Welcome back to the Great North Ventures newsletter! This month we have advice for founders featured in our latest podcast episode.

In the latest episode of “Execution is King” we feature the best advice for founders, recorded live at our 2021 Annual Event.

What is the Great North Annual Event? Every year, we gather investors, founders, and ecosystem builders together for networking and progress updates.

This year, we captured advice from our stakeholders, people who have proven they can execute.
