Hi - thanks for visiting me here on Minnect!! It’s me - The Biz Doc - I am an expert on startups, leadership, strategy, fundraising, management, and operations. You may have seen me on the PBD Podcast or doing case studies on the Biz Doc Podcast on Valuetainment (YouTube / Spotify). How I Can Help: Ask me about business / startup topics or something else. Your success is my goal! - I can help you get you from where you are today to where you want to be. - As a seasoned operator that has founded, grown and sold multiple companies (and endured challenges and hardships along the way), odds are that I have been exactly where you are today - and have felt every bit of the stress, fatigue, exhilaration, defeat, and anxiety that you might be experiencing now. - I can look you in the eye and say I understand because I DO understand because I have been there… and found a way to succeed. Why schedule a 1:1 Video call with me? 1. You are a founder that is "way too busy" and feels trapped. Maybe your team is not "ready" or "under-powered" and you wish they could do more or have been hoping they would step-up. You want and need a staff plan that fixes this and enables the business to pick up speed while taking some burden off you. 2. You have a sensitive situation with a key member of your team and want to process a plan. You are cautious about talking to anybody internally (perhaps it’s not appropriate or it might leak and cause issues) but want to bounce some ideas and strategize with someone who understands your situation. 3. You have a general business issue that you want to process and test some ideas. Maybe it’s re-organizing your team or considering an acquisition or bringing on a partner. We can have these type of conversations in private, so it will not leak to your team or spook them. 4. You want to optimize your presentation deck and test your story as you engage in fundraising. I understand how venture capitalists, private investors, and private equity firms think. I can give you feedback and help optimize your story so that you’re ready to approach investors with confidence 5. You want to be prepared for an eventual sale that brings you the top price. How do you work with an investment banker to present your company and run the process? How do you structure your team today so you are ready for the sale in the future. What things will the buyers be looking for and how do they prioritize them? How do you put a value on the business in the first place? How do you sell the business and not end up handcuffed to the buyer as a perpetual consultant? I have successfully navigated this jungle, and can help you build a plan to succeed. Something else? Ask me a quick text question and we can see if a 1:1 video call makes sense. Let’s take you and your business higher. I promise to leave you better than I found you! Tom Ellsworth - The Biz Doc

A: That depends, but sadly, probably not. It’s an intensive process and I am very selective about who I make this level of commitment to.

Hello. I am originally from India, but for the last three years I have been living in France. Before coming to France, I was working as a software developer in the telecom industry. Before that, I pursued engineering in the field of Electronics & Communication Engineering. In short, I am a nerd for Technology. I came to France as an International student in one of the most known Business Schools here, EDHEC Business School in the city of Lille, some 250 kms North of Paris close to French Belgian borders. Today, I am pursuing entrepreneurship building my own technology startup from scratch. My startup project is selected for incubation in La French Tech incubator and also got selected for a scholarship program. Well that is about me. Now coming to the main point.. What do I offer as a Mentor on Minnect?? First things first, my expertise comes from my own experiences in this domain. I am a foreign entrepreneur working and surving in France. When I first came to France, I didn't know anything, Neither the language nor the culture. But over the years due to my own personal interest, I learnt the languages and culture and fell in love with it. I want to rest in France and continue with my entrepreneurial venture. So as an international Entrepreneur if you would like to start a Technology startup in France, you need to know what options you have and what are the Do's and Don'ts you need to follow. My expertise is in the following criteria where my advice and network might help you a lot. 1. I will advice you to have an interest in French language and culture and to learn them as quick as possible. I can give you some very crucial advices. Without French, you could survive in France, that's not a problem, but in order to thrive you need to at least put some effort. 2. Legal and Administrative Process for International Entrepreneurs in France. Whether you know or not, France is a beareaucratic nightmare. You need to know of the options that you have to get the legal rights to pursue business. A legal person will charge you a lot of money for the things that I am going to tell you. 😏. You may or may not have to spend some money later, but I guess some initial recommendations from an already established international entrepreneur might help you a lot. 3. My best and strong suit. Technology. I am a tech expert currently building my own hardware project. You might have known that Europe has a technology deficit. Well that is a very simple understatement. If you wish to build a technology, software or hardware project, I can support you in initial prototype development, sourcing materials, discrete electronics components, getting the programming language skills et cetera. Technology inspires me. Most of my project is open sourced and I regularly write a blog updating my project. So you can know about my project through the link I shared. So I hope to see you soon. Good luck. Mayukh Chakraborty, Founder, Product Developer, Lil'Génie
