🇬🇧💷The UK government will reportedly buy stakes in tech startups!

Financial Times sources say the country is establishing a "Future Fund: Breakthrough" effort that would spend up to £375 million (about $522 million) on stakes in "later stage" tech startups.

👀According to some rumours, every investment would range into the "tens of millions of pounds" and would be matched by private funds. It would focus on a relatively small number of larger companies.

💰A fund like this would raise questions👇

Are there any mechanisms to avoid favoritism❓
Would residents be happy knowing they've effectively become venture capital investors❓

💰📈Are YOU are prepared for a fundraising? What are those essentially important things all investors want to see?

📆🎙In 2018-2021, InnMind organised hundreds of interviews with the top VCs and business angels from Europe, Silicon Valley, Israel, and Asia. During interviews we asked investors about most important criteria of the startups' evaluation, critical information they require on different stages and other elements that finally bring them to the decision to invest in a startup or not.

👇Here are some of the most interesting answers they gave us👇

✔️ Over 85% of investors consider market data to be essentially important for making investment decision
✔️ Every second investor would avoid financing a startup without a marketing strategy
✔️ Over 90% of investors mentioned among the TOP startup mistakes the lack of clear and detailed business model

💰💸$60BLN DEFI MARKET: IMPACT ON VC BEHAVIOUR!

Even if you feel critical towards the crypto finance and tokenized startups’ space, you should keep an eye on what’s going on in this sector in 2021. And it’s going crazy!

📈The Decentralized finance (known as DeFi) keeps hitting new highs in its most popular metrics: starting from an aggregate $600 million in assets in 2019, DeFi protocols have grown to nearly a million users, $40 billion in assets and nearly $60 billion in market capitalisation in 14 short months.

👉Another, lesser-known milestone: back in September 2020 DeFi startups crossed half a billion dollars raised in venture capital funding.
Today there are more than 200 known VC funds investing in DeFi space, which ensures that the number of VC investments will grow significantly in 2021!

📈📊How to get prepared for a startup due-diligence: an ultimate guide for startup founders and investors’ opinion !

InnMind will fill you in on everything you need to know about startup due-diligence and what most active investors in Europe, Israeli and US (Oskar Stachowiak, Anton Fedorov, Victoria Mehran) think to be the most important part in the process of startups' due-diligence for the funding round.
