Access to venture capital is more than just a challenge—it's an uphill battle for many founders. According to a 2020 study by Gompers, Gornall, Kaplan, and Strebulaev, a staggering 59% of VC deals originate from warm introductions through professional networks or existing portfolio companies. This exclusivity poses significant barriers for founders without access to well-connected intermediaries. At Elda, we're committed to breaking down these barriers and empowering all founders with equal opportunities to access VC funding.

I often notice a common trend in very early stage startup pitches - founders avoid talking about traction. 🤷♀️ When asked why, the classic answer is - well, there is not much to show OR that they are shying away from having numbers that don't have 5 digits. My answer usually is - well, early stage (and actually any) investors are betting on the future, not the present traction. Below you can see 3 tips on how to go about it. It might not be a common approach, but I definitely am pro honesty and reasonable conversation. Wonder if my investor friends agree? Cristobal Alonso, Azahara Vera Cobos, Günce Önür, Dag Ainsoo, Farid Singh - what do you think? #investment #fundraising #startups #pitchadvice #publicspeaking #pitch

Startups need to take their time to build a reliable cap table because it serves as a crucial blueprint of ownership structure, equity distribution, and investor stakes. A well-maintained cap table ensures transparency, helps avoid conflicts, supports fundraising strategies, and attracts potential investors.
