📈🚀Investors are tripping over one another to give hot start-ups money

😷🌐At the onset of the #covid19 pandemic, warnings of an impending doom for the startup ecosystem were unbridled. hose largely faded after the initial shock of the coronavirus wore off. Now, as the new reality of isolation supercharges the adoption of tech products and services, the sentiment has flipped even further — in to a frenzy of deal making.

💥This frenzy helped startups amass $36.5 billion in funding in the Q3, up to 30% more from the previous year, according to CB Insights. Startups have raised 223 “mega-rounds” of $100 million or higher so far this year, on a pace to surpass last year’s total, according to PitchBook Data.

💸The boom is being fueled not just by higher demand for digital products and services. Low interest rates are pushing investors to seek returns in ever-riskier assets and venture firms have raised record levels of capital!

📣This raises one important question, “For how long will this frenzy growth continue?

⚠️🚀What mistakes do startups make when pitching to investors?

In our latest InnMind interview with Melina Sánchez, evangelist of impact tech investing and investor at Impact First Investments, Israel’s first impact investment platform, we tried to lighten the shadows within the topic of impact investing and understand better how do impact venture capitalists work and make investment decisions. Watch the full interview to learn about:

✔️What is the difference between traditional venture capital investing and impact tech investing ❓
✔️How to choose a good impact startup ❓
✔️What are incorrect stereotypes or conceptions of impact VC firms ❓
✔️Where is the highest concentration of impact tech startups and why Israel is a special hub for impact tech startups ❓

TAM, SAM & SOM! What’s behind these letters and how to calculate these indicators?

🚀👨‍🏫If you have ever presented your startup to an investor, you probably came across the question “What’s your TAM? SAM? SOM?” It’s quite hard to answer on the spot - you should know your target market’s structure and the productive capacity of your startup in detail.

Why are these indicators so important ❓

👛The potential value of your startup in several years and return on investment are calculated on the basis of TAM/SAM/SOM. Any savvy investor will, most certainly, ask you about these!

At InnMind we took matters into our own hands, to make clear once and for all what these indicators mean and how to calculate them!
