Probably the most productive 59 seconds of my life so far, 🌟 generating €7.4 per second 🌟 Woola organised a charity run for Ukraine 🇺🇦 where Estonian startups managed to collect insane 56k EUR to purchase Medical Evacuation vehicles to the front lines.The only thing that was needed from me: run 400 metres at max pace. I delivered and finished with a personal best of 59 seconds. 💡 Dividing the whole sum collected (€56 000) by the number of participants (128) and then by the amount of seconds it took me (59 sec), I generated around €7.4 per second. (In comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo currently earns €5.93 per second). 🏆 Congrats to fellow top-form athletes whose race times I am aware of: Rauno (56 sec, the fastest of the day), Villem (60 sec), Tanel (61 sec), Ranno (63 sec). 📣 Btw, we are only missing €4K from purchasing the third Medical Evacuation vehicle. Feel free to contribute (and increase my productivity even further).

Social proof for fundraising. “The amount of social proof required to get a round closed or a fund raised remains wildly under estimated”. — BR. “Specifically which categories of social proof do you think matter most when fundraising? 1. Happy customers 2. Other investors 🤔 3. Celebrity involvement 4. High-profile advisors”. — Sam Qamar. “2 and only 2”. — BR. https://lnkd.in/d8PVax4D by #BryceRoberts #IndieVC #Startup #Innovation #Founder #Cofounder #Entrepreneur #VentureCapital #Fund #Round #Fundraising #SocialProof The next big thing will start out looking like a toy 🧸   #StartAsAProject #StartAsAnOrg #Org    Skin in the game 🐘 with Paolo Massa Tofo   Follow us on X @massatofo

Do you go fishing? 🎣 I sometimes miss it… In other news, I just started a project that, when completed, will make a huge difference in its segment. It combines raising funds through grants with some quite innovative business models. I will keep you posted. ————— I help businesses secure funding. Over 100 clients and $18 million raised. #grants #grantwriting #grantconsultant #funding #entrepreneur #startup

Having served as trustee with Bedayati I know the value that its programmes are bringing to young people falling through the cracks but who have a determination to learn and build a better life. Every little helps! #youthempowerment #lebanon #socialentrepreneurship

Dear Remagine Ventures community, Israel is at war. The harrowing events of the past few days in Israel’s south have made this painfully clear. First and foremost, we send our deep condolences to the families of the victims of the most heinous terror attack ever on Israeli soil. We stand with you and pray for better days. We are incredibly moved by the messages of support and concern we have received from you. We could not be more thankful to have you as our community by our side during these times. Yet, through the agony of our past battles, we have resilience. We expect our nation to come together quickly and put domestic differences aside. Each individual will rise to the occasion, doing what they can. Some of our founders and their employees have been called to the front line, others, including our team at Remagine Ventures, are organizing civil and logistical support, volunteering, raising funds and helping afftected communities. But in the midst of this turmoil, the Israeli spirit will prevail. Most Israelis will strive to continue living their lives and doing business – not as usual – but with a strong sense of “especially now”. This spirit of defiance to never yield to terror has become Israel’s national ethos and soul. We are seeing this unfold already, with endless lines of people giving blood, collecting donations and helping their communities rebuild. We will continue to support our companies and our community. Our founders and startups will do exactly that. We will pause to mourn, cry, comfort friends and neighbors – but we will NOT stop operating. Quite the opposite is true. Our startups will develop, test, support clients, users, and capture market share. We will support them day and night. And, we will continue to invest in new startups. That’s what we do. We look forward to seeing you soon, in person or online. Thank you for your support,  Remagine Ventures If you’d like to support Israeli causes in this time of need, here’s a link with verified charities/ initiatives: https://lnkd.in/eU6SMVKv
