She is very active in sourcing the best deals out there when it comes to tech startups and working together with investors and companies to find the right fit.
Team-Building Experience
Meshkurti believes that having the right team by your side for any startup is very significant. A team together must realise if they don’t have the right product-market fit and understand the direction a change in the trajectory is needed.
When asked about her experience of crisis with her team she states that, “When issues arise and the going gets tough, you will notice the change in your team and a decrease in morale. This is where the power of humour comes in. Create a joyful environment, even when stress and pressure are high. Always find something to laugh about as a team.
