Four years ago today, I launched First Check Ventures as a passion project to support great founders and keep busy during the pandemic. Today, we have more than 4,000 LPs, invested in 100+ companies across 5 continents and 25 countries, and delivered incredible returns for our investors. We take pride in discovering the next generation of unicorn founders and being the first check in for over 90% of our investments. Our founding teams are diverse (97%) and have at least one female co-founder (45%). These four years have been the best of my life. Witnessing the growth of our portfolio companies, founders evolving, and strengthening partnerships has been truly rewarding. I thank everyone for their role in this journey and hope to continue to build trust with those who put their trust in me. Although I've been quiet on social media this year, I've been working on exciting things that will be shared publicly soon. #VentureCapital #Startups #DiversityandInclusion #Entrepreneurship #Investing #FirstCheckVentures #angelinvesting #angelinvestors #earlystage #angellist #startupfunding #startups #venturecapital #latinamerica #emergingmarkets

Early-stage startups are powered by dreams, not reality. Reality at such a stage is too harsh and crushes people. Your role as a founder is to sell the dream to your team while staying in reality yourself. That’s your burden to carry as a founder. Do it well. #startup #founders

Most startup founders think scouting for investors, talking to them, pitching, etc. is solely their responsibility. But imagine, if you guided and trained your entire team to be the evangelists your startup needs. It's not going to be easy, but here's how you can start: - Make your vision/mission/purpose simple and crystal clear - no team member should have any doubts as to what it is - Craft an elevator pitch for others (emphasizing what's relevant at their level) and have them practice and get better at it - Ask them to participate in events in your stead 🚫 Nuff' said! ✔️🙂 Hope it helped 🤗❤️ #Startup #startuptips #dosanddonts #investorpitch #pitchdeck #indianstartups #Networking #networkingtips

𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗔’𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻𝘀 The MENA region is teeming with entrepreneurial energy. Every day, we hear about new startups securing funding, launching innovative products, and setting their sights on global markets. But here’s the hard truth: scaling from a regional success story to a global player is a monumental leap. Many startups in MENA face a fragmented market, regulatory challenges, and the issue of access to talent. The next wave of MENA startups will need more than just funding—they’ll need partnerships, mentorship, and robust ecosystems to support them on their journey to global scale. #Startups #MENA #Founders #VentureCapital
