📋 Regulatory planning is not an afterthought; it’s a foundation for commercialization. Entrepreneurs who integrate compliance from the very beginning save time, reduce risk, and build the trust needed to enter markets successfully. Too often, startups delay regulatory readiness, only to face costly setbacks that could have been avoided. This week’s Path to Market post highlights the steps to embed regulatory readiness from day one; turning compliance into a growth enabler rather than a barrier. 💬 How early do you think entrepreneurs should start their regulatory journey — and what’s worked for you? #PathToMarket #Entrepreneurship #Biotech #HealthcareInnovation #Commercialization #MarketEntry #RegulatoryCompliance #SAHPRA

Meet the scientist who turned her investor pitch into a three-hour lecture on enzymes. 🧬💤 The innovation? Brilliant. The pitch? A lullaby. 😴 If your audience needs caffeine and a PhD to stay awake, it’s not a pitch — it’s a bedtime story. Investors don’t fund formulas, they fund vision. You can have the smartest tech in the room, but if you can’t sell it, you’ll end up presenting it to… your cat. 🐱 👉 Dare to turn your science into a story that sells. Follow DARE Innovations to learn how to speak investor, not encyclopedia — and actually get funded. 🚀 #startuplife #founderfail #funding #pitching #innovation #deeptech #entrepreneurship #communication #daretobeapro

It’s not about convincing investors with ambition, it’s about showing evidence of execution. This week’s Path to Market post breaks down the Investor Confidence Checklist: the key elements every entrepreneur should have in place before approaching funders or partners. 💬 What do you think gives investors the most confidence: strategy, traction, or team? #PathToMarket #Entrepreneurship #Biotech #HealthcareInnovation #Commercialization #InvestorReadiness #FundingStrategy #MarketEntry TrippleL Consulting

#Impact and #altmetrics ✨📊 Nice to see our paper with Pietro Andreotti, Alessandra Colombelli, and Paolo Landoni on #incubators cited in a recent #EuropeanCommission policy document: "The role of business incubators in a just transition". 📑 This is an example of research impact beyond academia, informing real #policy conversations. 🌍🤝 How did I spot it? 🔎 Not by chance! I do a quick altmetrics check about once a year, looking at policy mentions, news, and online attention. This time, it surfaced the EC citation I would have missed otherwise.

PART 5. Are you ready for your PLAN B? Step 1 join the #MIJAC conversation. Here's the next batch of Theses from Cluetrain that opens the dialogue so well: 11.People in networked markets have figured out that they get far better information and support from one another than from vendors. So much for corporate rhetoric about adding value to commoditized products. 12.There are no secrets. The networked market knows more than companies do about their own products. And whether the news is good or bad, they tell everyone. 13.What's happening to markets is also happening among employees. A metaphysical construct called "The Company" is the only thing standing between the two. 14.Corporations do not speak in the same voice as these new networked conversations. To their intended online audiences, companies sound hollow, flat, literally inhuman. 15.In just a few more years, the current homogenized "voice" of business — the sound of mission statements and brochures —will seem as contrived and artificial as the language of the 18th century French court. Stay tuned -the conversation is just warming up. Get involved. It affects everyone in biz to considerable degrees.
