Riaan Ngesikhathi sokuqala ngihlangana no-Sushant Shankar ngo-2019, wayengusosayensi wedatha ozethembayo owayebonakala enesibindi ngezinye izikhathi mayelana nezibalo zabathengi kanye ne-AdTech ayegxile kuyo. Inkampani ye-MedTech enodokotela wenhliziyo wase-Stanford, umuntu angamazi ahlangana naye ngengosi yokuxhumana yochwepheshe.
UDkt. Rajesh Dash, uzakwethu kaSushant ebhizinisini, uneminyaka engamashumi amabili ubudala. Njengochwepheshe bezokwelapha, ulwazi lwakhe lwezobuchwepheshe alukaze ludlule kulokho okuke kwabikwa ezindabeni.
‘Pho nisebenza kanjani nobabili?’ Ngabuza, ngilindele ukuzwa idrama. Impendulo kaSushant yayilula: ukubekezela. Yena noDkt. Dash basungula isisekelo esifanayo sokwakha inkampani ndawonye kusukela ekuqaleni futhi banikezana izimpendulo njalo ngokuthi ibhizinisi lingathuthukiswa kanjani.
Akuyona isayensi ye-rocket, u-Sushant washo okuyiqiniso njengoba amehlo akhe efuna amathuba okuqinisekisa ukukhathazeka kwami okubonakala sengathi.
Njengoba nje abasunguli belwela ukwakha ama-unicorn, bavame ukufuna eyodwa ngokungazi. Ngokunjalo, abasunguli abahlanganyeli nabo abatholakali, abayivelakancane, futhi banomlingo – uma i-alchemy efanele isethelwe ukuguqula amanzi abe yi-elixir.
Kodwa emhlabeni wanamuhla, lapho izikhala zokusebenzisana nama-incubator okuqalisa zigcwele, kulula kunangaphambili ukuswayiphela kwesokunxele noma kwesokudla ukuze uthole umlingani ongase abe umlingani. Ngakho-ke, yini edingekayo ukuze ube “olungile”?
Ngixoxe nabanye osomabhizinisi bendawo abaye bazulazula endaweni yokuqala nemindeni yabo, abangani, kanye nabantu engibaziyo ukuze ngithole isoso eliyimfihlo lobambiswano oluyimpumelelo. Ekugcineni, yiziphi ezinye zezinqubo ezithandwa abasunguli futhi kufanele uthande kanjani umlingani webhizinisi wamaphupho akho?
Themba
Njengendlela iningi lethu elithemba ngayo ikhofi lizosiza ukuqalisa usuku lwethu, abasunguli bafuna ukusebenzisana nabantu abangathembela kubo – yingakho abanye babo bengazange badikibale ukusebenza nabantu abasondelene nabo.
“Njengoba sobathathu singabangane besikhathi eside, ubudlelwano bethu bokusebenza baqala ngesisekelo esiqinile sokwethembana,” kusho uGerald Tan, owasungula indondo yokuqala yokulungiselela ukudla. I-YummyBrosnabangane bakhe basejimini uBen Leu no-Anson Lim.
Akuthathanga okuningi ukuthi abathathu baqonde amandla, ubuthakathaka, kanye nokuthambekela okuhlobene nomsebenzi. Ubungane besikhathi eside babafaka umuzwa wobuzalwane, owabashukumisela ukuba baziphendulele komunye nomunye.
UGerald ukholelwa ukuthi yilokhu okwenza ibhizinisi lakhe lisebenze, okulivumela ukuthi likhule ngokushesha esikhathini esifushane.
“Asizange sichithe isikhathi esiningi silungisa udaba lwezomthetho. Sobathathu simane sithembe ukuthi sinenhloso efanayo yokuqhuba ibhizinisi ndawonye,” engeza.
Ku-Lydon Ong, waqala i-manscaping brand BOVEM noNorman Teo lapho bobabili bengabafundi bebhizinisi abenza unyaka wokugcina eSingapore Management University. Uchaze ukuthi ukwethenjwa akumele kunamathele kubantu abanomqondo ofanayo abavumelana ngayo yonke into – kungaba ngokugqoka amasokisi anezimbadada, noma umbono wokuthi ama-durians abukhali.
“Kodwa umsunguli kanye nomsunguli wokubambisana badinga ukwabelana ngombono namagugu futhi bathembane ukuze babe sekhasini elifanayo uma kuziwa ezintweni ezithile ezibalulekile,” esho.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uGerald waxwayisa ngengozi yokucabanga kweqembu.
Kwesinye isikhathi, sithambekele ekuthandeni ngokweqile futhi sicheme nemibono yomunye uma kuziwa ekwenzeni izinqumo zebhizinisi. Lokhu kusivimbela ekuboneni izinto ngendlela efanele. Ukwethembana okuyimpumputhe akukona ukwethenjwa. Yinto esizama ukuyigwema. Izidingo zenkampani nezamakhasimende zizohlala ziza kuqala.

Vula ukuxhumana
Kuyiqiniso ukuthi abasunguli abagcini nje ngokugxila ekuthembeni bodwa. Kunesivumelwano esithulile sokuthi ukuxhumana okuvulelekayo kufanele kube “yisifundo esikhulu” kanjani lapha. “Njengoba isisho sisho, ukuxhumana kubalulekile,” uLydon wanikela.
Bekanye noNorman, bazokwenza umgomo wokuqeda izingxoxo ezithembekile lapho imibono nemibono yabo ingahambelani. Bangase bangaboni ngaso linye ngaso sonke isikhathi kodwa bazofinyelela isinqumo esisebenza ngokwentshisekelo yenkampani.
Akulula. Nokho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ixoxa ngendlela engcono kakhulu yokumaketha umkhiqizo omusha noma ukuthi i-pizza ithokozelwa kanjani kangcono – ngophayinaphu noma ngaphandle kwawo – sizothola isikhathi sokulalelana. Lokho sikuthole kuyinhlonipho.

UJane Peh, owasungula i-ejensi yokumaketha izilwane ezifuywayo Pawjourr nomyeni wakhe, babenemizwa efanayo.
“Umsebenzi wumsebenzi. Kubalulekile ukungalethi imizwa esithombeni bese ngizama ukuhluza ngodaba oludingidwayo, yize kube nezikhathi (mhlawumbe zibe ziningi kakhulu) lapho ngivele ngifune ukumbhula ngomcamelo uma elele,” kusho yena. .
Ngaphandle kwamahlaya, uJane uthe uma esekwazile ukuthola ukulingana phakathi kokusebenza nokuphila, ubona inzuzo yokuba nomlingani wakhe wempilo njengomsunguli wakhe – umuntu ohlale emhlane.
U-Kayson Chan, osebenzisa ukudla okulula okumnandi, I-Aroma Trufflenabafowabo uKenny noJonathan, nabo babheka ukukhulumisana ngokukhululekile njengenzuzo ebhizinisini lomkhaya.
“Emkhayeni, siyanda indawo yezingxoxo eziqotho kanye nokuvezwa kwemibono eyahlukene, okuzuzisa kakhulu ukusebenza kwebhizinisi,” echaza. U-Kayson uthemba ukuthi amalungu omndeni angasebenza ngaphandle komthungo kakhudlwana ukuze izinkinga eziphuthumayo zixazululwe ngokushesha, okwenza ibhizinisi lingabi lula ekutholeni izinguquko ezingalindelekile.
Ngempela, sinokufinyelela komunye nomunye 24/7 ukukhuluma ngomsebenzi. Siyazwana ngokuyisisekelo nangokuvulelekayo futhi singaba nezingxoxo ezithembekile mayelana nezingozi, ikusasa, kanye nezinto ezingaxoxiswana njengalapho izinto zingahambi ngokohlelo.

Nakuba ukubeka izinto obala kubangela ukwethembeka, kuza nezindleko. “Isici sokulinganisela empilweni yobungane bethu saba nethonya elikhulu,” kukhala uGerald.
“Njalo lapho sihlangana ukuze sizivocavoce noma sidle, sihlala sizithola sikhuluma ngomsebenzi. Singase siphefumulele phezulu phakathi kwamasethi asindayo omshini wokunyathelisa amabhentshi futhi sisacabanga ngezinto ezintsha zemenyu noma izinyathelo zokuthuthukisa ulwazi lwamakhasimende. Ngamafuphi, kunjalo [tiring].”
Amakhono ahambisanayo
Noma kunjalo, ukuqhuba ibhizinisi ngezinye izikhathi, kungase kuzwe sengathi uhamba esiqhingini esingenalutho.
UJennifer Widjaja akazange aqale I-Dabao njeibhizinisi lakhe lezenhlalakahle eliqondise ekwehliseni ukulahlwa kokudla, nomunye umsunguli.
Nakuba ayeyijabulele inkululeko yokusebenza ngesivinini sakhe kanye nazo zonke izinzuzo ezalandela, angathanda ukulekelelwa futhi akhulise ibhizinisi lakhe nabangane abanamakhono nemibono ehlukahlukene.
Kuleli nothi, uKayson ucaphune isifaniso sombhali waseMelika uJim Collins. Encwadini yakhe enesihloko esithi “Kuhle kuMkhulu“, U-Collins uthe “labo abakha izinhlangano ezinkulu baqinisekisa ukuthi banabantu abalungile ebhasini kanye nabantu abalungile ezihlalweni ezibalulekile ngaphambi kokuba bathole ukuthi bazoshayela kuphi ibhasi”.
Kwa-Aroma Truffle, lokhu kuhumusha ekwabeleni umzalwane ngamunye ukuthi angamele isigaba esithile. Umfowabo kaKayson omdala manje uphethe ukusebenza nezezimali, kanti umfowabo wesibili uphethe ukukhiqiza kanye ne-R&D.
Bakholelwa ukuthi ngokuhlukanisa izindima zabo, bathatha ubunikazi kanye nezibopho zezigaba zabo. Ngandlela thize, lokhu kuzonciphisa ukungezwani futhi kugweme ukusola.
Futhi, lo muzwa wekhono ohambisanayo wabiwa phakathi kwabanye abasunguli, okuhlanganisa no-Low Ser En, oqale inkundla yesipho sevidiyo yomuntu siqu, ThumelaJoynozakwabo wangaphambili u-LC.
Ngokusho kwakhe, uLC nguyena owamazisa ngomqondo wosomabhizinisi. Njengoba sebevele bebambisene kumaphrojekthi amancane enkampanini yabo yangaphambilini futhi beqonda ukuziphatha komsebenzi womunye nomunye, kulula nakakhulu ukuthi babelane ngezibopho ezinkulu njengeqembu.
“Ngiyeluleka ngokuqinile, ngenkathi ngifuna umsunguli osebenzisana naye, bheka umuntu onamakhono ahambisanayo nombono ohlanganyelwe,” kusho uLydon. “Ngasikhathi sinye, beka imingcele neziteshi zokuxhumana ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi ibhizinisi nobudlelwano bungathuthuka ngasikhathi sinye.”
Ukubeka imingcele
“Ngiye ngathola ukuthi ukusebenza nomngane kuvame ukwandisa isici esingokomzwelo sokungavumelani kwebhizinisi. Lolu hlobo lokungavumelani lunzima kakhulu ukukubamba futhi luvame ukuholela emiphumeleni engenangqondo. Yilapho sifunda khona ukubeka imingcele nokubeka eceleni ukuchema komuntu siqu.
– Gerald Tan, co-umsunguli YummyBros
Imingcele ifana nothango olwakhiwe kahle – igcina ibhizinisi lingaphakathi kanye nedrama engadingeki ngaphandle. Phela, ukuqhuba ibhizinisi nomuntu omaziyo kungase kufane nokuhamba entanjeni eqinile, ngakho ukubeka imingcele ethile kuzovimbela noma yikuphi ukuwa okungajwayelekile.
USer En uphinde wagcizelela ekubeni nozwelo. “Njengoba sihlukanisa izindaba zomsebenzi nezomuntu siqu, silalela ngokucophelela futhi sizame ukuqonda imibono yomunye nomunye,” kusho yena.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi kumele sinikane isikhathi nendawo yokuzwakalisa imizwa yabo mayelana nokungaboni ngaso linye noma isinqumo esizothathwa. Ukuze sikwazi ukubhekana, kunokuba sibambe ongezansi, noma yikuphi ukucasuka nokukhathazeka, okulimaza nempilo yethu yengqondo,” kwengeza uGerald.
Ukuzingela umlingani webhizinisi ofanele akulula
Sekukonke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umfokazi noma okuphambene nakho, ukuzingela komsunguli kungaba nzima, ikakhulukazi eSingapore lapho ukuba usomabhizinisi kungewona umsebenzi wemvelo abantu abangawukhetha.
“Inqwaba yabantu abafuna ukuqala amabhizinisi abo incane. I-pool incane kakhulu ngokuzama ukuthola umuntu onentshisekelo kulokho okwakhayo futhi ofanele ukusebenza ekuqaleni,” kuphawula uJane.
“Inqubo yokuthola umsunguli osebenzisana nayo ingadla isikhathi futhi ikhungathekise,” kusho uLydon. “Lokhu kungase kuphazamise amandla nezinsiza zakho, njengoba usumatasa nokwakha isiqalo sakho. Kodwa khumbula ukuthi ukuqhuba ibhizinisi uwedwa akungcono. Kufana nebhendi yomuntu oyedwa lapho kufanele ube ngumculi oholayo, oshaya isiginci noshaya izigubhu ngesikhathi esisodwa.”
“Eqinisweni, ishidi lami lokukopela elokuzibonakalisa njengomholi webhizinisi kuqala,” kusikisela uGerald. “Abantu balandela abaziyo ukuthi bayaphi futhi benzani. Ngokuba umholi, abangaba abasunguli bazo bazophoqeleka kakhudlwana ukuthi bajoyine futhi bakulandele ohambweni lwakho lwezamabhizinisi.”
