πŸ“ˆπŸš€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 β€” in to a frenzy of deal making.

πŸ’₯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 β€œmega-rounds” of $100 million or higher so far this year, on a pace to surpass last year’s total, according to PitchBook Data.

πŸ’ΈThe 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!

πŸ“£This raises one important question, β€œFor how long will this frenzy growth continue?

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

πŸš€πŸ‘¨β€πŸ«If you have ever presented your startup to an investor, you probably came across the question β€œWhat’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 ❓

πŸ‘›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!

πŸ˜·πŸ“ˆCan founders scale their startups during the pandemic?

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the forecast for entrepreneurs was dire: Expect major shutdowns and downsizing, said governments and business leaders alike. Nine months later, however, many of those predictions have proven to be surprisingly inaccurate. Rather than shuttering en masse, more than half of startups told researchers that they were financially on target or doing better than expected!

πŸŒπŸš€Despite #COVID19 pandemic being presented as an utter doomsday, #entrepreneurs have carved out niches and bucked expectations. And in all honesty, it’s not the first time this has happened. Disney and Uber, held strong and grew during the Great Depression and last decade’s Great Recession, respectively. What could this mean for you and your business?

How can you and your startup, carve out new ways to success in these changing times ❓

πŸ˜·πŸŽ„ What will the lasting impact of the pandemic be in 2021?

πŸ‘€πŸ€§The #covid19 pandemic caused entrepreneurs all over the world to scramble. Many businesses who relied heavily on traditional office environment, have since been forced to change their strategies and start working from home; in fact 42% of the U.S. workforce is now working from home full-time.

Those that depended on service customers in person, in some capacity, needed to figure out a way to deliver or serve digitally. And of course, many #entrepreneurs had to completely rethink their budgets in response to the economic impact of the pandemic.

But how is startup entrepreneurship going to change once this pandemic is over❓

What will the entrepreneurship world look like after COVID-19❓
