caesar.

We've seen a lot of non-European VCs pull back funding for startups in the region, over the last couple of years. This caused a vacuum in early stage funding - key to driving innovation and giving #founders the support they need in those early days. That's why caesar. was born. As experienced angel investors and founders ourselves, we understand how important access, funding and support are to sustainable growth. #weinvestbeforeinvesting #VCinsights #startups #entrepreneurs | 👏 Managing Partners: Carolin & Gregor

We are excited to support Ginkgo on their mission to rethink how SME pension plans serve employees and employers alike in a way that allows employers to differentiate and employees to benefit from a 21st century financial product 🚀

🌟 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗩: 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆, 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 🌟 As a founder, Sebastian Büchte knows the challenge of hearing “no” from investors and sometimes receiving heaps of advise from everyone. His advice to fellow founders: 1️⃣ 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘆: While all feedback is valuable it is on founders to decide whether to act on it or not. Listen closely, evaluate critically, and trust your expertise to focus on what truly drives your business forward. 2️⃣ 𝗕𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁: It is all too tempting to change your story, your plans quickly to please prospective investors. However, it is not about the flavor of the day it is about how you view your business and how you want to build it. 3️⃣ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: Rejections are part of the journey. Persistence and adaptability will help you refine your vision and find the investors who genuinely align with and support your ideas. 4️⃣ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: The right investors don’t just provide funding - they become your advocates, open doors and accelerate your path to success.
