Be honest. How many start-up founders get pissed off when Corporates & Investors take an age to reply? We share a similar amount of heartbeats, but we expend them at different rates. Although it’s frustrating, it’s also advantageous. Instead of waiting, develop more. Instead of getting upset, fail at something until you get it right. Maybe we won’t need them after all. If we still do, we are more prepared when they want to share their heartbeats. #founders #startups #investors #entrepreneurship

Love this 😆 VCs then vs VCs now... I think most VCs believe they are the top row but are the bottom. Me? I don't have an MBA and only had 4 markups in 2021... I think this is missing a 3rd layer. Disclaimer: I am not clever enough to create this meme. Its viral so don't know OP. Please DM me or comment below if you know who & Ill give them proper credit + link to their post. #venturecapital #startups #investing #entrepreneurs

Bootstrapped founders enjoy an automatic 3x-30x exit multiple compared to their VC-funded peers! "A smaller piece of a bigger pie" is the common refrain convincing founders to take VC money. But how much bigger does the pie really have to be? The answer is astounding. Up to 30x! And that's ignoring typical VC terms like liquidation preferences, participating preferred, and investor anti-dilution. These can result in founders getting literally ZERO even if the pie were infinitely bigger! How is this even possible? The math is simple. Here is a slide from my presentation at the Charlottesville Entrepreneurs and Espresso event yesterday explaining this shocking but little known gotcha for founders. #bootstrapping #startups #vc #entrepreneurship

As founders approach Series A round, it's crucial to present milestones that showcase growth and potential. Highlight your competence as a founder and your ability to learn and adapt. Show evidence of a strong, capable team that can scale with the company. Demonstrate proof of concept and a solid understanding of your commercialization and go-to-market strategy. Remember, validation of your idea and team, especially yourself as the founder, is key. These milestones will help convince VCs of your potential. - Celine Halioua CEO Loyal #Startups #SeriesA #VC #Funding #Growth #Entrepreneurship

How to Avoid Being Replaced as CEO by Your VCs 1. Don’t sell too much of the company. 2. Pick VCs on your board, especially early-stage VCs, that you trust. 3. Look at the track record of the Series A-B-C VCs you bring in. 4. Be very transparent. 5. Be better than anyone else. 6. Don’t expect — or ask for — another check. Credit: Jason M.
