Raising with SAFE? Use high-resolution fundraising to gain extra momentum. Described by Paul Graham, "hi-res" consists in offering more attractive terms to the first few investors to create a sense of urgency. For example, let's say you plan to raise $500k at a $4M cap. Instead, you could do a tranche of $150k at $3M cap, then another tranche of $250k at $6M cap, and finally a last tranche of $100k at $7M cap. Doesn't cost you more equity and gives you an extra hook to reel in the first checks. 🎣 #startup #venturecapital #funding

At 186 Ventures we spend a fair amount of time thinking about what non-obvious trends may be in motion or may exist around the corner. As a generalist early stage investment strategy, these 2024 trends inform how we think about the world and our approach to partnering with founders. Big thank you to Stéphane Nasser and the rest of the OpenVC team for publishing this piece on what myself, Julian Fialkow, and Sophie Panarese are keeping at top of mind as we enter into what should be one of the best vintages in recent times to invest in seed stage tech enabled startups. https://lnkd.in/exTzRPDU

“It’s like AA for founders” Not my words (I will be stealing them), but the description from one of Founder Funding Group attendees on Tuesday. In the current tough funding climate with rounds stretching out for months and sometimes seeming to make slow progress, knowing that other #founders are going on a similar journey can be a life-saver. A massive thank you for such an open and honest discussion to: Felix Robinson Stuart Logan 👩⚕️ Emma-Louise Fusari RGN Ben Armstrong Jennifer Bailey Chris Fernandes Lewis Sayes We discussed what tools to use to help find investors: Pomanda, shipshape.vc and OpenVC all got a mention. And finally, the biggest question of all, “I’ve been offered £[x]k for [y]% of my business… should I take the deal?” If you want to know the outcome, you'll have to come along to the next Founder Funding Group Manchester sessions on Wednesday 22nd November @ 2pm and Tuesday 5th December @ 1pm (links are in the comments).
