Shopping is viewed as a recreational activity, rather than a plain functional need to make purchases. This aspect of pleasure is firmly linked with fashion purchases, which represent much more than the ability to purchase clothing. This is partly due to the efforts made by apparel companies in recent years to improve the buying experience and place the customer at the center of their retail apparel marketing strategy.

Eighteen months have passed since I wrote about Version One’s areas of interest in climate and energy … it’s hard to believe how quickly time flies. Since then, the space has only heated up (bad pun, I know) with more startups building and even more venture capital available to scale them. Now the newly passed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers many new incentives that may decrease the cost of climate tech by 40% – more room for innovation!

“The Centaur is a business that reaches $100 million of annual recurring revenue (ARR)—a rare breed of cloud business, part of an elite subset of the growing unicorn herd.” Bessemer. Today there are over 1,000 unicorns globally. But becoming a Unicorn, or receiving a billion dollar valuation is no longer an indication of growth. It’s more of a reflection of investor appetite and belief in future growth potential.

Most aspiring entrepreneurs are convinced that the strength of their initial idea somehow defines them as a leader, as well as the success potential of their derivative business. In my experience, it’s a lot more complicated than that. It takes leadership ability, as well as a good idea, to make a successful entrepreneur, and great leaders evolve from key leadership decisions along the way.
