Mistakes early-stage companies do in data and how to avoid them

In the 8th episode of Data unplugged, we have Tim Hiebenthal from Project A, a VC that invests in digital companies and also has their own consulting unit, which adivses those start-ups. Tim talked us through some common mistakes he saw early-stage start-ups make and how to prevent them.

We discussed different topics such as differences between sectors and business models, at what stage you need what data stack, the importance of keeping things simple in the beginning and when it is time to move to a more complex data environment. We also discussed costs, what hires should be the first ones in the data team and more!
