Vanessa Brown+FollowFounders Can Keep More of Their Startup Pie 🍰Good news for Indian startup founders! SEBI just made it easier for them to keep their employee stock options (ESOPs) when taking their company public. Before, founders had to give up these perks at IPO time, but now, as long as the ESOPs are at least a year old, they can hold on to them. This means more reward for building something from scratch. Plus, moving your startup back to India just got less complicated. All in all, it’s a win for anyone dreaming of ringing the stock market bell! #Startups #IPOHacks #MoneyMoves #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup50Share

Susan Moreno+FollowWhy Northvolt's $15B Flop Is a Wake-Up CallHeard about Northvolt's $15 billion belly flop? The EV battery maker tried to do everything in-house and ended up biting off more than it could chew. Meanwhile, Redwood Materials (run by a Tesla cofounder) is playing it smart: instead of making batteries, they're selling the most valuable battery ingredients to everyone—think of it as being the Switzerland of battery parts. The takeaway? Sometimes, sticking to what you do best (and selling to everyone) beats trying to own the whole pie. #EVs #Startups #MoneyMoves #Cleantech #BusinessLessons #Business131Share
