After being highly active in the Swiss startup ecosystem, I've decided to explore the startup scene in the UK. As a result, I am currently attending the Tech.eu Summit in London, and it's truly fascinating to learn firsthand about the differences and similarities compared to Switzerland from startup founders and active investors. #startups #switzerland #uk #investors

Looking back at the first half of 2024, there is one highlight that clearly stands out – Participating at the Start Summit in St. Gallen jointly with the Swiss 27pilots team Kevin P Schmid, Linda Futterknecht, Christian Acél & William Pettersson.   🚀 Start Summit St. Gallen (CH) stands as one of the leading global Startup events - a "can't miss" opportunity for the Swiss 27pilot's team. The Venture Client Model is getting more and more traction and was one of the key topics discussed at Start Summit 💡. An increasing number of corporations realise it as the leading corporate venturing vehicle when it comes to strategically benefiting from Startup solutions at scale in a highly efficient and risk averse way.  Beyond the impact on corporations, the benefit for the overall Venture Ecosystem became apparent when talking to Startups and Venture Capitalists (VCs) alike. As corporations with a dedicated Venture Client unit are on average purchasing 10-50x more Startup solutions per annum, the proliferation of the model drives the top line growth of Venture Capital backed top Startups.

📈 Fascinating chart by Carta on valuations and fundraisings in Q4 2024. Compared to Q1 2021 (when things where « slightly » crazy with startups funding) : 1️⃣ The median valuation of seed startups is 40% above what it was 3 years ago, even as the amount raised has decried by almost 31%. 2️⃣ In later stages, notably series C and D, valuations have decreased by more than 40%.

But the average angel investor today doesn’t fit into that mold. Most people are surprised to learn that angels today invest $1-5k into startups, including our angels at Angel Squad.
