Access to venture capital is more than just a challenge—it's an uphill battle for many founders. According to a 2020 study by Gompers, Gornall, Kaplan, and Strebulaev, a staggering 59% of VC deals originate from warm introductions through professional networks or existing portfolio companies. This exclusivity poses significant barriers for founders without access to well-connected intermediaries. At Elda, we're committed to breaking down these barriers and empowering all founders with equal opportunities to access VC funding.

💼 I see many MENA founders making early mistakes in their startup journey, particularly with uninvestable cap tables. For successful investment, avoid these pitfalls: 1. Founders with <80% before seed round: Retain significant equity for motivation. 2. One investor with too much control: Avoid concentrated power. 3. Ex-founders/universities with >10%: Minimize "dead equity." 4. A zoo of investors: Simplify your cap table. Keeping these in mind makes your startup more attractive to investors. 📈 #Startups #Entrepreneurship #Investment #CapTable #VentureCapital

most common question asked by founders ~ how do you evaluate if the startups shortlisted for tank will get funded by sharks? me~ bhai, simple hai- i don the hat of an angel investor & only those which i would personally invest are given the go ahead 🙂 (At the same time, must add~ final decision is done by a panel comprising both business & creative teams to avoid any bias) #investment #funding #startups #founder #sharktankindia #evaluation

MEET THE STARTUP: Equitee is removing the golden handcuffs by providing liquidity to employees while helping investors get access to the top scaleups. 🚀 The founder Tal Feingold enables employees to finance their option exercise cost in exchange for a % of the upside. Allowing investors get pre IPO deals at Series A entry points.  👀 Why? ❌ The UK IPO market is yet to pick up, meaning there are billions of pounds of employee-owned shares that are completely inaccessible. 🤯 ❌ Employees are unable to realise any value from them until the company gets acquired or goes public. 🤯 Traction so far? Equitee are very early stage but are in talks with employees from several top startups and scaleups with a promising pipeline. 💸 MEET THE STARTUP using the link in the comments: Luke Knight Seb Johnson 📊 #Founder #funding #business #investing #vc #venturecapital #entrepreneur #startup

🚀 Backing early-stage startups ahead of the curve 🚀 First Momentum Ventures Venture is known for finding and supporting startups early - sometimes even years ahead of the general VC market. 💡 As Andreas Fischer explains, when they identify a team and technology that excites them, they dive deep into their investment process to make sure it’s something worth backing. 💡 "They often have to ask themselves: how far ahead of the market are they? It’s possible they invest in something now, but it could take years for other VCs to recognize its potential." 🌱 This approach allows founders to gain momentum before the rest of the market catches on. It’s about seeing potential early and having the patience and conviction to support founders as they grow into their vision. #EarlyStageInvesting #FirstMomentumVentures #AndreasFischer #StartupSuccess #Innovation #FoundersJourney #VC #WhatsInStoreShow #GonzaloPerez #VentureCapital #EarlyInvestments #InvestmentStrategy #HiddenGems #VCTips #Entrepreneurship #MarketTrends #BusinessGrowth #Investing
