At HETCH we believe startup success is fueled by learning from the best. That’s why we host Investor Fireside Chats every month. This October, we welcomed VC firms PSV and byFounders from Copenhagen. Here are some of the key takeaways. 👉 Focus on building a business, not just fundraising Start with building a business - validate the problem, build the product, and get some customers, instead of building a pitch deck and try to book meetings with investors. Traction trumps ideas. 👉 Everything starts with the founding team The founding team is a startup’s first challenge, setting a founder team, and aligning the founders around roles, tasks and goals. 👉 Nordic founders score lower on vision than US founders Being visionary means painting an image of where the world is heading, telling the story of why their specific company will be part of that exciting new future. Nordic founders need to improve on their visionary skills, while maintaining the focus on execution. 👉 What metrics are VC:s looking at Potential returns in the range of 50-100x, and show a clear path to reaching $100M in annual revenue within eight years. Market wise, a TAM of $1B is considered too small. 🗒️ We wrote a longer piece on the topic that you can find here: https://lnkd.in/dS4NP3cf Johannes Ivarsson Sebastian von Wildenrath Wegmann Daniel Stenson

🏆 Let’s shine a spotlight on one of our stars from Batch V – Proplab 📈 They’re redefining revenue growth for real estate owners with their AI unique solution. Why did we handpick Proplab for our accelerator? 🚀 We recognized a winning combination: deep industry competence, the strategic use of AI, and a team that knows how to get things done. But most of all, it was the co-founder and CEO, Naomi Hamilton’s relentless eagerness to learn and embrace challenges that caught our attention. She’s a true executor who consistently takes projects from A to B when given the opportunity. Now we are looking for the next founder to support and accelerate. Are you the one? Apply to our accelerator program that starts in january: https://lnkd.in/dUTWj3Rd

Let us introduce our magical startup advisor, Ninni Lindertz! Straight outta the sauna in Finland, Ninni’s journey has been nothing short of epic. She kicked things off as Brand Manager at Riot Games, Country Marketing Manager, and Brand Manager for Europe at Nike. Continued her journey Meta Facebook and kept the momentum going at Sonos, Inc. as Marketing and Brand Director. ⭐️ Now she’s here with us at HETCH (and involved in some other cool projects, though in our dreams, she'd be full-time with us). She’s a total brand marketing pro, having worked with some of the world’s top brands. She’s seen the digital world evolve from the ground up, and has always been at the forefront of tech and marketing. Ninni’s going to be working mainly with our startups that are in the scaling and growth phase. But you’ll definitely see her around in the accelerator program - and she’s always ready for a curious chat, wherever you are on your startup journey. 🚀
