"A thinker reverses roles and sees the perspective of others." This James-Cook-quote was exemplified at the recent #Nvidia Inception Program's reverse pitch deck event. VCs like HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds, Atomico, Partech, Speedinvest, and Earlybird Venture Capital pitched to 250 startups, allowing them to find the right investor fit by understanding the VCs' perspectives. syenah GmbH is part of the #NvidiaInceptionProgram, which fosters a vibrant startup community and strong VC alliances, driving innovation and growth by building connections and understanding the entrepreneurial ecosystem. syenah GmbH's Risk Intelligence Platform is designed to provide comprehensive insights in #ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and business risks for a company and its whole #supplychain as well as for all financial institutions and their portfolios.

Tough times in #VC land. According to PitchBook, they have recorded the lowest-ever ratio in their 24 years of collecting data In calendar year 2023, VCs invested $60 Billion more in startups than they received from LPs. In addition, they only distributed $26 Billion in capital gains to LPs. This is likely a historical anomaly based on very aggressive #FTC enforcement of anti-trust policy that significantly dampened strategic M&A in the tech industry #NVCA Mario Pochat Felix Fenster

The latter aims to allow investors to enter deals with smaller capital. Meanwhile, the number of the network’s members rose to 160.

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
