We kicked off our exclusive founders roundtable events series last week in London together with sclr labs and it was a hit! I want to share some practical learnings and advice from the day: 💰 Consider the country in which you raise your particularly earlier rounds in carefully. We spoke at length about the differences between the US and UK investment market and the different expectations each market holds. Speak to Patrycja Maksymowicz for more info. 🔭 An investor search engine to start your investor outreach shipshape.vc (however, meeting investors at events or getting a warm intro always trumps!) 📚 Want to take advantage of the UK's SEIS/EIS advance assurance initiative? Speak to Sam Simpson from FounderCatalyst to get support. 💻 Ivy Tech's CTO Oleksii Shykov 🇺🇦 made a great point to look if there is any existing software out there you can utilise for your product idea. Not everything has to be build from scratch and not everything requires complex code!

Angel investors just want a sense of feeling and belonging. Not being alone in the journey. That’s one of the key takeaways I got from my time at the Angel Investor Summit hosted by South East Angels. It’s why we’re building Table for Ten. Dom and I ask ourselves weekly how we ensure we don’t ’just become another syndicate’. Yes dealflow is a core part of this all, but for the angel investors that are putting their cash on the line - how do we make this a better experience in a world where all the spotlights are shining on VCs. We want our angels to feel like they are giving value where they best can. We want our founders to feel like they are getting more than just a few £££s to spend. Our dinners are proving to be the entry point to this journey. 🚀 Domenico Ranucci

Investor databases are a great tool, especially for first-time founders. Roundtable is launching its European Angel Investor Database on Product Hunt today- check it out; it's currently 1st for today. I'm excited about this one because I've seen plenty of VC lists, but few that focus on angel investors. Thanks Evan and team for including me. To many more deals with Roundtable 🚀 Who are the best angels that didn't make the list? Tag in the comments

Investors pitching to founders… an exercise I truly enjoy, as the relationship between investors and founders should always be a two-way street. Just as founders carefully choose their investors, investors should also take the time to demonstrate their value beyond capital. The right chemistry, shared vision, and mutual respect are key to building a strong, long-term partnership. Great sharing the stage with Rutvik and Achraf Khallouli. Tinhinane BOUSSAID Bpifrance

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to speak at the Start2 Group x German Accelerator event, introducing the concept of Investor Empathy.
