Mentors are the secret sauce that every founder needs to help build and grow a business. In this episode, Matt Kunkel, the Co-founder and CEO of LogicGate, discusses the importance of mentors, the role they played in the growth of his business and how he’s showing up as a leader for his team today. Matt co-founded LogicGate, a Chicago based SaaS platform which operationalizes regulatory, risk, and compliance programs for organizations, just over 4 years ago and has quickly grown it to 120+ employees and raised $35 million.
Here are my three big takeaways from the conversation:
- Build a team of mentors, ones that can help advise on different aspects of your business, such as fundraising, culture, scaling, and operations.
- You must dedicate time each week to build these relationships; while some may grow organically, others require work.
- Leaders cannot communicate enough right now with their teams; be open, honest, empathetic, and transparent during these times of uncertainty.
