Hello! In honor of the fact that spring has finally arrived, we at Glavstart decided to launch the dating resource Wanted.vc , but we are not going to acquaint men with women, but investors with startups.
It may seem strange to someone, but let's think about how such an acquaintance is being built. You have your own project and you need investments. Suppose you have already spent the money of your friends and relatives. Where do you go next? In fact, there are 2 options:
In the first case, you will most likely receive a refusal either because the project is too early (most Russian funds enter the project in the late stages), or simply because the accents in the presentation were not correctly placed. The second time you are most likely not to apply to the same fund.
In the second case, you too may simply not have time to interest your project. All such events are similar to the television show “Love at First Sight” - it looks beautiful, there are successful stories, but if the relations were built only this way, the planet would have died out long ago.
Now remember how you met your beloved girlfriend. Perhaps someone instantly fell in love with an unearthly beauty and heavenly voice, and then she and him, and they lived happily ever after. In real life, everything happens not so: feelings do not always arise immediately, they are not always always mutual. And if the incident does not push people over and over - in pairs at the university, at work, on Facebook and Vkontakte, then usually nothing comes of it. So we decided to become such a case for project authors and investors. You have a real opportunity to take a closer look at each other and only after that understand whether it is worth tying your relationship with the bonds of an investment agreement.
If you have your own projects with a ready-made public prototype - Welcome!If not, then please do not create startups with the names “qwe”, “test”, “blabla”, etc. - then we still moderate it! :)
- You will make a beautiful presentation and start sending it to all the funds that you know.
- You will go to various events, where you will be given 2 - 5 minutes for a presentation. During this time, you will have to manage to interest investors in your project.
