Momentum Ventures

No one ever said that starting a new business is as easy as eating your favorite pie. Brainstorming ideas to make it unique and keeping it healthy is another challenge; especially if you’re working on a business that belongs to a trade where things seemingly rise and fall like the tides. Many surveys have stated that about starting a new business–especially in the technology space, that 90 percent of new startups will inevitably fail, leaving a trail of lost capital, damaged careers and lending a little support for the current venture capital business model. The blame of course doesn’t entirely belong on the venture capital firms, as entrepreneurial space is remarkably perilous. Starting a new business has its ups and downs, its own hindrances and struggles and you as an entrepreneur need help; and this is where Matt Keezer, along with Momentum Ventures; a venture capital that is doing its part to put this trends and rates to rest, comes to give you a hand.

The idea of this challenge is to recruit new leadership talent for the company. And as for Matt Keezer, who was asked about the kinds of qualities that he is looking for in the applicants; answered that he only focuses on two things: people who constantly drive to hustle and get things done, and are trustworthy. It’s a simple trait that can lead to one’s success. Matt Keezer has onced said: “There is no perfect applicant who can code, and plan and write and market a product, just demonstrate that you are an expert in your field who can build and motivate a team around themselves to achieve a goal.”

Focusing on your own expertise and making sure that your team is learning and motivated by it ensures a team will achieve any goal. It’s a win win situation that helps both the leader and his or her subordinates learn and achieve knowledge that makes a difference between making or breaking a company or project.
