Blueprint Ventures’ Post

Last week, our Fall 2024 Accelerator cohort tackled two crucial areas for startup success: Financial & Accounting Infrastructure and Capital Planning for Fundraising Asks. Building a solid financial foundation is essential for scaling any life science venture, and understanding capital planning ensures our founders are well-prepared to articulate their funding needs confidently. These sessions provided the tools and knowledge our entrepreneurs need to attract and manage investment effectively. A huge thank you to our expert guests for sharing their insights and empowering our founders.

When your startup is being discussed by VC partners in an investment committee (IC) meeting, there are usually one or two proponents advocating for you. Their goal? To convince the rest of the partners to invest. This is where having a clear and concise pitch deck and materials becomes essential. Your proponents need these tools to easily communicate your startup's potential to others who haven't spent much time with you. VC partners review over 100 deals a year, so your startup must be easily digestible for those in the room who lack the same foundational context. Your goal is to make it easy for your champions to champion you. #StartupFundraising #VentureCapital #FundraisingTips

Ever wonder why VCs prefer founders to reach out directly instead of through I-bankers? 🤔 Because it says something about the fund raising capability of the founders. 🚀 Remember, a startup has to do multiple rounds of fund raising in its journey, and the founders are expected to have two core skills: 1️⃣ Creating the business 2️⃣ Raising funds I run a program on my website, VCIFY, to get founders pitch-ready (link in the first comment). From support & guidance in (1) validating the idea (2) refining the pitch deck & financial model, and (3) finally a mock pitch – it covers it all though content plus 1:1 sessions. 🎯 Enroll now! #startups #founders #venturecapital
