🦄 vs 🐪
Instead of the unicorn, I think the camel is a more fitting mascot for startups that are more susceptible to macroeconomic shocks.
Camels can survive the scorching desert heat, adapt to extreme variations in climate, and thrive in some of the Earth’s harshest conditions for long periods without sustenance.
When entering a desert which one would you rather be?
In tough market conditions, camels offer early-stage startups across industries and sectors valuable lessons on how to survive through economic crisis.
Founders of Camel startups understand that building a successful business starts with a strong foundation that is built to last.
They focus on being:
1) Resilient – they focus on long-term, balanced growth
2) Cautious – they’re financially conservative, hire the right team, and focus on building technology shapes industries for the better
3) Committed – they’re dedicated to business-building fundamentals and stress positive unit economics right from the get go
4) Adaptive – they’re constantly iterating based on constructive customer feedback
Investors – in the elusive search for unicorns, don’t forget startup camels.

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 […]
