A Startup Founder platform that is helping Startups In the world of StartUp Founders much help is provided to them by coaches and consultants.

South Summit Scale-up Series: London 🎡 South Summit was founded back in 2012. At the time, the economic crisis had darkened the business outlook in Spain, so the organisation grew with the strong belief that the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit would be the driving force to heal the economy. South Summit is currently running a series, the Scaleup Series, which kicked off in London on the 29th February. 👇 Read more here 👇 #Startups #StartupsMagazine #SouthSummit

I have been running One Million by One Million (1Mby1M) since 2010. I find myself saying to entrepreneurs ad nauseam that VCs want to invest in startups that can go from zero to $100 million in revenue in 5 to 7 years. Startups that do not have what it takes to achieve velocity should not be venture funded. Experienced VCs, over time, have developed heuristics to gauge what constitutes a high growth venture investment thesis. However, 9 out of 10 venture-funded startups do not attain the kind of velocity that yields Unicorn valuation. What happens to venture funded startups that fail to accelerate after Seed, Series A, Series B or later rounds of funding? Among other things, they fail to raise additional funding. Runway runs out. Companies fold up or get sold for cheap. Entrepreneurs lose years of their lives. Hopefully they learn. If they have the energy, they start another company. Yet, given that VCs invested in these companies after significant due diligence, these companies were considered high potential once upon a time. It is worth considering what went wrong.
