VC Fundraising Deck Template: Carta x Kauffman FellowsNihar Neelakanti
Carta and Kauffman Fellows present a venture capital fundraising deck template highlighting the various components a GP should include as part of their fundraising story to attract limited partners.
The SaaS sector is undergoing a ‘reset’: on the public side, revenue multiples went down from 17x a year ago to 6x today. On the private side, funding is down 42% in Q3 with similar trends observed in the US and Europe. What does this mean for European and Israeli SaaS companies? In this presentation, we will dive deeper into:
- How should founders think about their company valuation?
- Are public markets overcorrected?
- How are the public market dynamics impacting the private funding market?
- Will we see a flurry of down round for the 120+ Cloud Unicorns created in Europe and Israel over the past few years?
- Which top 100 companies have been selected for the 2022 Accel Euroscape?
As NFT projects continue to pop up and censorship woes become a reality, decentralized storage has become a beacon of hope for many. Let’s check out how much the decentralized storage sector has grown!

(Pitch Deck): How FTX raised over $1 billionPitch Decks
FTX was arguably the market-leading cryptocurrency exchange before it's highly-publicized liquidity crisis and ensuing bankruptcy filing in late 2022.
FTX (once valued over $32 billion) collapsed in a matter of days in November 2022 after it was revelaed that founder Bankman-Fried had secretly shifted $10 billion of FTX customer deposits to Alameda.
Despite their recent failures, one cannot overlook that FTX was incredibly successful in fundraising in a challenging environment:
They raised their first seed round in 2018 in the midst of the crypto-winter, and raised over $1.8 billion since.
FTX raised multiple rounds led by Sequoia, with participation from notable VC funds like Tiger Global, Softbank, Lightspeed Venture Partners, ICONIQ Growth, and more.
Here's an inside look at an FTX pitch deck from May 2021, presumably used to raise their $1B Series B round announced in June of the same year:

Top 8 Insights From the 2018 Beauty, Health & Wellness SurveyL.E.K. Consulting
Think nutritional supplements and skincare are of interest only to consumers of a certain age? Think again. According to L.E.K. Consulting’s third installment of a biennial survey of the healthy living marketplace, this one focusing on nutrition and skincare, some 80% of health and wellness (H&W) consumers across generations — from millennials to baby boomers — are highly engaged with both categories.

Together these insights make clear that consumer interest in nutritional supplements and skincare often lasts a lifetime.

Cognizant is the only company to earn a place in the list of Forbes fastest growing technology companies every year since the list’s inception. Its intriguing growth leaves us inquisitive – is there a framework to excel? Has Cognizant found the same? It is known that the book Built to Last by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras influenced Francisco D’Souza (CEO of Cognizant) the most. He is committed to establish a “cult like” culture focused on core values. But, beyond this, does their dual mandate of run better and run different have any role in their monumental growth? Cognizant is not only preaching about helping their clients to transform in order to run better and run different but also walking the talk by practicing the dual mandate within organization from its early days. This paper digs into Cognizant’s history and current trends to understand what they have done to run better and run different.

H1 2015 Venture Capital Financing in CanadaAmir Bashir
Developed a deep-dive summary of how venture capital was distributed across Canada in H1 2015. The report analyzed vc financing by location, industry and technology trend. I developed this report because I found publicly available information to be too broad for the insights I was looking for. Hopefully this will be more helpful to the community.
This report provides an evidence-based overview of developments in capital markets globally leading up to the COVID-19 crisis. It then documents the impact of the crisis on the use of capital markets and the introduction of temporary corporate governance measures.
At the end of the year, we often reflect on the current state of the venture market in technology. We are sharing it with our broader community in the hope that someone will find it informative, interesting or at least entertaining.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.
