Hi founders, Learn from the best and get to understand the investors mindset-Techstars course. Trick: You are the Alpha investor. Your mandate should be similar to the investors ie we want to make money quickly, the only difference you are on a crusade tied to the mast while they will expect an exit most likely through acquisition. Please remember VC are lenders of last resort so get bootstrapping and reach out to LEO, EI (Irish ecosystem) and make use of the financial supports available. Incentive: The longer you bootstrap the higher the valuation, for instance pre-seed 1-4 million (the closer you are from validation to product market fit the higher the valuation) While seed 4-10 million, now you have an MVP with revenue, a team with complete product experience and an actionable profitable business plan. I'm presently mentoring companies on Techstars and the Y combinator.

Where are the science and engineering VCs? I can’t with these finance bros. Degrees from schools no one has ever heard from, the easiest of majors with absolutely no technical rigor, standing in judgement of founders creating innovative products that they could not even dream up. Their self importance combined with their complete lack of understanding of even basic technical concepts is why they would focus on something as mundane as a date, but give Juicero $120 million. Let them have the pitches they can understand, like lifestyle apps, the hard stuff should be going to corporate VCs https://lnkd.in/eH3HgUn2
