Reshma Sohoni: European Entrepreneurs – the recipe for success

Reshma Sohoni, the Seedcamp CEO, opened the second day of the How To Web 2010 edition. Her presentation was entitled “European Entrepreneurs – the recipe for success”.

In her presentation, Reshma spoke about the Seedcamp micro-fund and program for entrepreneurs and shared some DOs and DON’Ts for European startups.

DOs:

- be commercial, not just techie;

- be assertive, positive, optimistic about your product;

- be awesome at helping start-ups as you are;

- be open to going where the opportunities are

DON’Ts:

- be afraid to think big

- be apologetic for being from Eastern Europe

- be secretive about your idea

- talk to good people

- use smaller markets as excuse.

The 3 very important elements for a start-up from Reshma’s point of view are Passion, Customer Thinking and Execution.

Interview with MailerLite at Seedcamp Week 2010

Among the participants at Seedcamp Week 2010 we have met with 2 young entrepreneurs from Lithuania: the co-founders of MailerLite – Ignas Rubezius and Eimantas Norkunas. MailerLite is an email marketing service provider established in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2008 as Mailer.lt. The service was first targeted only to the Lithuanian market. In only one year of activity on the lithuanian market, MailerLite managed to become the leader in email marketing on this market. .This success inspired the co-founder to offer email marketing services to other countries as well based on their experience and know-how on the Lithuanian market.
