🔥 Startup Digest Portugal | Validate your idea | Week #15 🔥 Olá and Welcome back to your Startup Digest Portugal!! In the world of #entrepreneurship and #innovation, ideas spark the fires of innovation, ignite the engines of change, and hold the potential to transform the world. Yet, not all ideas are created equal, and not every spark will ignite a blaze. The topic of #validating #ideas and finding the right one to work on is crucial for any entrepreneur. This topic came to mind as I anticipate a very useful workshop scheduled for tomorrow at Build Up Labs - startup studio & incubator Validating a #startupidea is crucial for several reasons: helps confirm whether there is actual demand for the product or service you intend to offer; provides valuable feedback that allows you to refine and iterate on your initial concept; helps you avoid wasting resources on ideas that may not succeed; attracting investors; helps you make informed decisions about where to allocate resources and prioritize efforts; and boost confidence among team members, stakeholders, and potential customers. The cost of launching a concept that hasn't been properly validated can be staggering – in terms of financial losses, wasted time, and shattered dreams. Yet, the rewards of successful idea validation are equally substantial Overall, validating your startup idea is essential for increasing the likelihood of success, reducing risk, and ensuring that you're building a product or service that addresses real market needs. 🚨 #SIMConference (Startups & Investment Matching) powered by Startup Portugal will take place in #Porto from May 2-4, and is set to match Entrepreneurs, Startups, and Investors!

🔥 Startup Digest Portugal | Community | Week #18 🔥 Olá and Welcome back to your Techstars Startup Digest Portugal!! I recently was present at the SIM Conference (Startups & Investment Matching) in Porto, hosted by Techstars Startup Digest. This event, held at the Alfândega do Porto, aimed to foster the country's thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. Remarkably, the first edition itself attracted over 2,000 attendees, setting its position as a landmark event for Portuguese Startups. #SIMconf also featured the prestigious Techstars Academy, making it a truly enriching experience. That brings me to what ‘community’ means to the Startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs. #Community could be defined as a group of people who’ve come together with a shared purpose. That shared purpose could be a product, a company, a topic, or it could be whatever, but they’re all there intentionally around that thing to gather and talk and learn. A thriving community is a most valuable asset for any ecosystem, it boosts innovation, scales ideas and resources, streamlines support and success, reinforces network connectivity, and provides crucial insights. It’s up to us - entrepreneurs, community builders, startups, partners, and investors - to build a lively and dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem. We are the main protagonists. Community is the beating 💙 that keeps the rest of the ecosystem running. 🚨 Techstars Startup Weekend Alcácer next May 24!

2024 promises to be another challenging year for startups. What’s worth considering❓ ◼ The majority of investors don’t really believe in the 2024 valuation increase. In fact, many think valuations will continue to drop ◼ Late-stage startups are more vulnerable to market shifts than the early-stage ones ◼ Sector significance is growing, and it’s getting less likely for #startups to secure funding in the second-choice industries  ◼ Increasing your startup value is the number one trend now. Given that market vulnerability increases as you approach the late stage, it’s crucial to get the necessary help by that time 📌 It’s clear: investors are rooting for more grounded and realistic valuations. The best way to meet the expectations is to back your startup up with advanced tech. At Honeycomb Software, we’re dedicated to startup success and are ready to leverage our best skills - comment or DM to learn what’s on our list 🧑💻 #softwareengineering #softwaredevelopment
