David Cruz e Silva 🎙’s Post

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

Venture can be an exciting, fast-paced world, but it's also full of surprises. Here are a few things to learn from Sophie Winwood, founder & CEO of WVC:E. Winner of the Achievement of The Year category at the European VC Awards. You might think it's all about mental models and investment criteria. BUT. Venture is about many other things. 1️⃣ It's about people skills and emotional intelligence. Build relationships. Support founders in their journey. Help your companies overcome the rollercoaster of scaling a business. 2️⃣ It's about finding outliers. Stay flexible. Embrace unconventional opportunities. 3️⃣ Being an investor in a downturn is way better. You learn more. You focus on the fundamentals. You are investing in an environment where only those determined will make it.

Our most-said sentence right now? "You gotta look funded to get funded" Investors in the sustainability space want to fund the tech that will change the world. They also want to brag about it. They want to: 👉 show it off to their colleagues. 👉 explain it to their spouses. 👉 share it with their friends. That's why you can inspire investors with a good pitch, but when your website and your external comms aren't up to snuff, potential investors can't replicate your enthusiasm. So even if you don't lose the funds you earned, it's unlikely that investor networks fund your projects. We get it. That's why we are the best team to share your message, so you can find the investors you need to bring your project to scale.
