🌍 Global vs Local VC 🌍 Just had a fascinating conversation with the founder of Daytona, who shared a key insight: “Always go for a global investor over a local one. Global investors bring not just capital but a wealth of perspectives, larger networks, and often, faster funding.” Here’s why this advice makes sense: 🌐 📊 Studies show that startups backed by global investors grow 30% faster than those with only local support – thanks to expanded market access and cross-border expertise. 🌍 Global VC funding has surged by 75% in the last decade, a testament to the increasing appetite for ideas that can scale internationally. When your investor understands markets on a global scale, your growth trajectory transforms, turning barriers into gateways. What’s your take? Do you see global investors as a strategic edge, or is local still valuable? #GlobalInvestment #StartupGrowth #FundingStrategy #VC #Entrepreneurship

Should you seek Angel Investors? Angel investors are high-net-worth individuals who offer capital to early-stage startups, often in exchange for equity. They can be a significant boost if you're ready to scale and open to sharing your journey with investors who bring more than just money to the table. Pros: ✔️ Access to substantial capital. ✔️ Mentorship and valuable industry networks. ✔️ Flexible, founder-friendly investment terms. Cons: ✖️ Potential dilution of equity. ✖️ Added pressure for rapid growth and returns. ✖️ Balancing stakeholder interests with founder vision. As with any partnership, it’s crucial to weigh the potential benefits against the downsides. Have you considered angel investment?

Early stage investors should own lots of your company???:)......Considering the end game target of founders is crucial when determining how much equity the first investors should get. 1. For founders aiming to build a billion-dollar company, it's wise for investors to take a small percentage initially. This strategy not only facilitates later-stage fundraising but also positions them for significant returns. 2. On the other hand, if founders plan to sell the company for £2 million, it would be inequitable for investors to invest at a £1 million valuation. Understanding the long-term vision of the founders is key in structuring equitable and strategic relationships between founders and investors. #startup #investing #founders #equity #entrepreneurship

Great course for beginners who are just starting their entrepreneurial adventure in the startup world. I would not recommend it for seasoned leaders with experience. https://lnkd.in/eFDp6sYz #entrepreneurship.

A lead investor not only provides a significant portion of the capital but also sets the valuation tone, boosts credibility, and attracts other investors. Their mentorship, network, and strategic guidance can be invaluable beyond the financial contribution, often making the difference in successfully closing a funding round. 😃 Remember, securing a lead investor is not just about the funds; it's about finding a partner committed to your vision and growth.

Be an angel with a plan. I'm excited to announce that I'll be speaking at the European Angel Investment Summit in Brussels next week, where leading investors and entrepreneurs will gather to shape the future of Angel Investing. During the event, I’ll be sharing how I've leveraged my experience as an angel investor and my PhD to build a network of angel funds through COREangels model. In just three years, we’ve connected over 300 angel investors and have been recognized as one of the most active angel networks in Europe, investing in one startup per week in the last recent years. I'm fully committed to increasing angel liquidity by professionalizing angel investing, developing an active approach to early exits, and promoting a secondary angel market in Europe. This will help drive early exits for angels, clean up cap tables, and refocus angel investors on their core early-stage mission. Let’s enjoy the moment and celebrate EBAN - European Business Angel Network 25th anniversary on October 15-16! This summit #EAIS24 provides an excellent platform to connect and network with international colleagues. Let’s explore how we can collaborate and work together.
