A week ago today we did something big – something that changes the way we see ourselves, and how others see us. Comms specialists from the Latvian startup ecosystem came together to define a new narrative – one to replace the common phrases that we have inadvertently internalized and repeat, but which don’t leave a good impression about the perspective of the country, and which undermine our success (not to mention ones that can be easily refuted with facts). You know the ones. Instead, we’re replacing them with phrases that we know to be true: - we have incredible startup policies - we have an unusual amount of talented people - we are successful, we just don’t like to shout about it. Over a multiple-hour workshop, this new narrative (read the full narrative in the Labs of Latvia article) was refined and honed by the startup community. It was important that this comes from the community, rather than some higher-up government institution, or some foreign branding specialist. And yes, that meant embracing concepts that speak to the Latvian character. We are “normāli”, we are “small”. And you know? These terms hold a lot of potential in them. I’d be happy to talk to anybody interested and go deeper into each meticulously chosen word in the narrative. Many thanks to everyone who participated: Latvian Startup Association Startin.LV, Latvian Startup Awards, Olga Barreto Goncalves, Nikola Matjusenko, Katrina Krievane, Karlis Skuja, Jānis Palkavnieks, Kristine Tarvida ⚡️, Ieva Treija, Anda Asere, Lelde Beņķe-Lungeviča, Aiva Streļča, Maija Milbrete, Mara Perkuma-Maslakova, Jānis Jēkabsons, Elina Lidere, Raimonds Jurgelis, Biruta Elīza Kirmuška, Andris Rubins, Anete Kiseļeva.

❓ Why did you start a startup? We love origin stories, so we've asked some of our founders why they started a startup. We hope this will inspire more people to start startups - and that you don't need to have a 'perfect' reason to start something. Thank you Steffina Yuli, Md. Umayer Islam, Mark Koh, Stephanie Stadler, Nirali Zaveri, Izzudin Hafiz, Tayef Sarker, Jason J Sosa, Michelle Chin, Kevin Hoong, Hsu Ken Ooi, Liyen Tan, Vivien Bresson and Robert Hoving for sharing your story! Watch here: https://bit.ly/3s8NGo8 For the other founders reading this - why did YOU start a startup?

Through my work with Beekee and several other startups, I have come to appreciate more and more Dr. Patrick Flesner's genius book, Fast Scaling. Patrick provides a really simple yet highly relevant, fact-based framework to assess whether a startup is ready to scale, or still needs to do some homework. If you watch the first 10 minutes of this video, you will understand the five key elements of the framework. Highly recommended! #startup #scaleup
