Episode Summary

 

Every startup business reaches a point when the best laid plans go awry. Sometimes it may be possible to recover, but on other occasions the only course of action is to admit defeat and re-strategise. But when you've spent months or years building your tech company from scratch, accepting that your enterprise has reached a point of no return can be incredibly tough. On this episode of the Business of Engineering podcast, we talk to entrepreneurs about their experiences of pivoting, rebuilding and achieving success from the ashes of a perceived failure.

 

 

Contributors to this episode are: Daniel Burton - Acceleration Manager at the Natwest Business Accelerator, a program that enables entrepreneurs across the UK to reach their full potential through coaching, mentoring and one-to-one support. Bradley Jensen - Director of For Fork Sake, an online dining community that drives traffic into restaurants on a discount discovery basis. Tia Roqaa - Founder of Roccabox, a subscription-based online beauty box service that allows customers to access regular product samples carefully selected by industry insiders.
