"What has it been like to run London's biggest demo day?" 👀 🌐 That's exactly what we asked Vasily Alekseenko and Seven Jacobs founders of Rare Founders at their demo day! 🧠 Rare founders host regular events that brings together hundreds of startup founders, investors, and other industry professionals. 🤝 Their events are a great opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and build valuable networks in the #startup community. ♻️ Enjoyed this?

I'm proud of the hard work represented by our team that made this number possible. Midwestern has played a significant part in helping our clients and startup founders with their capital raise of $150+ million over the years. And that number is only growing! Investors are inundated with pitch decks every day, so yours needs to stand out. Fundraising for a #SaaS startup requires a clear and compelling pitch that outlines the problem being solved, the unique value proposition, and the growth potential, supported by concrete data and market analysis. If you're an investor, what's something that's stood out to you in a pitch that ultimately resulted in a deal? #Midwestern #SaaSStartup #Fundraising #StartupFounder

"Number one reason why fundraising is so hard? Many founders rush to raise funds before they are ready and have truly prepared." Learned this as well as really important and clear steps on how to fundraise thanks to KJ Singh at today's amazing event "Inside a Techstars Accelerator". I also enjoyed learning more about Techstar's Workforce Development Accelerator - thank you to Dave Cass for being so forthcoming on your approach to the accelerator and whether being in an accelerator is even the right fit for you or not. (It is if you are looking to build a network, looking for mentorship, or think it will help you go really fast). 🙏 for the great event - wished other accelerators did something similar! #insidetechstars #accelerators #techstartups

A question I get a lot - which investors should we focus on? Here's how to decide when you're raising your seed round: 1. Meet with all types of investors. Engage with angels, micro VCs, seed funds, and large VCs, aiming for at least 10 meetings within each category. 2. Measure excitement levels. Track how many investors from each group express immediate enthusiasm about your startup. Ideally, you want to see at least 40% of the investors within a category showing excitement. 3. Focus your attention. Once you've identified the categories that are most excited about your company, dedicate the next few weeks to focusing on those groups. #fundraising #venturecapital
