🚨🚨🚨ELVISH BHAI K AAGEY KOI BOL SAKTA HAI KYA??🚨🚨🚨 ..... ..... WELL, KOI BOLE YA NA BOLE, HUM VCs(Venture Capital Firms) KAISE KAAM(WORK) KARTEY HAI USKI BAAT KARENGEY!! 🫡 ⚡ How do VC firms actually work? - If you INVEST in or know about MUTUAL FUNDS, you probably know there are hundreds of schemes offered by both large and small firms - DSP, PPFAS, SBI, AXIS and many more. - To invest, you pick the best ones and put your money in them. Now, each such mutual fund scheme has a FUND MANAGER who puts money on your behalf according to your RISK APPETITE. 🚀 VC FIRMS work similarly. They consist of professionals who RAISE a large sum of INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS from HNIs/ULTRA-HNIs(High Networth Individuals), Insurance firms etc., and INVEST the money on their behalf into STARTUPS. - VC firms promise RETURNS to their INVESTORS in a TIMELINE of 7-10 years. Hence, they themselves need to generate enough returns to give back to their investors. #startups #growthmindset #cofounders #linkedIn LinkedIn Guide to Creating #linkedInsales #ConnectX #entrepreneurship #dataengineer #fundraising #venturecapital

This is a terrific podcast with Alan Merriman of Elkstone speaking with Dave Byrne about venture investing in Ireland. Alan's comments on modern Ireland resonate with me as a member of the Irish diaspora. I only became aware of the vibrant Irish startup scene when I spent two months back "home" last year. That began a journey to today where we are about to launch the Digital Irish Venture fund, connecting the Irish diaspora with Irish founders. As Alan points out, there are many dimensions to this connection. Firstly, it is about capital. The number one issue for Irish founders is raising funds. The Irish diaspora in the US offers a new source of funds. Secondly, it is about meaningful connections. The fund provides a way to invest back in Ireland, to help the next generation of founders. And, this is not an altruistic venture. Ireland offers a great investment opportunity with innovative founders, global ambitions, and discounted valuations relative to the US. Finally, the Irish network in the US can be of enormous value to Irish startups as they enter this market through connections and advice. To pick up on the thread in the Podcast, I hope we look back in 5 years, not with embarrassment at where we started, but with pride in our impact.

Being an investor doesn't mean you know more than entrepreneurs! As a side event to the DigiEcon Global Investment Summit, we (nVentures) partnered with NDB Wealth Management Limited to deliver a workshop on how the startup investment landscape is changing in the region for HNIs and angel investors in Sri Lanka. Perspectives and strategies used by Accelerating Asia Ventures, Orvel Ventures and Tenity were shared with the participants, along with lessons learned. It was great to dive into aspects such as determining startup valuations, managing investment portfolios, negotiating terms, and establishing a reputation as a leading angel investor. Investor interest in startups has significantly grown during the past 24 months. We will roll out several products in the coming months to facilitate further investments in Sri Lanka.

Incredibly proud to share my angel investment into Alinea Invest!! 💜 The founders Eve Halimi and Anam Lakhani were my first ever feature on the Brydge Club podcast (after meeting on TikTok over a year ago). Pretty cool to see this come full circle. Here’s why I invested 💫 1. I understand the core problem Alinea Invest is solving. When I first graduated college, I had no idea how to get started investing. Even though I studied business at Wake Forest, personal finance was completely excluded from the curriculum. I very much resonate with the need for an approachable investing app, especially one that speaks to young women. 2. This is a massive, and growing market. The great wealth transfer will put $72 trillion into the hands of millennials and genz by 2043. Building trust and brand recognition with young investors now, represents a serious opportunity in the future. 3. Undeniable founder market fit. Eve and Anam are the perfect team to be building Alinea. They quit their jobs on Wall Street to build a more inclusive financial system. The team's clear passion for financial inclusion will keep them going day after day. 4. Impressive traction with a small but mighty team. I know this team will do whatever it takes. 💫 #AlineaInvest has 100M trending views on TikTok 💫 225K app downloads 💫 $1.8M revenue run rate p.s.
