Viviane Reding Reding proposal for board parity goals. INSEAD was one of the first business schools to join the effort (A Ludo VAN DER HEYDEN) Progress was celebrated, having arrived at an average of 30.6% female representation on boards of publicly listed companies in Europe (though there are disparities across countries with #france at 45.3% and #greece under 20%!) Yet a lot remains to be done with female board chairs remaining at 10%, female CEOs at 6.7% and the #vcfunding going to #female headed startups at 11%.

A Convertible Note is a technique that seed investors use to invest in early-stage businesses whose valuation is not yet determined. It is a short-term debt structured to a start-up investment that isn't ready to get evaluated yet. Once the company is valued, Convertible Note is changed into equity. The amount of the note and its accrued interest will convert into shares of the specified stock at the close of round A financings. For this reason, a convertible note will be easier to issue and comes with low legal fees for the company at that time. For example, an investment company buys $25,000 of convertible notes which carry an 8% interest rate and a 20% conversion discount. Within a period of 18 months after selling the convertible notes, the firm trades equity at $3.50 per share. Up to this point, the total interest for the notes will be $3000, and the total amount due to the notes will be $28,000. With a discount of 20%, each share will attract a conversion price of $2.80 and the investor will garner 10,000 shares of the fresh stock. If the investor was to buy the ordinary shares during standard financing, they would only receive 7,143 shares. So, there is a big perk for investing in a convertible note.

Women Founders: Breaking Barriers in VC Funding Despite challenges, women-founded startups are making strides in securing venture capital funding. While data from PitchBook shows women founders received only 2% or less of VC funding in Europe and the US for 2023, there are positive signs. The number of deals for women-led teams has grown more than twice as fast over the last decade compared to all-male-founded teams. The UK and France are leading the way in Europe for investing in women-founded startups, while San Francisco and New York are the top US cities. Software is the most common industry for women-founded companies to raise VC funding in Europe and the US. Looking globally, similar trends emerge. Though women-led startups in Africa represent only 1.5% of total funding raised, deal value is increasing. Less than 6% of startups in Asia Pacific have women founders, but Google is launching a fund to support women-led AI startups in the region. Interestingly, low-income countries show a higher rate of female entrepreneurship compared to the global average. Initiatives like the World Economic Forum's UpLink platform are working to empower women entrepreneurs. UpLink showcases companies like Lanforce Energy, a Zimbabwean social enterprise led by women that provides clean energy solutions. UpLink also fosters female investors, with Rekia Foudel of Barka investment fund highlighting the importance of women on the investing side.

. Conclusion: Secret was an innovative social media platform that capitalized on the desire for anonymous sharing among users. Despite its initial success and significant funding, Secret faced insurmountable challenges. The app's inability to control cyberbullying and harassment, combined with legal issues, led to a rapid decline in user engagement and eventual shutdown. Secret's story serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a safe and positive user environment, complying with legal standards, and being adaptable to user needs and feedback. Final Thoughts: The rise and fall of Secret highlight several key takeaways for entrepreneurs and developers. Ensuring robust moderation, fostering accountability, and adhering to ethical practices are essential for the longevity of any social platform. Learning from Secret's experience, future ventures should prioritize user safety, continuous engagement, and legal compliance to create sustainable success. While failure can be a setback, it also offers valuable lessons that can pave the way for future innovations. . . #Startup #TechStartup #Entrepreneur #StartupLife #Innovation #Business #Tech #App #SocialMedia

This week's bulletin roundup is all about mothers and feeling our feelings and rage. If you're not a mom, read more to find out how they're all connected. If you are a mom, I hope you'll find a little piece of yourself in it and I hope you know that you're loved and held and us non-moms are doing everything we can to help co-create better systems that better support you (and all of us really, so we can make sure that this world's children see a just and liberated future)! Dismantling these oppressive structures that seek to keep us small, disconnected, and in perpetual pain takes time and energy (and, unfortunately, money). Thankfully, this week, I'm not going off on Venture Capitalists... Instead, come read about an amazing US startup focused on pregnancy and postpartum care specifically for Black mothers that just got a huge chunk of funding! This is such important news that I'm so happy to share. (If you're a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan - hey, don't get mean, we all have our guilty pleasures - it all just fits perfectly with this week's episode about the high risks that our racially prejudiced systems of healthcare (and medical research, and med school teaching, and protocols) create for Black mamas. In case it's not clear, we have to think & act intersectionally if we are going to create "New Earth" together.

The preparedness of round documentation is a reasonable indicator of pre-money valuation, especially when you look at data rooms. Generally, the higher the pre-money valuation of a business, the more likely they are to have a data room. However, this appears to break down at very high valuations. A hypothesis here (can't test rn) would be that there's more division of labour for companies raising at higher valuations, therefore the person running investor research may not be tied to the rest of the preparation for a round. Not surprising, but interesting anyway! Series 6 in the infographic seems to be a bug of some sort. #capitalraising #startups #fundraising #founders #venturecapital #investors #vc #vcfunding #technology #startup #tech

How big are company teams when raising different rounds?

Aligning Incentives: The Danish Sound Toll If you want to see how the people within an organisation behave, look at their incentives. If you want to change how people behave, change their incentives. One of my favourite examples of using incentives to promote desired behaviours is the Danish Sound Toll. This leveraged commercial self-interest, to promote honest tax paying by merchants who really didn’t want to pay the tax. OK, so what was the Danish Sound Toll, and why did it exist? Denmark controlled the entrance/exit to the Baltic. It charged 1-2% on freight in and out of this commercial highway. This was highly lucrative, at its height generating 2/3rds of the Danish Government’s revenues. Why wouldn’t a merchant simply lie about the value of the cargo? A merchant in theory state the cargo was worth a lot less, and pay less tax… keeping more profit for themselves. The answer to preventing this lies in game theory, and a special clause as part of the Sound Toll. This clause meant, whatever the stated value of the cargo, Denmark reserved the right to buy it at that price. The power of incentives Merchants had no incentive to lose money by selling for below market-rate. Equally, they had no incentive to pay more tax by quoting a higher rate for the cargo. Thus, Denmark created an incentive for getting the right amount of tax, from merchants who otherwise had an incentive to reduce the amount of tax they paid. What does this have to do with Venture, or indeed anything? Simple: incentives matter. The Danish Sound Toll demonstrated that when you align incentives correctly, you can influence behavior in powerful ways. This principle applies not just to historical examples but also to modern-day business (in fundraising, or agreeing terms) and beyond. So, next time you're faced with a problem, or considering a deal on the table, take a good look at the incentives involved. Chances are, they hold the key to finding a solution and the best outcome. #capitalraising #startups #fundraising #founders #venturecapital #investors #vc #vcfunding #technology #startup #tech
Read the Caption! 🔻🔻🔻 I met the founders of my favorite rum brand, @donpaparum The company was recently acquired by @diageo I am still impressed that the company was bootstrapped, had only 30 employees, and produced over 3.5M bottles in over 30 countries. Some key takeaways: 1. Focus On Branding: Don Papa realized that the primary value driver besides the liquid was the branding and their incredible story from the Philippines. They ensured that the branding was always done in-house and passed on to the distributors and suppliers to have a consistent image. Select your partners carefully, and make sure your story is consistent. 2. Keep It Lean: 30 FTE at this size is impressive - a big mistake startups make is to over-hire. Only three people left the company in 12 years. Employee turnover is a critical metric, and a CEO who does not care about it should be fired. The loss of IP, morale, and time can not be underestimated. Don’t take your employees for granted; treat them well and include them in the process - you are only as strong as your weakest link. 3. Supply Chain Importance: Distribution is essential for any business and is often the make and break. Even in software companies, however, in web3, our distribution method is airdrops and Twitter. This is too simple, and controlling the quality is complex and often messy. Choose your partners wisely, and ensure they have the same spirit and idea of the brand. Ensure the supply chain does not break and communicates different values or stories to the end consumer.
