DEM Partners

So, you have this brilliant idea of a breakthrough product or an innovative service and don't know where to start. Or you know exactly where to start and were able to pull in FFF’s (yes, you know what it stands for) money, to work on your concept, blueprints, and early prototypes. And you probably had some luck tapping into your network, to get interest and funds from angels and micro-VCs, to develop your first prototype – or even MVP (we hope you know this one, too). This brings you to a late pre-seed or early seed stage, in VC’s parlor. But what next? Do you know what to do in order to achieve enough growth and traction in the next 12-18 months, to get you to the next milestone of $400-500K in revenues? Where to find your first employees who would buy your idea and vision enough to work long hours at below-market rates? How to connect with and pitch to the potential institutional investors, and how to negotiate your first term-sheet when you finally get one? None of this is easy – but dealing with all of the issues at about the same time would present a formidable challenge for the first-time entrepreneurs. The good news is that we could help you to get from where you are to Series A. DEM Partners is a community of former co-founders and graduates of top-tier accelerators, with first-hand experience in running early stage startups in such diverse industries as consumer, healthtech, fintech, and Industry 4.0.
