Here's what they bring to the table: 💰 Financial & Social Capital: Startups with board-seated VCs enjoy greater access to funding and industry connections. These companies typically see more funding rounds and higher annual sales. However, ROI may dip due to the higher stakes involved. 💡 Innovation Boosters: VCs bring fresh business insights and act as strategic advisors. They pinpoint performance gaps and identify growth opportunities, pushing your startup toward greater innovation. 🗣️ Strategic Support: VCs on your board are not just money men—they’re also key strategists. Their guidance can open doors to new partnerships and industry-shaping decisions. 📊 Key Takeaway: While VCs on your board might mean slightly lower ROI, the massive increase in funding, innovation, and strategic direction can give your startup a critical edge. 🌐 VCs on Social Media: Amplifying Your Startup’s Presence VCs are also taking over the digital world—especially platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter. Here’s how their social presence can elevate your business: 🏆 Social Legitimacy: A VC with a strong social media presence is like having a stamp of approval. Their public endorsements increase your startup’s legitimacy and can attract additional funding, as other investors see this as a quality signal. 🖥️ Digital Expertise = Financial Gains: VCs active on social media are typically IT-savvy, and their involvement correlates with stronger revenue growth, market cap growth, and ROA (Return on Assets). In the digital age, their online clout can boost your financial performance. 🌐 Visibility & Networking: VCs with a large LinkedIn following can provide your startup with increased visibility, expanding your reach to potential partners, corporates, or even new clients. 📊 Key Takeaway: A VC’s social media presence enhances your startup’s reputation, visibility, and ability to attract more investors. ✨ The Ultimate Question: Which Matters More? 🔑 "Credits: 🌟 All write-up is done by me(P.S.Mahesh) after indepth research.

What do you think: How do Venture Capital firms invest? A framework that helps in identifying high-potential innovations is to ask yourself: 🚀 "Who Loses, Who Chooses, Who Profits, Who Pays" 🚀 This framework offers clarity on whether an innovation is truly scalable and sustainable. Here’s how it applies to finding the most promising opportunities: ✅ Who Chooses? The decision-maker is critical. The ideal innovation empowers the party that has the authority to choose it. For example, a B2B SaaS product that solves a pain point for the department leader with the purchasing power—or a consumer product that the end user loves enough to buy without friction. ✅ Who Pays? The best ventures align the payer with the chooser. If the decision-maker is also bearing the cost, it signals a strong alignment of incentives. Think of enterprise tools purchased by a department head whose team directly benefits—or subscription apps consumers willingly pay for. ✅ Who Profits? A sustainable business ensures that the benefits flow directly to the payer/chooser. When value is tangible and immediate, adoption accelerates, churn decreases, and word-of-mouth drives growth. A strong profit loop for the user often creates a natural profit loop for the company. ❌ Who Loses? Every innovation creates disruption. But high-potential ventures minimize losses or offset them with greater gains. If the party losing out is a competitor or an outdated process, it’s a sign of a healthy market shift. If the cost disproportionately falls on a customer segment or partner, the business might face resistance or backlash. In venture, we’re always looking for innovations that make life easier for the chooser/payer and demonstrate a clear win-win-win dynamic. When the party who chooses also pays—and sees tangible value—they become your strongest advocates. This alignment often separates fleeting trends from enduring solutions! 💡 What questions are you asking when making investment decisions? #VentureCapital #Alignment #SwissStartups Emerald Technology Ventures

Leveraging Established Networks: Startups can access new markets and customer bases by partnering with companies that have established networks and distribution channels. Joint Ventures: Forming joint ventures with other firms can help startups to enter new geographic or demographic markets more effectively and with lower risk. Co-Branding: Joint marketing efforts can help startups to leverage the brand strength of their partners, reaching a wider audience more effectively Synergies can provide startups with a competitive edge, enabling them to do more with less, innovate faster, and grow more sustainably.

Venture Builders with high EQ know there are some things you can't control... But you can focus on your own activities. You can't always control: - The organisation's strategy - The availability of resources - The support from stakeholders You can control: - The strategic alignment of ventures - The way you use resources - The communication of value It's easy to dive into ventures without clear strategic alignment. Letting the enthusiasm for the idea take over. This is the wrong approach. A lack of strategic alignment leads to failure. You shouldn't start any new venture without it. The alignment ensures stakeholder support and resources. It's also a continuous process. Regular reviews and communication keep ventures on track.

Disruptive Innovation (DI) is the enemy of the status quo, the conventional, industry standards, the incumbents. DI offers much better, often 10X better products, services, strategies, ecosystems, business and revenue models and often better pricing to end customers and businesses. DI is the enemy of what is mediocre and the ally of what is better or great and good for businesses and customers. Great and Good DI has the best interest in mind of customers and businesses or citizens when it comes to political. I think it’s time to address how convention and incumbent leaders, companies, organizations and politicians and their main backers work to keep themselves relevant and in power. I’d like to reveal the little known knowledge about how media and capital backing controls which innovation gets backing and news media coverage. First, at the most simple levels, media covers what they deem to be credible. That is who is source and are they credible. It does not matter if we are talking about a startup, a new politician organization, a news story or a politician running for office. Most often the filtering begins with the website and the founders of the company or organization. Do they have credibility and have they been funded? Most all news media will not cover great new companies, organizations or politicians if they don’t have great website, ample experience giving them credibility and capital backing. Then keep in mind that funded companies and organizations that get media coverage are most often sponsors too! The capital backers of these companies, organizations or politicians also don’t want to see competitors disrupt their investments. Now, the smart and ethical investors will invest in companies, organizations or politicians with DI as insurance against their success and the subsequent failure of their investments. Now, there is also the pride factor and the loss of relevance, power and influence by the incumbent leaders that is replaced by leaders of DI. So often the best innovation and leaders are often not backed if they do not have access to capital that is willing to back them early and in significant and sufficient amounts to gain good traction and ability to execute their Go-To-Market Strategy and achieve success in market or gain political victory. It comes down to one’s network and if one’s network believes in them and has capital to fund them. I’ve seen companies quickly raise millions to tens of millions in capital for mediocre ideas or founders w/out ample experience to execute. I myself have been a lifelong innovator in startups, media and all things political to learn all such. I’d like to share that soon I’ll be announcing a breakthrough in how to disrupt the barriers to capital raising and gaining of media through creating market opportunities, new business models and opening all this to We the People. I hope you enjoyed this post and had your eyes opened to reality of how funding and media coverage often works.

"Every great company is a conspiracy to change the world." Peter Thiel's instant classic, Zero to One, is required reading for every founder, aspiring VC, and person who wants to help great founders and work in venture capital. Here is everything you need to know in seven quick points: 1️⃣ 0 to 1 or 1 to N? -> Going from 0 to 1 means creating something entirely new. Think Google. -> 1 to N is scaling or improving existing ideas, through incremental progress. Hoka running shoes. 2️⃣ Monopolies vs. Competition -> 0 to 1 companies often become monopolies. -> They thrive because they aren't consumed by competition and can focus on growth. 3️⃣ The Value of Secrets -> The world still holds untapped secrets. 0 to 1 ideas are often secrets. -> “What valuable company is nobody building?” PT 4️⃣ The Power Law of Venture Capital ->Most returns come from a few groundbreaking investments. -> Therefore, the bets VCs make should be made on transformative ideas, not copycats. 5️⃣ Creating the Future -> Copying isn’t enough. -> Startups must aim to define the future by creating new ideas and technology for the world. -> Copycats are not innovative. 6️⃣ Technology vs. Globalization ->Progress happens through innovation not just expansion. -> Technology = 0 to 1 -> Globalization = 1 to N 7️⃣ Sales is Essential -> Great products don’t sell themselves. -> Great products are often misunderstood at first. -> Therefore, strong distribution, marketing, and sales are essential for 0 to 1 companies. What secret do you know? ♻️ Repost this if you have read or are going to read Zero to One! ➕ Follow me for more insights on all the ways to Operations helps Founders go from 0 to 1.

Designing repeatable processes for innovation is essential for growth in the digital era, yet it is incredibly hard. In too many organizations, new ventures are green-lit based on a single executive sponsor. Once started, ventures move slowly, managed by teams that sit in traditional silos. Resource allocation is slow too, as promising projects wait weeks or months for their next round of approvals. Because each project is backed by an influential executive, no one wants to shut it down, even if it shows little promise. Meanwhile, risk aversion leads businesses to fund only their low-hanging fruit — incremental improvements in the core that bring a guaranteed, quick ROI. This path will never lead to transformation. Instead, you need governance that embraces uncertainty and supports growth both within and beyond the core. Digital transformation requires that governance be carefully designed to address several issues. The first is oversight. Who approves new projects? To whom do they report? And who shuts them down? Next is funding. How will you allocate resources across a portfolio of ventures to maximize opportunities for success? Equally critical are people. Who will staff new ventures, whether inside or outside your organization? How will teams be formed with the right mix of skills? Governance must also include metrics. How will you measure the progress of new ventures? And, crucially, how can you bring discipline to regularly shutting down ventures, a practice so often neglected at large enterprises? https://mitsmr.com/45szRPw
