💡 Pre-seed stage: How Early Validation Boosts Startup Success 💡 🚀 In a recent discussion, Andreas Fischer, Partner at First Momentum Ventures, shared a key insight about the importance of industrial networks at the pre-seed stage. While later-stage funds can open doors to dozens of connections during Series A, Andreas emphasized how one good pilot at pre-seed can make all the difference. 🚀 "Getting that early validation and traction not only helps startups raise their seed round but also increases their odds of success in future rounds." ☘️ At the end of the day, what founders get from investors like First Momentum is not just funding, it’s the increased odds of success through strategic introductions, early traction, and guidance. 👏 #VentureCapital #PreSeedStage #FirstMomentumVentures #IndustrialNetworks #AndreasFischer #WhatsInStoreShow #VC #StartupSuccess #EarlyValidation #Investments #SeedRound #GonzaloPerez #Entrepreneurship #PilotProjects #Traction
