💰💸$60BLN DEFI MARKET: IMPACT ON VC BEHAVIOUR!

Even if you feel critical towards the crypto finance and tokenized startups’ space, you should keep an eye on what’s going on in this sector in 2021. And it’s going crazy!

📈The Decentralized finance (known as DeFi) keeps hitting new highs in its most popular metrics: starting from an aggregate $600 million in assets in 2019, DeFi protocols have grown to nearly a million users, $40 billion in assets and nearly $60 billion in market capitalisation in 14 short months.

👉Another, lesser-known milestone: back in September 2020 DeFi startups crossed half a billion dollars raised in venture capital funding.
Today there are more than 200 known VC funds investing in DeFi space, which ensures that the number of VC investments will grow significantly in 2021!

📈📊How to get prepared for a startup due-diligence: an ultimate guide for startup founders and investors’ opinion !

📝Business due-diligence (shortly called “DD”) is commonly associated with audit. In practice it’s an examination of a company from every angle at the end of the financial year, before an important contract is signed or prior to attracting investors’ capital, merger & acquisition etc.

InnMind will fill you in on everything you need to know about startup due-diligence and what most active investors in Europe, Israeli and US (Oskar Stachowiak, Anton Fedorov, Victoria Mehran) think to be the most important part in the process of startups' due-diligence for the funding round.

🚀🏆The secret startup weapon no one talks about: Befriending competitors

🏅Many probably already know that it’s important to keep an eye on the competition. You want to continually analyse what they’re doing in order to learn from their approach and understand where you can stand out.

✔️One major goal of befriending the competition is to set up a future opportunity to acquire them. Another is providing you a lot of opportunities to collaborate.

✅And even if there isn’t a clear opportunity to work with a competitor, it’s still good to build the relationship because your competition might become a little less competitive!
