When our customers first come to us, they're sick and tired of their clunky, outdated CRMs. That's why we built Meridian, the CRM that actually works for private equity. If any of these quotes seem familiar then reach out for a demo! https://lnkd.in/emQp7saY
Loved seeing this interview featuring Daouda Leonard, CEO of CreateSafe, Inc. (and #Grimes' manager), who recently appeared on BBC News to discuss a new product, Elf.Tech, which allows fans to ethically and creatively collaborate with their favorite artists using AI. By providing a framework that ensures consent, collaboration, and proper remuneration, Elf.Tech enables users to create music using Grimes’ (and other artists') AI-generated voice. When these creations generate revenue, it is split equally between Grimes and the creator 🎵 🤖 #AI #musictech #music #musicinnovation #drake #princeton #chaacventures cc Langa Kambi-Shamba Jonathan Tanners Kosta Elchev

We had a great turnout last night in Princeton for our fireside chat with Delfi founder, Daniel P. Ahn (P’04). While speaking to student founders before and after the talk, we were blown away by their knowledge, talent, and enthusiasm.

Excited to share insights from my journey at Chaac Ventures over the past 4 months, where I met with 100+ startup founders across diverse industries, from healthcare to fintech to AI. Here are some key learnings that might be helpful for young founders starting on their journey: 💡Know Your Investor: Not all startups are meant for venture capital. Some businesses thrive better with more traditional investors. Learn the difference and understand if your venture aligns with the expectations of VC returns. 🤝 Relationships First: One of the most common pitfalls I’ve observed is the rush to pitch when meeting with VC firms. Instead, take the time to foster a genuine connection. Start with an introductory conversation to understand each other’s visions and values. Building a relationship lays a solid foundation for future collaboration and ensures alignment between your goals and theirs. 📝 Effective Material: Sending materials ahead of meetings can be a game-changer, but it’s crucial to do it right. Keep it concise and impactful – opt for a sleek one-pager and a visually appealing deck rather than bombarding them with lengthy documents. Remember, respecting the team’s time is key. Make every word count! 🎯 Less is More: Founders often fall into the trap of overwhelming investors with extensive research. Remember, simplicity is key. Focus on conveying your core message clearly and succinctly. It’s not about how much you say but rather how effectively you communicate your value proposition.
