech industry. With waves of tech layoffs, older professionals may confront a harsh reality that their vast years of experience may be seen as a liability rather than an asset. Definitive data is hard to gather. Research suggests that more senior tech workers get jobs by networking or moving between companies that they already are familiar with than cold applications. But tech culture does appear to champion youth, equating it to innovation and looking for the next hot-thing. Older professionals may be stereotyped into management rather than being on the front-line designing or coding. As the tech industry pursues innovation, the nuanced wisdom and experience of older professionals are crucial. Their deep understanding helps navigate and prevent past mistakes, ensuring that the pursuit of new technologies is both innovative and informed. 🤦♂️ How to get buy-in from management? Getting buy-in on your visionary digital strategy can be a frustrating process. It could either soar over people’s heads or just doesn’t register as a current priority. So, instead of throwing your hands up in resignation or banging your head against a desk, what can you do to get management on board? It’s usually a communication issue. Nailing a sharp, go-to-market pitch that zeros in on big wins can be a strong first step. Keep it simple, shave down the complexity so your champions can easily spread the word and make a strong case for the green light. Also consider what medium will best get the attention of your project gatekeeper. Do presentations resonate, or do they prefer something more visual like a story-board or even a video? Mac raised an interesting point: highlight what happens if you do nothing. “Things are fine the way they are” is the biggest killer of new projects. But what if they’re not? Maybe they are today or tomorrow but highlighting the long term implications of doing nothing is rather attention grabbing. ⚙️ What’s the difference between the 2011 (Lean Start-Up) MVP and 2024 MVP? This question came off the back of an article Luke had read. Back in 2008, MVPs were about launching a basic, functional version of a product to test a market hypothesis at minimal cost and time. The idea was to learn from customer feedback and iterate quickly. Nowadays, particularly from customers looking to build something, we often see confusion around what qualifies as an MVP largely due to increased customer expectations. Launching a bare-bones product may in fact be less viable in 2024 due to these expectations and the abundance of alternatives. So although the principle hasn't changed, the strategies for deploying MVPs effectively have evolved. #techhiring #newprojects #mvpdevelopment
