So, you think you
                                   want to be an
                                    entrepreneur.

                                       Really?

                                     Gustaf Brandberg
                                      Angel Investor


Gullspång is a family owned,
entrepreneur friendly angel

No. 1
Would you do
it for free?
Be prepared
for a marathon.
No. 2
Do you really,
really care?

Get a mission.

”   Improve the
    world through
    entrepreneurship.
No. 3
Would anyone
else care?
Make a low cost market
test of your idea.
Fail early. Try again.
No. 4

Can you avoid the
Big Mac fallacy?
Don’t challenge McDonalds just
because your No. 3
              hamburgers taste
better than a Big Mac.
No. 5
CAN YOU

THINK



          ENOUGH?
No. 6


                                  stay
    How
                can
                            you



        clear
                                  the
                       of




                                         You are here
   big
                      animals       ?
No. 7

Why would your
customers love you?
Your brand is not about you.
It’s about your customers’ self
perception. Niche thyself.
No. 8
Will you welcome
setbacks?
Be stubborn on vision.
Be flexible on details.
Hate to fail, but don’t fear it.

  ”No plan of operations
  survives the first encounter
  with the enemy.”

  -- Helmuth von Moltke the Elder
So, why?
                                      Because it’s
                                      worth it.


                                      Thanks!
