As a founder, there's a certain allure to landing big brands as early customers. It feels like a major validation that your product has mass appeal. Many founders, myself included, assume the natural path ‘in’ is through a pilot or proof of concept (PoC). Get your foot in, show them how fabulous you are and boom - banging the door down for more, am I right?

Openly autistic entrepreneurs often face both admiration and discrimination, with their traits being heralded simultaneously as both “superpowers” and their “Achilles’ heel”.

We’ve arguably created the most rivalled ecosystem on this side of the Atlantic, but the underutilisation of our resources means there is a real risk of losing that status.

Positive relationships are at the core of any successful company. However, unlike business-to-consumer (B2C) interactions, business-to-business (B2B) customer relationships can have far more depth and impact because they are truly partnerships. And when these relationships are successful, the benefits flow outward and improve the reputation and standing of the entire company.
