🚀 Reflecting on an insightful session with Jean-Philippe "JP" Persico, a seasoned VC with Swiss roots in the US Bay Area, discussing the Investor Mindset in the US with the first cohort of the Swissnex Bridge Program and SWISS USAccelerator. 🚀 Here are my main takeaways: 🌟 Investors focus on businesses, not just ideas - emphasizing the importance of building a solid foundation and value proposition. 🤝 Networking tip: It's not about meeting a high number of investors but finding those you can genuinely connect and resonate with. 🔎 Investors are keen on seeing the tangible value to customers, diversity, and real-life impact. 🌐 Unlike in Switzerland, where networks grow town by town, the US offers a vast, interconnected ecosystem ripe for exploration. 💡 Learning about funding mechanisms like SAFE notes, akin to Swiss convertible notes but streamlined, simplifies early-stage funding. 📈 Understanding the US seed round dynamics ($5-8M), where proving product-market fit (PMF) takes precedence over extensive legal preparations. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from JP Persico’s expertise and to engage with such a forward-thinking group!
