TEAM BUILDING

One of the most difficult problems to solve for any startup is .".How to build a team with the expertise needed without having the resources to fund "experts ".
The following experience may give you some ideas to help solve your "skill problem "

I read an article in a local Journal ..relating the retirement of a local headteacher...It included
words like "..looking for new challenges..possible voluntary work, interest and experience of teaching in Pakistan....."
I underlined all the words relating to her desires for the future...they matched almost exactly
the type of person i needed to help take testmyidea to the next value level.. ( keep in mind investors are monitoring TMI and at some point an investor will see that it is a viable proposition and will offer to fund )
I requested a meeting at which we discussed her future plans and how TMI could help her realise them...At a subsequent meeting Hilary said: "I will come on board !"

We are delighted ..we will be inporting images of team members soon ..this is very important as
quality team members are the key to getting funding and increasing the chances of success..and
images give a stronger indication than words that you really have added value to your startup

Our next step in team recruitment is to find a webmaster ( Our founder techie is working for another company... )

Do let us know what your problem is in formulating your startup..if we have overcome the same problem ..our experience may help you.......
