Why do not you need a round of A.


Over the past five years that I see start-ups, I noticed the following zakonomernoest. This is true for both Ukraine and Russia, and Europe and the U.S..
Now, I will paint case of successful start-up, followed by investors hunt.
Start-up raises angel round, makes a product that enters the market. ' Hit in the market ' means a growing demand for the service or product. If the startup apruvit business model, then he has a cache for infrastructure development. And then he drew the money for masshabirovanie BUSINESS (which means hiring tops, office building ), and secondly, infrastructure (assuming that the service is live on Amazon, or any other Claudia).
What we see in a briefcase startup does not need a round to enter the market, and so bring down klenty crowd. It is therefore not necessary to have a sales team - just obespechivatpravilnuyu conversion. This is true for b2c and b2b model, where small amounts of transactions. It is clear that if you deal in hh000 bucks, even if it should be good demand to close properly.
That this is the main threat trasli, especially funds that are focused on a round and small size. If a startup does not hit the market fit, then the probability of success drops sharply and foundations, working with start-ups are low quality Portela.
And at the top end, where start-ups work got in the market fit, a lot of competition between funds that provide exorbitant valyueyshny. Funds can not dip into the angelic raszmer transactions, and therefore there was a field for the accelerator ( which help to get into the market fit) and superangelov that help start-ups ' slip ' Round A.

Separate stone in the garden of startups that work push the market - sales of axially separated to spend efforts on the sale - a road to nowhere. Sooner or later a competitor will come with the product who are in the market fit, he will have CAS is lower than you, and you play.

It is clear that what I wrote, the ideal situation, but it should strive. Stephen Blenk to help you.
