This year Associated, The Collective is trying our best to support every post written by a member of The Collective. In “How Startups Are Falling Through The Cracks “ Tunde Adekeye argues that venture capital is inherently an inefficient market. Historically some stakeholders have disagreed because of two arguments: One: “… there is enough publicly available information that any founder willing to do the work can successfully prepare themselves for fundraising.” Two: “… a founder’s inability to convince investors is evidence in and of itself of their deficiency, because if a founder can't sell to investors this is a sign that they also won't be able to sell to customers.” But as Tunde has rightly pointed out, many investors investing at the earliest stages don’t believe this, and that is one of the reasons why they spend time helping founders they support pitch other investors. He unpacks his thesis and more in the PitchDoctor’s Manifesto linked below. https://lnkd.in/eFyXT9GR
