NEW CONTENT

Today, we’re telling the truth.

We went back through the TechTO archives to find content we’ve been getting lots of inquiries about recently, how to build a company.

Ben Zifkin, a successful repeat Entrepreneur and the current Founder and CEO of WayTrade (formerly Hubba) joined us to speak on this exact topic a few years back, and we think this advice is more relevant than ever.

Why is this cool?

Founders need honesty, and need a truly honest take on the process of building something big. That’s exactly what Ben breaks down for us, from the perspective of the lies we are told, and the truths we need to hear.

Whatever stage of building you’re at, these are the lies we’re told as Entrepreneurs.

Check out more content just like this on our YouTube channel and every Wednesday in the TechTO Newsletter.

PARTNER CONTENT

Founders always get the credit, so we’re partnering with Humi to acknowledge the important work of some of tech’s top operators.

We’re calling on the community to nominate your top operators in tech (Leaders in Finance, Ops, or HR roles) to celebrate their achievements, together.

Why nominate someone?

• Networking Opportunities: You’ll get an invite to the celebration of the winners if your nominee is accepted

• Recognition of Peers: This is a great way to acknowledge colleagues' hard work and achievements and boost their morale.

• Promote Excellence: You’re helping to highlight top performers that can set a benchmark for excellence within your team or network

• Company Prestige: You’re helping to demonstrate that your company has award-winning employees, which is good for prestige and your employer brand

• Career Development: Nominating someone can highlight your ability to recognize talent and leadership, which can positively impact you.
