incidents can be serious to help founders build their company, but not all events are created equal. Founders shouldn’t feel like they have to waste their time finding diamonds in the rough. But there are ways to decide ahead of time whether an event will be worthwhile or not.
Last week, we published the results of a survey that asked founders if they would change how much time they spent at founder-focused events. More than 50 founders responded and reported that there was no consensus on how many events it helped them attend. What was clear, however, is that many founders have found ways to not waste their time.
Mohammed Alkaf Al Hashmi, co-founder of Islamic Coin, said founders should have a strategy for how many events they want to participate in over a certain period of time. This essentially forces them to look critically at what events can provide value. He said he only attends one event per quarter.
“Participating in four well-planned events per year, one per quarter, is much more beneficial than attending multiple low-impact events,” he told TechCrunch+. “At these four events, we will sponsor, set up booths, and participate in talks, panels, and speeches. This is much better than making yourself look weak in many events.”
