Why some startups get VC funding and others don't 💸 Even though there are a lot of articles out there explaining how VCs make decisions, I came across Omri Amirav-Drory's and thought it was the one to share. Understanding #VC math is probably one thing you can do now to understand why we can't invest in every single company. The reality is that only a handful of high-impact investments drive most of the returns for our funds, so every new investment should have the potential to become a fund returner. Unfortunately, having a great idea is not enough, you have to align with investors' incentives and understand their goals. Thinking big should not just be a strategy. To increase your chances of getting VCs excited, you can ask yourself the following three questions and think critically about whether you believe your own story and whether you could be the one to potentially return the fund. ❔How big is the opportunity?  ❔Can I build a moat around my case?  ❔Why are we the only team that can solve this? 🌟 To learn more, please read the whole article here: https://lnkd.in/enuHC2VU 🌟 --- Writing to give back to the community.

3 Meetings, 1 Goal — How I Secured Funding from Investors in 4 weeks? When I took my first steps into the startup world, the maze of fundraising seemed bewildering. Imagine, a kid in grade 6 trying to comprehend algebra for the first time. That was me, trying to make sense of seed funds, VCs, and angel investors. Bootstrapping? A word of advice from my journey: If you can make your dream work without external money, stick to it. But, if you need a push, start with those closest to you. My first backers were those who've seen me grow – friends and family. It's like to when your classmates believe in a wild school project idea not because it's genius, but because they believe in you. Investment here is based on trust, not your pitch deck. During one fateful family dinner, a cousin felt the spark of my vision and backed it. The magic? This backing led to an introduction to an angel investor, initiating a cascade of opportunities. I can't stress enough the role of personal networks. All this happened within 4 weeks of 3 meetings with the angel investor. Friends and family don’t just invest in products; they invest in you. But what if you don't have that rich uncle or cousin? To survive today, you need more than just a brilliant idea. You need the gut and grit to bring it to life. Today's founders are leaner, smarter, and more technical. If you're venturing into this world, my advice: hone your skills, cherish your personal networks, and pick your investors wisely. To all budding founders: may your journey be rewarding and may you find the perfect partners to turn your dreams into reality! 💡🌟 #StartupJourney #FundingTips #FounderLife GLOBALIFY

Here’s a little startup secret: Want to get better at fundraising? Start angel investing.

Founders should learn to think like angel investors.

It's been a fascinating couple of weeks at the Wealthing group. After much deliberation, we have decided to limit our Investment Club's onboarding period to one month per year: May.
