Three biggest learnings from a fundraising journey. Shared by Rainer Märkle, General Partner at HV Capital at EUVC 1/ Have a time box with a deadline attached. Have a defined horizon & create a clear plan. Have some urgency to get things done at some point. Execute very transparently and reliably. 2/ Stick to your narrative. But don't do it blindly. Tweak it when necessary. Adapt it. Don't let yourself be surprised by major changes. Keep focusing on delivering according to your strategy & plan. 3/ Fundraising is a marathon with many sprints. There are moments when you'll ask yourself - Why do I do this? Is it gonna work out? But don't get too negative during the down phases. Adapting and pivoting is part of our job. As it is for the founder of a company. How about you? What fundraising lessons have you learned? Join the conversation. 🔽 #venturecapital #angelinvesting #startupfunding #europe

Our associate, Sigvards Krongorns, steps into the spotlight in Founder to VC: A HealthTech Journey. Sigvards joined Alexander Benkendorf for a fireside chat, exploring his journey from co-founding his healthtech startup, CastPrint, to switching sides and joining Verge HealthTech Fund. 🌟 Sigvards shared a humanizing element to his current investor role, as he could relate to the motivations and struggles most startups are constantly going through, having gone through the same journey himself. As someone who's been on both sides of the table, he gave a lot of tips for current founders looking to find the right growth partners: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀. It could be in a monthly or semi annual newsletter. Whether you decided to pivot or you've made some progress, investors are looking for founders who are transparent and committed for the long run.  𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. Research and understand what investors are particularly looking for and what they can provide. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Not all investors will be the right match for your startup.  𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗱. Having the right credentials can be useful but even more important is showing what makes you different from other founders and startups and why your thinking is going to work.

In the latest episode of the New Light Ventures podcast, I had an insightful conversation with Matias Serebrinsky, General Partner at PsyMed Ventures, a VC fund investing in groundbreaking brain and mental health technologies. With his diverse background as a founder, AI accelerator lead at NVIDIA, and now investor, Matias shares unique perspectives on the future of mental health innovation. 🌟 3 Key Takeaways: 1. Investing at the Intersection of Psychedelics and AI - PsyMed Ventures is at the forefront of funding companies leveraging psychedelics and artificial intelligence to revolutionize mental health treatment. 2. Founder Empathy from Entrepreneurial Experience - Having co-founded the venture-backed food tech startup CookUnity, Matias deeply understands the founder journey and uses this to support PsyMed's portfolio. 3. Conviction in Contrarian Investments - Matias emphasizes the importance of having strong conviction when investing in emerging areas like psychedelics, even if it means fundraising and sourcing deals is harder initially. "Find your Ikigai. Find the place where your mission and purpose and skills overlap. Because this thing is too hard to do only for clout or money." For anyone interested in the cutting-edge of mental health tech and venture capital, this episode is a must-listen. Matias' insights on the potential of psychedelics, AI, and supporting founders are invaluable for entrepreneurs and investors alike. 🎧 Check out the full episode in the comments and let me know your thoughts!

“The impact label provides a fundraising advantage in the current market.” …Really enjoyed debating this motion yesterday, alongside my fantastic fellow ‘pro’ team member Mark Berryman – and Dr. Katharina Sommerrock and Andreas Nilsson as our very impressive ‘opposition’ – at PEI’s Impact Investor Global Summit. Over the past two decades we’ve seen a revolution in the way investors think about #impact. It’s now one of the fastest-growing areas of the investment world – not least because it’s increasingly well aligned with some of the biggest #growth trends in the global economy. We were pleased to ‘win’ yesterday’s debate. But the real challenge lies ahead: in channelling more capital towards building a more sustainable, more inclusive economy. Identifying and explaining the #opportunities created by this transition will be vital in achieving that. Many thanks to Heike Schmitz for ably moderating. I look forward to more such debates in the future! #ImpactInvestorGlobalSummit #IISG2024 | PEI | Boris Petrovic

❤️ INCREDIBLE. Fundie Ventures is the 13th Syndicate that I've had the opportunity to impact through Angel School. Personal learnings from Stuart Minnaar's success: 1/ Our 'north star' for admission is "Can this person be a successful syndicate lead?" --> 100% Yes from our 1st interaction. 2/ South Africa punches way above it's weight. Great energy and community. --> Shoutout to Lucien Peters Aidan Hurly Everyone Ventures Ryan Shub Stefni Bridges The Delta Cameron Bing Mathew Marsden Startup Club ZA 3/ Record GTM- 1st deal launched within the 8 week program. 4/ Advocacy from peers, connecting through Andreas Munk Holm David Cruz e Silva 🎙 EUVC I launched AngelSchool.vc because #angelinvestors and #syndicates are massively underserved. ...yet they move ~$10BN / yr of capital for venture ecosystems. If 1:50 angel investors aspires to start a syndicate in their career, that's a market worth building for.
