Hi there, I'm Sindre - a filmmaker and co-founder of Procubate, an accelerated business incubator guiding solo entrepreneurs through a 9-step process that guarantees business success.
My entrepreneurial journey hasn't been a walk in the park. From my early days, I dove headfirst into building businesses without a clear understanding of the business landscape. I had no other entrepreneur friends and no mentor. My only choice was to rely on trial and error.
Years after trial and error, I learnt my most invaluable lesson:
The REAL REASON why most entrepreneurs fail is not due to lack of hard work, passion or a good idea. Instead, it’s because they’re trying to do it all alone, not following a proven system which tells them exactly what to do and when, that they can easily execute on to build a successful business without stress or confusion.
Without any guidance or without following a proven and battle-tested approach, you unknowingly squander invaluable time and energy. The consequence? A perpetual state of bewilderment and stress as you grapple with the uncertainty of what steps to take next.
All the really good resources have come to me after years of first going through a bunch of resources that I realised were a waste of time. You can imagine how annoying that was, especially for someone who hates wasting time!
Because I had no reference to other materials, I didn’t know better. It was only years afterwards that I realised how generalised it was and just not helpful. There are many resources out there. The problem is knowing which resources are any good and also up to date.
Something that was so demoralising was that 12 months later, I would stumble over a brilliant resource made by a really experienced entrepreneur, telling me to do the exact opposite of what I had done. When I experienced this several times, I thought: “this is so stupid! This is such a waste of years! If I had known about this annoyingly brilliant course a year earlier, I could potentially have saved a whole year!”
I shaked things up and started meeting more entrepreneurs and likeminded people. That was an absolute game changer. I met people with the right tools, found mentors and received insights you can only get through people who you can talk to about your unique situation.
A few years ago, I co-founded duett.co.uk, a music tuition platform that doesn’t rip off tutors and students. I recently created a network of ambitious filmmakers. As part of this adventure, I hosted zoom calls where I interviewed high-profile people in the film industry. Within 4 weeks of starting this group, it grew to 50 people, and by the 7th week, I secured the first interviews with industry leaders including an Oscar-winning film director.
I also run an innovation mastermind where entrepreneurs and other smart, creative and ambitious people come together to innovate and disrupt industries.
Now, I’m in the middle of creating a documentary film about innovation. As part of this journey I’ve interviewed leaders in innovative industries, like the co-founder of Shazam, and Zina Cinker who has created Puzzle X - one of the world’s biggest innovation summits.
My journey has taught me invaluable lessons. I've been through the trenches, testing strategies, and learning from the successes and setbacks. This real-world experience has shaped my approach—practical, no-nonsense, and effective.
From this exhilarating journey, which encompassed both failures and successes, Procubate was born. Procubate is designed to be the mentor and guide I wish I had. A shortcut to the insights, tools, and strategies that can save solo entrepreneurs time and help avoid costly mistakes.
The entrepreneurial journey doesn't have to be lonely or confusing. Reach out, and let's connect. Whether it's leveraging disruptive strategies, diving into innovation, or simply finding your path, I've got your back. Let's write your success story, one step at a time.
I frequently host events and present talks on innovation, entrepreneurship and finding your purpose.
