DESCRIPTION
When creating the startup Drinkizz in 2019, it was necessary to adopt fundamental rules to promote the chances of a sustainable success of the activity. Launching an innovative drink that was completely organic and natural, and creating a new market segment for positive energy, is an extremely difficult challenge. Thanks to the entrepreneurial expertise of over thirty years of the co-founders, fundamental choices were established from the start: market positioning outside of competition, taking the time to create a high-quality MVP (Minimum Viable Product), creating alternative offers to ensure better treasury autonomy, raising funds that preserve the structure of the company’s share capital, establishing a long-term legal structure from day one with a solid shareholders’ agreement, protecting intellectual property, etc.
After more than five years of operation, Drinkizz has practiced these fundamental choices while adapting them to face the unexpected, the specificities of operations in ASIA as well as various economic, health, and geopolitical crises. It is this operational experience feedback and integrated into a longer-term reflection that we offer you to discover in this training.
COURSE OVERVIEW
Whether you are a solo entrepreneur, in a startup, in a larger company, an investor, or an employee, this training gives you powerful points of reference for success in business both as a full-time or part-time entrepreneur and as an employee-intrapreneur. The content is based on the experience of the trainer, Pierre Bonnet, an entrepreneur for about thirty years. His journey and fundamental practices are described in his book “Meta-Entrepreneur”. He explains how to increase the chances of success in business using four elements that form the universe of the winning entrepreneur: ‘Motion’ to clarify objectives, ‘Engagement’ to clarify actions not to be missed, ‘Treasury’ for financial management, and ‘Assurance’ for legal matters and governance rules. These four elements form the acronym META, which embodies the idea of taking a step back on the subject of entrepreneurship to act more effectively.
The course also incorporates two tools that you can easily reuse. First, a quiz with about twenty questions that is used at the end of the training to test your knowledge in entrepreneurship. This questionnaire will be useful for sharing your new knowledge around you, for example with your teams, co-founders, or investors. Secondly, a spreadsheet (Excel) for the automatic calculation of equity dilution based on an investment (pre-money, post-money, fully-diluted stocks, cap table)
