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.

I met 30+ pre-seed #founders in the last 2 months and most of them had no idea on what goes into raising a pre-seed round. Typically in a pre-seed round, you are... - Still building the product - Finding PMF - have limited to no customers 👉🏻But what is required to raise? - Great idea - Working MVP - Experienced founders - Early signs of traction - Potential to revenue Its the riskiest round, so valuation depends mostly on founders and team. 👉🏻Who invests at pre-seed? -The founders themselves -Family & Friends -Select angel investors - Micro-VCs -Crowdfunding platforms -Incubators and accelerators 👉🏻But what about the Pre-seed valuations? At this stage, the valuation of the company can be all over the place. It is not uncommon to see pre-seed valuations between $500k-$5 million. Funds raised during the pre-seed round average between $100k-$1 million. 👉🏻But where are the funds deployed? - hiring a team, - setting up the infrastructure, - building the business model, - market testing, research, - preparing for the product launch. Pre-seed funding is often needed more for companies with a high startup cost. Are you #building something exciting? Let's chat! ________________ Fundraising?

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
