🔍 A short dive to Quarterly Startup Report on Q1, 2024 investments: Mega deals and rise in foreign investor activity. A profound development has emerged from the latest Quarterly Startup Report, shared by a consortium of Golden Egg Check, Dutch Startup Association, KPMG NL Emerging Giants, Nederlandse Vereniging van Participatiemaatschappijen (NVP), Invest-NL, Techleap, Dealroom.co.

Early to make conclusions, but enough to be hopeful for a fruitful year!? #venturecapital #vcinvestments #marketdata

What is the most neglected part of secondaries, both in the US and Asia? PitchBook has quantified the answer: - Some $4 trillion in value is locked up in VC-backed companies in the US alone. - Valuation growth between funding rounds has slowed, startups are waiting longer to raise their next round, and the rates of flat and down rounds are at a decade high of 26.6%.

It's a new era of unicorns! In the finance sector, unicorns (privately held startups valued at over £1 billion) have become the golden geese for investors. According to Tech Bullion, this development may be owed to the changes in accreditation rules, which may have just opened doors for more investors. And as investors try to catch up with the ever-changing markets, which considerations should they look out for? Follow more here: https://heyor.ca/TD4I5S #Finance #FinanceInsights

Recently I read a few articles about Product-Market Fit. Both from VC funds.  1/ The Arc Product-Market Fit Framework by Sequoia Capital https://lnkd.in/gG_9NU-n 2/ A Quantitative Approach to Product Market Fit by Tribe Capital  https://lnkd.in/gn9ZmJ7A Both articles give you good perspectives about startups growth challenges. However, I think they are far from PMF quantification. Any recommendations about better sources of PMF identification? #pmf

Europe's early-stage market continued to see growth in median valuations in the first half of the year, while recovery in price tags for more mature startups has been slower. The overall value of the region's unicorns reached an all-time high, driven in part by AI's momentum, according to PitchBook's Q2 2024 European VC Valuations Report. #venturecapital #report #data #startups #valuations #investment

You should know. 90% of startups fail. Remember this when you are presented with the next bright idea. The valuation. The fancy pitch deck. The unicorn status.
