What are the things new startup leaders wouldn't expect to get wrong? Theo is the founder of Slinger, a VC-backed pre-seed tech startup that aims to make the CV redundant. He was also an early team member at KERB which became one of London's largest hospitality brands. Building multiple teams, but this time for his own VC-backed business, we sit down to reflect on what he'd do differently and the challenges that actually come with building such a business.

So, we chat about: - The philosophy of differing perceptions - Why you need to have a worst-case scenario plan - How to budget your time to avoid disappointment later - The best way to build your first team - How Theo sets an example to get the best out of his team, while still being himself - Having faith in yourself and being okay with not being in control- Why listening to our gut as leaders will get us further, faster, and how to do it - And more!
