The World of Traditional Fundraising

Mindhub Ventures, the technological ecosystem, was thrilled to host the webinar titled “From Traditional to Transformative: New Fundraising Trends and the Ecosystem” on July 12, 2023. During the webinar, Gil Solomon, Gil Solomon and Co. a firm centred around high tech and blockchain M&A, provided valuable insights into the world of traditional fundraising – angels, VCs and corporate investment entities..

Angel investors vary from one another in verticals and ticket size.

Venture Capital Funds: some of them are vertical focused, some of them are stage focused and their ticket size varies. Unlike their name suggests, they are usually risk averse and will prefer to invest in a company after it has had some traction. Early stage funds will look closely at the founders even before the company had traction, but that is not the standard. Repeat founders will have a huge advantage and less of a need to show traction.

The last one is corporate investment entities. This could be a corporate fund, an investment entity within the group or even an accelerator. Other than the investment, they offer great value in other segments such as market access, integration, etc.

A VC investment has a few advantages:

A ticket size that is usually larger than crowd funding and token offering.

They live in the same environment as the company and have connections in the field and therefore can open doors for the company.

The biggest bonus – those are accredited investors that are not subject to requirements in public offering and therefore raising with them does not require a prospectus.
