This episode, we are joined by Andy Ayim MBE, a serial founder and Angel Investor who is known for his human centered approach to business. Over a decade ago, Andy cofounded Mixtape Madness, a proudly bootstrapped 7 figure business. When he left day to day operations there, he dove into Product Management with high growth startups such as WorldFirst, acquired for $700m by Ant Financial; and Series C startup Zilch where he was Head of Product Management. In 2018 he took his next leap, to become Managing Director at US based VC firm, Backstage Capital where he raised over $2.5M to deploy into underrepresented founders.As you'll hear, improving equity in the startup ecosystem has been a huge driver for Andy, and led to his next startup, The Angel Investing School, a company on a mission to train the next generation of angel investors, including those who feel excluded by the current system, or haven't seen typically  themselves represented among angels. Additionally, Andy supports startups, scaleups and corporates as an advisor; this is someone who knows what it takes to grow a company. Andy's impact has seen him get voted as one on the top 10 BAME Leaders in Tech in the FT, as well as being awarded an MBE for his services to diversity in tech.Andy has also been one of our biggest supporters at IfWeRaise from the very early days, in fact even before I met my co-founder, and is now one of our Board Advisers, so it was extra special having him on the show.In this episode, we discuss:Andy's personal user guide as his intro into the world of entrepreneurship (and why we probably all need one)Why Andy created Angel Investing School and how it's evolvingThe importance of building social capital and a personal brand as a founderWhy fundraising isn't always the best optionWhat Andy looks for in founders from an Angel's perspectiveThe importance of storytelling and how to nail itThe backwards relationship we have with failure in the UKLinks:Angel Investing School:https://angelinvestingschool.com/Andy's Personal User Guide:https://andyayim.com/my-personal-user-guide/Mixtape Madness:https://www.mixtapemadness.com/

This series, I'm sharing insights from my book Work/Life Flywheel.In this episode, I explain why we value making progress so highly, and how to help track yours.Chapter Summary:Developing a journaling habit helps provide unique levels of self-awareness and insight.Recording significant events and emotions in a tracker allows you to spot connections between patterns of behaviour and thinking.As we get older and responsibilities rack up, a sense that we have fewer options gets stronger, but reimagining work needn't be a binary choice – either continuing in the same job or quitting.The secret is finding the motivation to get started and then giving yourself credit for the progress you make on your journey.Your work doesn't need to change the world to be meaningful. It just needs to matter to you.Micro-journaling focuses your attention on the things that matter most and recognises your progress each day.LINKS:Book Ollie to speak with your teamOllie's LinkedInFuture Work/Life NewsletterWork/Life Flywheel: Harness the work revolution and reimagine your career without fear, is out now.

This series, I'm sharing insights from my book Work/Life Flywheel.In this episode, I discuss why networking remains critical to building your career and that it needn't be something you fear.Chapter Summary:Communities have never been more important.Finding your tribe creates tremendous collaboration and learning opportunities.It's essential to maintain relationships with your ‘weak ties' to develop a broader range of opportunities.Aspiring for reciprocity helps you identify your value and create inspiring possibilities with others.Formal communities provide support and guidance when changing careers or entering new industries.Preparing a financial runway gives you options when pivoting your career – many people aim for 6-months of flexibility.Technology facilitates new ways of nurturing relationships and enabling your network to become a committed community of supporters.LINKS:Book Ollie to speak with your teamOllie's LinkedInFuture Work/Life NewsletterWork/Life Flywheel: Harness the work revolution and reimagine your career without fear, is out now.

In this episode: We are talking to Andy Ayim who is an entrepreneur, investor and an expert angel being the founder of the Angel Investing School. He is coaching founders to help them achieve product market fit and is a leading voice for integrating diversity and inclusion into portfolios of investors. He has invested in over 17 startups and also received the Order of the British Empire for his work in this field. He is based in London, UK. We talk about: The long-term mindset of investors, how to tell the story to connect with and convince investors, how founders with a real understanding of the problem they are solving for have an edge, why founders need to do their own due diligence of investors….and lots more. Want to become a business angel? Join the Angel Investing School and get 10% off with the discount code EdTech10. Outtakes: There is a massive long tail opportunity for educating the majority of the world with these micro courses, cohort based courses and the like. The founder should understand their story. What is your origin story? Why are you well suited to solve this problem? Who are the customers that you serve? Can you share stories about your customers and how you alleviate a pain point with the problems that you're solving for them? The same way the angels are doing due diligence on you and referencing you, you should be doing due diligence on your angels and referencing them because this is a long-term partnership and relationship you're about to form. I always try and position myself as that core and that person to speak to when the metrics aren't looking as good, when the things aren't trending upwards, when you need to have honest conversations where you wanna sense check stuff before talking to the rest of the investors.

“So many people are suffering from a lack of knowing who they are and what their worth is, so they downplay and restrict it to a job role.”Welcome back to 40 Minute Mentor, and a brand new series… Kicking off Series 10, we're joined by one of the most requested guests on the podcast - the brilliant Andy Ayim, MBE. You may have come across Andy through his DE&I work in tech, or his angel investing training programs at the Angel Investing School, which empowered over 350 new angels. Andy has also invested in over 17 Startups himself, including some of which have been featured on this podcast, such as Patch and Unplugged. In today's episode, we unpack his own journey to entrepreneurship and demystify angel investing once and for all: ➡️ Shaking off imposter syndrome and backing yourself [04:09] ➡️ How growing up in a multicultural melting pot shaped his path [06:34] ➡️ His path to starting the Angel Investing School [10:24] ➡️ Making angel investing more accessible [14:09]➡️ Who the Angel Investing School is for [16:37]➡️ The biggest driver of wealth creation and beginning your journey in investing [20:02]➡️ Andy's biggest investment mistake [21:39] ➡️ Angel syndicates and investing with as little as 1k [24:30]➡️ Assessing pitches and controlling your risk [28:31]➡️ Choosing between Angel or VC investment as a Founder [33:24]➡️ Receiving an MBE and driving DE&I in the industry [38:07]➡️ Fundraising advice and common Founder mistakes [41:41]➡️ Audience Questions: Untapped opportunities and emerging trends [44:06] ⛳ Helpful links:➡️ Connect with Andy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyayim/➡️ Sign up to the Angel Investing School: https://angelinvestingschool.com/   

“I don't need to write it down because I'll remember” is hopelessly naive. Sorry if that stung, but it's true. You need to write things down, as Andy Ayim MBE learned when he started his digital journal.  He's a father, husband, creator, thinker, investor, and founder of The Angel Investing School. He has invested in over 17 gap-closing startups. And he would be completely lost without what he calls his “Tracker” - a digital journal he keeps in Notion. In fact, he believes his Tracker is so crucial, that he considers it DIY coaching and counseling too. So let's dive into why YOU need to keep a digital journal, and how to make it happen. Plus, in the PRO show, we talk about investing, single-vs-multi-focus, and how Andy invented Spotify, and I invented Facebook…Top Takeaways “You're never really failing if you learn from it.” Your digital journal is like the “Google Analytics of your life.” You can keep track of what you do, how do feel, and lots of other data points to help you learn. This can also be an eternal source of content. If you're logging books, thoughts, and ideas, you can reference your digital journal when you're feeling stuck to look for inspiration.  Get started the way that works best for you. Andy started with a Google Doc before moving to Notion when he understood what he needed.
