                  Harry Gestetner, 25, is one of the new sleep-better generation. Three years ago, he admits to “working like a dog and neglecting every other area of my life” creating his company Fanfix. The company scaled fast and was acquired by SuperOrdinary for $100 million plus, but it came with another price: Gestetner developed vertigo severe enough to take him out of work for a long stretch.

                  “I was forced to learn the hard way that as a founder I needed to start taking my performance seriously and thinking of myself like an athlete,” he says. “Athletes do a lot of work off the court so that they can perform when they’re on the court. Whereas as founders, we tend to only think about being on the court.”

                  My first step was entering the idea into startup competitions at my university. Across three competitions, I was able to win $26,500 in equity-free grant funding. I then used that money to hire an initial footwear development team (ex-Nike, Ariat and Keen pros) to bring the design to life. Once we had the initial prototype, I was able to use it to pitch for angel investment, ultimately raising $4.5 million to bring the product to life.

                   Are there any free or paid resources that have been especially helpful for you in starting and running this business?

                  <br/>
                  One of the best resources was building out our ecommerce website on Shopify. The tools, support and sophistication of resources available are top-notch — and accessible at great entry-level prices for the value. It makes building and launching an ecommerce brand easier than ever before, and it can scale with you from early days to a multi-million-dollar brand.

                   If you could go back in your business journey and change one process or approach, what would it be, and how do you wish you’d done it differently?

                  I truly wish that I had not spent as much time as I did playing the VC-fundraising game. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the modern VC landscape does not work well for consumer product brands. I wasted a lot of energy and time that would have been better spent marketing and operating my business (ultimately, making the brand more money than I have ever successfully raised).

                                One of the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to fill every block on their calendar with meetings. Instead, it’s important to intentionally leave slack in your schedule to fill with
                                <a data-hs-link-id="0" data-hs-link-id-v2="TXs+t/pI" style="color:#2563eb" target="_blank">
                                 high-value objectives
                                </a>
                                . A good rule of thumb is to limit your planned time to 80% each week. The remaining free time can be distributed to fit your working style by leaving an entire day each week free or breaking it up into 90 minutes each day.
                               </p>

                                The critical part of this strategy is to make sure you don’t waste this valuable time just because nothing urgent happens that week. If you end up not solving a crisis, this time allows you to stay ahead of building your long-term roadmap, reflecting on your company culture or reviewing your financials.
