Chatwin Ventures

Negli ultimi mesi, più di sempre, mi sono ritrovato a parlare con numerosi #founder con bisogno di aiuto nelle attività di #fundraising e più in particolare per avere delle dritte sul #crowdfunding. Vuoi il periodo non proprio favorevole, vuoi che i co-founders erano tutti impegnati al 110% nell'execution del core business, ed ecco assistere ad un'ecatombe di raccolte con tempistiche dilatate in 6-12 di mesi. Una volta raccontato come Over Ventures può essere d'aiuto (e non sempre può esserlo ovviamente), ci si è presi il tempo necessario a decidere il da farsi, lasciando la palla agli imprenditori. Come in tutti i processi di vendita, ovviamente molti di questi interlocutori non si sono più fatti sentire, salvo poi ricomparire dopo qualche mese con post apocalittici su Linkedin, relativi alla difficoltà di raccolta, alla non bontà del crowdfunding, alla mancanza di #VC in Italia e chi più ne ha più ne metta... Sarebbe stato molto più semplice ascoltare e approfondire con un team di esperti qualche mese prima, e capire come sfruttare al meglio tutti gli strumenti a disposizione per poter raggiungere dei risultati in tempi brevi, e invece no, la colpa è sempre del "destino" o in generale degli "altri". Così, per il #crowdfunding, abbiamo deciso di lanciare un'iniziativa, assieme ad alcuni partner, volta a favorire l'accesso a #bestpractice e strumenti proiettati al successo. Nasce il #CrowdfundingAccelerationProgram, un programma a pagamento di 4 settimane, in cui esperti italiani ed internazionali forniscono il #toolbox per il successo a 20 aziende selezionate da Over Ventures e i principali portali di crowdfunding italiani ed europei.

*Save the Date* Ad un anno dall'avvio del mercato europeo dell'equity crowdfunding, noi di Over Ventures, grazie alla nostra attività internazionale con i principali #portali, #operatori, #investitori e #imprenditori, abbiamo deciso di presentare, grazie al sostegno e il supporto di Italian Tech Alliance un report descrittivo del mercato, le sue sfaccettature locali ed evoluzioni. Giovedì 5 Dicembre, a Milano, presso Le Village by CA Milano lanceremo il primo EUROPEAN EQUITY CROWDFUNDING LANDSCAPE. Lo faremo anche con un panel d'eccezione con protagonisti del mondo del #venturecapital e delle #startup.

Da un po' di anni ormai su Telegram sono nate delle #community di #angels e #crowdfunders che giornalmente si confrontano sui temi relativi al mondo #startup italiano ed internazionale dalla prospettiva dei piccoli retail investors. Gruppi di persone che hanno condiviso o condividono piccoli e grandi investimenti nelle aziende del presente e del futuro. Dal momento che però non si è mai riuscito a creare un ambiente di confronto sincero e trasparente, abbiamo insieme ad alcuni amici e colleghi, di aprire un nuovo canale, chiamato #ItalianVentureScene dove far convergere #investitori e #operatori del mondo angel investing e venture capital italiano, per condividere best practice, esperienze e suggerimenti. Vi lascio il link quì - https://lnkd.in/deAvShn7 Vi aspetto online
