Yesterday, I shared insights on what Startups look for in Investors. Today, let's uncover what prompts Investors to invest in a Startup, inspired by discussions at the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival. So, what is most important for the investor? Is it: - the novelty of the startup idea, or - its alignment with trending markets like fintech or e-commerce? Surprisingly, no. The top priority for investors is: - the Founders - their mindset, confidence, and unwavering belief in their vision. Only then follow: - Team: people and their skills demonstrate the startup's ability to get things done. - Novelty of the idea: how the product is differentiated. - Performance: not necessarily the number of clients; it can be app downloads, site visits, and other indicators. Investors also underscored the importance of Founders being adept at selling and pitching. Practice extensively to become a confident presenter. This approach resonates with me as it underscores that first off is the personality, it's you. The trust is given to the human and not the thing. Kudos to presenters Faisal Juma Khalfan Belhoul AlFalasi - J&F Holdings LLC, Suhail Algosaibi – Tenmou, Yousef Hammad - BECO Capital, Aby Sam Thomas - Entrepreneur Middle East and organizers Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa), Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park) #leadership #enterprenuership #venturecapital #startup #startupfunding #pitching #middleeast #sharjahef

Have you ever wondered why Israeli start-ups are the most successful 🤔 Despite a population of only around 9.5 million, Israel has the second-highest number of companies listed on NASDAQ, right after the United States. What drives the success of Israeli startups? Let's explore the top five reasons: 1. Fail, Fail Fast, and Fail Forward: In Israel, failure is a stepping stone to success. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to take risks, learn from failures, and pivot quickly to seize new opportunities. 2. Strong Focus on Research and Development: Israel invests heavily in R&D, spending about 4.9% of its GDP—one of the highest rates globally. This substantial investment fuels innovation and keeps Israeli startups at the forefront of technological advancements. 3. Special Focus on Education and Brain Power: Israel’s robust education system emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Continuous learning and intellectual growth are highly valued, providing a solid foundation for entrepreneurial success. 4. Chutzpah: This cultural trait, often called audacity or boldness, propels Israelis to challenge norms, push boundaries, and think innovatively. Chutzpah is a crucial driver of their entrepreneurial spirit and success. 5. Mandatory Military Service: Every Israeli citizen serves three years in the military, instilling discipline, leadership, and teamwork. This experience equips young Israelis with crucial skills and a strong network, fostering a culture of collaboration and resilience. These elements create a thriving environment for innovation and entrepreneurship, making Israel a powerhouse for successful startups. #StartupNation #Israel #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #RandD #Education #Chutzpah #MilitaryService #BusinessSuccess #TechStartups #Leadership #LinkedInLearning #MBA #NASDAQ #IIM
