Building a startup from ground-up, with limited resources can be very difficult. Happy to have spoken at the Litna EdTech Circle last month on bootstrapping strategies for early-stage startups. My keynote revolved around: (1) understanding founder-market fit (2) building a product that users love (3) monetizing as early as possible (4) keeping operations lean for as long as possible. #bootstrapping #founder #startup

Dalton Caldwell, Managing Director at Y Combinator, in this Startup School session, provides clear insights on essential startup terminology. Here’s a breakdown of what he covered: 📌 MVP (Minimum Viable Product): Why starting with the simplest version of your product helps you test and learn before scaling. 📌 Venture Capital vs. Angel Investors: Key differences in funding options, and how they impact your startup's growth. 📌 Profitability vs. Burn Rate: What burn rate is, why it’s important, and how to balance it with profitability. 📌 Fundraising Rounds: Understanding pre-seed, seed, and Series A fundraising rounds, and how each affects your startup. 📌 Pre-Product Market Fit vs. Post-Product Market Fit: Why it's important to differentiate between these stages and how they influence your startup's trajectory. 📌 Startup Funding Terms: Learn about bootstrapping, convertible notes, and SAFE notes to choose the right funding path for your business. 📌 Valuation ≠ Worth: Why a high valuation doesn’t always mean your startup is healthy or successful. 📌 Equity & Stock Options: Demystifying the role of stock options and equity in securing investment and talent. 💡 If you're building a startup or simply fascinated by the startup ecosystem, Dalton's session is a must-watch for navigating the complexities of startup terminology! #BurnRate #MVP #StartupSchool #TAM #VentureCapital #AngelInvestor #YC #YCombinator #StartupInsights #Entrepreneurship #Fundraising #GrowthHacking #SvegileTechnologies

Great reminder a few weeks ago while attending an event hosted by Techstars and ChangeNOW that when evaluating early-stage startups, the most important things to look out for are the team, then the team, and last but not least, THE TEAM. I’m sure that every single one of us can come up with brilliant ideas, but only a few have the superpower of executing and making them a reality. That’s why for most VCs and angel investors, investment in early-stage startups seems more like an investment into the people, rather than ideas. Every idea needs a passionate and driven founder who can analyze and make changes when things aren’t going as planned. What are you looking for in an early-stage startup?
