Before a fire destroyed the office], but now it is more use of digital channels like slack.” Informant #10 (Start-up co-founder): “I learn a lot from the people that started the previous concept before mine” I have probably talked to the co-founder of [Note. Another start-up] once every other week if not every week about all the little things.” Informant #21 (VB management): “Every month we meet and discuss learnings, to make it quicker, where to cut costs etc. We don’t build an MVP too early any longer. We wait until we know more before we build it. The next entrepreneur can use that learning. The playbook is a memory of all mistakes that have been done before and is passed on to the next one. Every time you validate a concept, your playbook becomes stronger”

We could borrow a lot of what [another start-up in the venture builder portfolio] had done before” Informant #8 (VB management): “We try to make a culture where everyone can help each other, to get the most out of the system. We also have data on best practice and learnings, so everything we have learned from before, is available for new founders” Informant #3 (Start-up co-founder): “They had a dedicated mentor for each of the teams trying to build a company. And the mentor we had; he then went on to invest in our company as well” Informant #7 (VB management): So, the sharing among companies and across different industries are extremely important. And it is also a mini…it is a risk mitigator as long as we keep on challenging each other”
