Fredrik Cassel spoke to The New York Times about some of the ingredients that went into Sweden’s outperformance, including the push to get a PC into every home in the 1990s that produced an ‘engineering generation’.

After exploring how to tranche your investor outreach and what makes a great data room, maybe you now have a choice of who to add to your cap table! This is an important decision and may be crucial to your company's success. In a piece from the archives, we look at how to select the right partners. 👉 Assess the investment team Look for diversity in background and experience. Can they bring fresh perspectives? 👉 Ask for any anti-references How do they handle adversity? 👉 Speak with founders they've worked with Companies followed up with, companies that have been ghosted, companies which have failed 👉 Find your own references Dig deep and avoid confirmation bias 👉 Ask targeted questions 'How has XX helped you specifically?', 'How do they handle conflicts of interest?', 'Would you fight to include them in future rounds?' Remember, it's not just about the money. You're choosing long-term partners who can add value to your company. Piece linked in the comments below.

Last week we shared how to run a smooth investor outreach process. This week, let's look at what makes a great data room. Although you might have perfected your investment deck, once you start the fundraising process there are a plethora of other materials investors who have shown interest will request from you. In another piece by Beata Klein, we explore what the ideal data room looks like for a seed stage company. We even include a template to help, with advice on your team page, how to explain your product, assembling a financial plan and more. Link to article in the comments section.
