A Message From Our Founder
Hi, I’m Paul, the founder of Startup Hive and I know first hand just how daunting running a business can be.
Over the past 14 years, I’ve started, grown and sold several successful businesses, though I’ve had my share of failures too.
I started my first business in 2009 but it felt like I spent the first year or so just learning how to run a business instead of actually working on growing it!
Sure, most of the information was available online, but finding it, making sense of it, and then applying what I learned just took up so much of my time.
Yet, time is a luxury you don’t really have as a business owner. So, I created Startup Hive to help solve this problem.
By taking you through a clear, organised step-by-step process, you can quickly get all the most important foundations in place and focus on what you do best – making your business successful.
I’ve made the plan and establish phases completely free to access so you can bring your ideas to life, no matter what your financial situation. Though, of course, I hope you’ll find it useful enough to become a member of our exclusive Lonely Middle Club in the future.
Thanks for giving us a try and good luck with your endeavours.
