🚫💰How Fake Investors Trick Money out of Startups!

📣We want to address a very dangerous topic: investors’ scams. While this topic is severely undervalued by mass media, seems that the activity of fake investors has increased during the pandemic!

👤They may have a nice investors profile and even well-designed LinkedIn account, they may have a corporate email and a fancy looking company website. But in reality, their ugly plan is to play on the vulnerable point of all startup entrepreneurs!

In the InnMind blog you can find examples of scam e-mails and messages that these fake investors use and see for yourself! Read the full article and protect yourself and your startup from scams!👇

📖🚀Why Storytelling is Important for Startups? Tell us your story!

👀Every startup has an incredible story to share with the world. Some stories are centered around an “Eureka!” moment. Others may be stories of friends or family members that team up to start a business rooted in a specific mission and meet the needs of its target audience.

📝It’s important to share the story of your startup, from humble beginnings to where it is now in the present day, for several reasons. Storytelling gives us the chance to share who is behind the business and its purpose, or mission, with its audience.

🇬🇧💷The UK government will reportedly buy stakes in tech startups!

Financial Times sources say the country is establishing a "Future Fund: Breakthrough" effort that would spend up to £375 million (about $522 million) on stakes in "later stage" tech startups.

👀According to some rumours, every investment would range into the "tens of millions of pounds" and would be matched by private funds. It would focus on a relatively small number of larger companies.

💰A fund like this would raise questions👇

Are there any mechanisms to avoid favoritism❓
Would residents be happy knowing they've effectively become venture capital investors❓

💰📈Are YOU are prepared for a fundraising? What are those essentially important things all investors want to see?

📆🎙In 2018-2021, InnMind organised hundreds of interviews with the top VCs and business angels from Europe, Silicon Valley, Israel, and Asia. During interviews we asked investors about most important criteria of the startups' evaluation, critical information they require on different stages and other elements that finally bring them to the decision to invest in a startup or not.

👇Here are some of the most interesting answers they gave us👇

✔️ Over 85% of investors consider market data to be essentially important for making investment decision
✔️ Every second investor would avoid financing a startup without a marketing strategy
✔️ Over 90% of investors mentioned among the TOP startup mistakes the lack of clear and detailed business model

🚀💰Not all startups want to take VC funding. But what are their alternatives in Europe?

🌐👀Headlines about large valuations and big funding rounds hide the fact that a huge number of venture-backed startups fail. And yet, that’s part of the game plan: most VCs expect three out of 10 of their investments to fail completely.

This leads to VCs hedging their bets on one or two startups and reserving follow-up funding for them. It also leads to pressure to grow quickly, take further investment and exit.

📊Investment into women-led companies has dropped to 2% globally. According to Atomico’s State of European Tech report 2020, 62% of founders of colour found it hard to raise VC.
