When startups bring their innovative products to market, they often face a battle securing corporate contracts, of course unless they are backed by well-known venture capital firms or industry giants.
📌 Why? Because procurement professionals see startups as risky and unproven. Meanwhile, startups see procurement as. a slow and bureaucratic ( based on the feedbacks).
These two worlds operate on different principles:
🔹 Procurement: Focuses on risk mitigation, structured processes, and long-term supplier relationships.
🔹 Startups: Operate with agility, disruptive ideas, and a drive to scale quickly.
And these principles disconnect them. As a result, startups don`t grow, and corporations are not innovated faster.
But what if startups could understand procurement better—and position themselves as credible, reliable partners?
📖 That’s exactly what my new book, “Winning Corporate Contracts: A Startup’s Procurement Guide”, is all about. It’s a roadmap for startups to understand the corporate procurement process, win contracts, and build long-term, scalable partnerships.
