I just went through a report published by Goodx entitled, “Angel Investor’s Thoughts On Startup Exit”. This particular graph caught my attention.
It clearly illustrates that investors tend to have very high expectations of required returns when investing in pre-seed and seed rounds in particular.
The inherent risk posed to investors is one of the main reasons behind why 9 out of 10 startups fail to raise pre-series A funding.
What does this mean for founders? It highlights that fundraising takes more time than you think and that consistent communication is important in convincing investors.

1,000km, sustainable, efficient , no onboard pilot: How ‘Gap Drone ’ is rewriting the rules of remote logistics
Can autonomous drones solve Australia’s “tyranny of distance”? GAP Drone CEO Liesl Haris thinks so. With the launch of ATLAS—an autonomous transport logistics aircraft system—the company is bypassing traditional infrastructure to deliver 50kg payloads over 1,000km. Dubbed the “Uber of airfreight,” GAP Drone is tackling the “too hard basket” of remote logistics, partnering with Australia Post to provide First Nations communities and regional hubs with reliable, low-cost access to medicine, food, and economic opportunity. By operating within current regulatory frameworks and utilising a “no-runway” launch model, GAP Drone is transforming air freight from an expensive luxury into a scalable utility.
