About Rui Bom
Resident mentor at 500 Startups
💀 Tough to get customers and investors? I know why | Startup mentor @500Startups | 2x Founder | Research • Sales • Fundraising _ I speak to fearless founders every day. They all struggle with the same 5 things:
ººº FUNDRAISING Raising funds is really hard and the survival of the company often depends on it.
ººº SALES Low email and call conversion rates make it incredibly difficult to reach any significant revenue goals.
ººº TEAM PRODUCTIVITY Difficulty in managing and communicating with people spread across time zones and geographies.
ººº PRODUCT-MARKET FIT Uncertainty about the market fit of the product, too many pivots and little results.
ººº FOCUS Drowned in work, grappling with priorities and lack of focus, feeling overwhelm and stress.
As a founder you need to fix these. For a chance at crossing the Valley of Death.

“Rui shared some wonderful insights about the startup landscape that made us realize that we needed to go back to the drawing board before taking next steps in our journey. Even though we kept the conversation general, he knew exactly what would be of immediate help - he shared some relevant examples and gave us very detailed figures to apply and move forward with.”
“Rui is a world-class mentor. He went above and beyond by sharing with me valuable frameworks and making sure that my questions were clearly answered. The learnings and value per minute I got throughout the session exceeded my expectations. What I liked the most is that the frameworks are based on actionable steps that have been tried and tested not just abstract suggestions.”
