Most first-time founders automatically think that VCs are where it’s at. The crucial thing about venture, though, is the investment criteria.
VCs are only interested in the tiniest minority of ideas. In some ways, it doesn’t actually matter how likely you are to succeed. If your startup doesn’t tick the “power law” box (the law states that the vast majority of returns come from a tiny minority of deals), there’s almost no chance a VC will invest in you, even if your business is a sure thing.

It looks like a fund with no thesis. It is not really a fund.
An umbrella fund structure holds multiple single-purpose sub-funds, each with its own unit class and segregated assets held in the trustee’s name. Investors select an individual project rather than acquiring exposure to the whole portfolio, which means they carry concentrated exposure to that project and do not obtain diversification across the fund’s other investments.
What they took out paid for the production line
Flint’s paper battery is usually described by what it removes. Carlo Charles’s even more interesting point is that removing the materials also removed a lot of machinery, and that is why two products reached production on roughly US$4 million. Asked what is inside his battery, Carlo Charles starts with what is not. No lithium. No […]
