Early stage founders often ask me what to look for in follow up investors after their seed/ early A rounds. While the list below is full of great investors, don't get caught up trying to have the biggest name in your syndicate. Finding an investor who will invest not only money, but also time to help you realize your goals, has led to the best results. In a world with valuation over-hangs and flat rounds, the accessibility to your investors goes a long way.

📉 Exit activity has been slower than expected, with exit values at a decade low. 💸 In the first quarter of 2024, $79.2 billion in exits were reported, compared to $279.1 billion in 2023 and $293.3 billion in 2022. Private equity is navigating a tough, high-interest environment where deals are scarce. With exits harder to come by, the spotlight is now on maximizing value within portfolio companies. 🎯 What really stands out is the shift to more tailored strategies. The old “one-size-fits-all” method just doesn’t cut it anymore, especially in the middle-market space. Customizing approaches to fit each business’s needs is where the magic happens. #PE #PrivateEquity #Strategy #Growth #LokiGroup
