Fuel for Founders: TEDxOxford

🚀 Fuel for Founders 🚀 - In February 2025, I brought together my passions for backing founders and for the sport of modern pentathlon, when I gave a talk at TEDxOxford. It centred on the importance for founders of creating a source of long-term fuel and holding on to your passion throughout the startup journey. Through shared experiences of competing and coaching elite athletes in the sport of modern pentathlon (🏇🤺🏊‍♂️🏃‍♂️🔫), I discussed:
🤹 how high performers master multiple skills,
😱 facing up to imposter syndrome,
☠️ the threat of failure
💪 the power of an amazing team, and
🍀 harnessing the power of serendipity

So if the best learnings in life lie at the edge of your comfort zone - this was right up there! I am grateful for the experience and join so many fascinating speakers.
