The Importance of Terminology

Startup?

Startups are defined as ventures that are in the product development phase and until the phase of the market entry. Pre- or post revenue.

Scaleup?

Ventures that have successfully entered the market (revenues are greater than expenses) are referred to as scaleups. Break-even and positive EBITDA are now being targeted.

Young Established Company?

"Young Established Companies" are companies that regularly generate annually profit (EBITDA). Scaling the company and expansion are now the next agenda.

Due Diligence Ready?

"Due Diligence Ready" is a state in which a venture has already obtained and prepared all necessary information to pass successful an investor due diligence.

Venture?

Startups, scaleups and young established companies are referred to as ventures. These projects are mostly characterized by uncertainty and the risk of failure.

Teaser Pitch?

A teaser pitch should provide potential investors the necessary insights and attract their attention. It should not exceed a reading time of 2 minutes.

I got the chance to start a collaboration with Thommy in 2014 when i joined BBV Vietnam. I would say for us was the respectfully collabortion allways a great pleasure and for the future, I will enjoy our wonderful friendship. Thommy is a very professional person in all business and (intercultural) collaboration aspects, my own learning profit is big, he guides me and my team always save through all project bottlenecks. I appreciated that he is sharing his knowledge on a simple and comprehensible way, personally I learned a lot from his experiences and achievements. I recommend Thommy's consultancy and assistance for sophisticated project matters to achieve speed and effectiveness. Now... explore by yourself, you will find an excellent guidance, especially for your early stage of projects or a startup. Last but not least ... whenever you will visit him on his Ho Chi Minh City office, sure you will undergo a great hospitality, potentially a city exploring with his Motorbike and enjoy Vietnamese food which he loves so much...

Thommy is one of the most valuable people I have ever worked with. His hands-on strategy to social business development, agile project management, business development, design thinking and powerful personality gained him the respect of the staff. His performance at up4distribution GmbH was golden. Working at up4distribution GmbH is most challenging, and he battled the impediments. I would like to think about everything I learned about startups, business architecture, startup acceleration I learned from him. He learns quickly and I would have no doubt in working with Thommy once again in the future.
