Editor's Notes
- BUSINESS CREATION IS THE JOURNEY FROM A TO B (IDEA TO SUCCESSFULL EXIT)FF&FBasINVEST: Regional, Universities, Special Funds (Early Stage like BAMS)VCs: From local VCs to InternationalPEs: larger VCsCapital Markets: IPOs ou strategic partners trade outSome matrix:IRR: 50% means project value doubbles every 21 months and 70% every 16 monthsSales: A VC doesn’t invest if a large market access is not proven
- don’t do it for the small effectDon’t do it with too much financial struggle, you may not be productive and there will be no resource to take it over from youThe US model is to start with the millions. I would prefer to end with the millions. Too much capital makes you too bold and far too distant from day to day realities of business creationCASH CASH CASH, that is what matters. Clients first but also to the extend resonable, spend less. Be carefull also not to be too stingyNetworking is essential but don’t waste time and money on extensive market researchs. Disruptive technologies are creating new markets from scratch and can not be discovered by market studies.Talk to Bruno, it is your best chance;-) Regions are keen to stimulate economical activity, take advantage of it. But it is a maze and you will need a guide. Talk to Bruno or myself.Quality investor is essential (added value and personal fit)Debt is a good thing but very dangerous when there is no cashflowYou need to be open mind about how you are going to do it, the results is what matters…Tips are fine but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Just go for it.
