If you’re a founder of an early-stage technology startup, and you’re looking for funding, your main challenge is a lack of quality data. To rightly present your startup you need a comprehensive dossier, comprising all funding-related information. Then again, don’t delude yourself with a hastily assembled pitch deck. The deck is the tip of the funding iceberg. Located below the surface trustworthy information in the dossier allows you to pass the sanity check and due diligence.
Furthermore, there are new traits of the funding landscape to take into account:
- In response to the economic downturn, investors became more selective with dropping valuations and a strong focus on startups' profitability
- Intangible assets are attracting investors' attention, resulting in a rise in expectations of return
- With increased competition, startups should tailor their funding path, choosing wisely between M&A, CVC, and syndicates
PROFIT.enterprises guides you through the four key areas of actual concern for investors:
I. Market Entry & Opportunities
II. Market Situation
III. Startup Profitability
