I heard Rabea say:
Find complimentary talent
Commit to never fundraise again at a certain point in your journey
Know your big "WHY" when you're starting a business
Be disciplined by committing upfront to the investment you're willing to put into a new idea
Focus on being focused before pursuing new opportunities
Use the manager 360 as the leading indicator a team's sustainability or business
CEO / Founders need to find inspiration in different areas and bring that back to the business
