Las Olas Venture Capital’s Post

This morning, we hosted our second Private Equity event of the year, Rethinking Exit Readiness for 2025, at The Orchard in London. We were pleased to welcome over 50 leaders from across our ecosystem who joined us for a dynamic networking breakfast and panel discussion.   We covered a lot of ground, exploring insightful topics such as navigating economic volatility, preparing B and C assets for successful exits, and the importance of building an exit-ready mindset early. From leadership challenges to the evolving PE playbook, the conversation was both practical and forward-thinking.   A special thank you to everyone who joined us on this snowy London morning and to our panel — Gina O'Reilly, Daniel Fugmann, Dominic Gallello, and Victoria Wood — for bringing their expertise to the table, sparking insightful conversations, and leading discussions on these critical topics. For those unable to join us, we will be releasing in depth insights from this events in the coming weeks and for those interested in learning more about the Renovata & Company Platform event program, contact Julia Barber. #privateequity #leadership #insights #networking

We have waited all year… Think Tank 2024 is finally here! In this video, I share the three intentions of the Think Tank. If this message resonates with you, Nicole Will and I hope you’ll consider joining us for a future event. Things are really going to level up for this this year, and this year’s cohort of 50 amazing Head + Heart leaders from around our industry are gathering to: 1. Work on small group projects 2. Develop leadership skills 3. Deepen relationships One thing I find very unique about our group is that it’s a mix of people who are paying 100% of their own way here as well as those who have been sponsored by their organizations to attend. I think this is extraordinary. Think about what this means. An event seen as both a great ROI personally as well as professionally. We couldn’t be more proud to be this type of draw for people and organizations who believe in personal development, goodwill, and having conversations of consequence. Change happens from one main starting point: ACTION. Think Tank 2024 is starting Sunday, Dec. 8 in Austin! 💜

Part of curing your culture requires implementing the best systems and processes to make sure YOU are running your business so your BUSINESS doesn’t end up running you and your team. I recently had the opportunity to speak to a group of business owners on the power of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS Worldwide) at YPO Pittsburgh, a global leadership community of extraordinary chief executives and leaders growing stronger together to improve lives and businesses in Pittsburgh. Here’s what one of the executives in attendance had to say! "As YPO Pittsburgh Learning Officer and CEO of USA Staffing Solutions, I was impressed by Tim Tannert, ACC, the headline resource for our recent YPO Event focusing on EOS Traction. His experience in building strong, disciplined organizations was evident. He provided actionable strategies, effectively addressing our business pain points. Tim imparted valuable insights and laid the foundation for EOS among attendees. I highly recommend Tim's guidance for leaders seeking to enhance their company's performance with EOS.” Josh Roberts Learning Officer, YPO CEO & President, USA Talent Solutions - Field Services | Professional | Commercial EOS® is a complete set of simple concepts and practical tools that have helped thousands of entrepreneurs get what they want from their businesses.
