π·πCan 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!
ππDespite #COVID19 pandemic being presented as an utter doomsday, #entrepreneurs have carved out niches and bucked expectations. And in all honesty, itβs not the first time this has happened. Disney and Uber, held strong and grew during the Great Depression and last decadeβs 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 β

π·π What will the lasting impact of the pandemic be in 2021?
ππ€§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 overβ
What will the entrepreneurship world look like after COVID-19β

ππNew Q3 insights in the Status of Venture Capital Report 2020!
The VC industry continues to be very active against the pandemic headwinds. In Q3, we saw lots of deal activity and ample deal values, enough to top last yearβs numbers. Weβll be particularly diving deeper into whatβs driving the massive expansion of late-stage activity as well as the exit environment, both of which are booming!
πGlobal VC deal value reached $84bn in Q3, a 34% jump since Q2, and a 39% increase from the same period last year.
πAt $1.9 Billion, Seed Funding In Q3 Was Down Only 8% Since Last Quarter
πEarly-Stage Funding Also Racked Up $14 BN Deal Value In Q3
πLate-stage total deal value dropped only 2% since last quarter with 1050 rounds raising $33.7 billion.
In conclusion, in Q3 there was a shift in Capital and instead of correction, Investors are risk-adjusting their portfolios, allocating capital into later-stages vs. earlier-stages, and into hot industries vs negatively affected industries.

TAM, SAM & SOM! Whatβs behind these letters and how to calculate these indicators?
ππ¨βπ«If you have ever presented your startup to an investor, you probably came across the question βWhatβs your TAM? SAM? SOM?β Itβs quite hard to answer on the spot - you should know your target marketβs structure and the productive capacity of your startup in detail.
