Raising venture funding has become more challenging than ever. With valuations plummeting and most funds tied up in existing ventures, the environment is far from ideal for entrepreneurs seeking capital. This shift underscores the importance of non-dilutive funding. True pre-seed VCs, ready to invest in just an idea, are rare. Most demand substantial data, prototypes, and progress. While some entrepreneurs can bootstrap with personal funds, most can't. This is where research funding becomes critical, especially in healthcare where early-stage development is deeply rooted in research and science.

📢📢Today, we had our kick-off for Stage 2! ▶️Simone Pies, Business and Impact Investor, was in charge of launching this new stage, which will focus on investment, scalability, internationalization, and investment readiness. ▶️During the panel titled "Ready for Investors? What It Takes to Get There!", Simone explained what investors are looking for in startups: from market potential and scalability to team strength. Of course, they also analyze product fit, traction, and financial data. ▶️However, to know which investor to approach, you need to understand them: ✅Angel Investors: FFF funding rounds, early stage. They involve more risk, smaller amounts, and typically equity. ✅After angels: Series A. Involves less risk, higher amounts, and equity. ✅Companies & complementary industries: They provide resources, technology, market access, and scaling opportunities. ✅Private equity: They look for mature companies and focus on profitability and long-term growth. ✅Crowdfunding: Early stage, does not involve equity. ✅Government loan: Any stage, no equity involved. 🎙️Additionally, Simone gave us some advice on how to identify the investors we need: “It’s important to know what type of investor you’re dealing with and to research them thoroughly, using tools like LinkedIn to gather more information. Keeping your LinkedIn profile up to date is crucial for this. Additionally, factors like the industry sector and geography are key. Alignment in vision, values, and company culture is equally important for a successful partnership”. Thank you very much, Simone, for sharing your insights! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #CleanTech #Startups #UPM #growth #sustainability #cleancities #smartcities #investors ClimAccelerator Climate-KIC EIT Climate-KIC Spain Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
