I get asked all the time if I know of any good resources to get connected with the life science investor community. I'm not raising for dovetail biopartners (and don't ever plan too 🥾) but I still see the benefits of building relationships with people in that world. And I like to help out. So go fill out the application in this link if you're looking for a more traditional way to raise cash. And check out my last post about a webinar for non-traditional ways to raise.

Calling ALL Emerging VC Managers in my network 📢 This is worth applying for 👇 Jonathan, Gregor and their teams have put together a strong plan to help you accelerate your fund launch. If you're investing in European tech then that's good news for you. I've been speaking with both 1-2-1 and attended their latest webinar on it. I'm definitely convinced I'll throw my hat in the ring. 👊 If you're serious about building your firm to invest in European tech, you may consider doing it too. And if you think I'm silly for sharing and increasing the competition... Ok maybe don't apply. We have enough assholes in Europe thinking VC is a 0 sum game. Trust me: paying it forward and see what happens is a much better game to play. So yeah, go for it, and help us all make Europe a much better and stronger ecosystem if you think this is one for you 💪 A couple of answers I got that may be useful to you: - Do you need the fund to be domiciled in Europe or even legally launched yet? No, but you must be investing in Europe. And your goal should be to be to have the fund in object live in 2025 (even tail end) - Do you need a deck? It helps but if you are in between funds like me, you can come up with a pre-deck "something" and add to your old deck. - Is it in person? The core bits yes, but the schedule is easily manageable and will be synced with the LP/GP top events schedule next year, so you'd be silly to even want to be remote if you want to really raise a fund.

A novel (and wonderful!) approach to #longevity investing. And according to the data, likely a more successful one, as the most successful founders, at least by age, tend to be over the age of 45. Can’t wait to see what Katerina Stroponiati does with this. #founders #startups #VC

Rapid Fluidics has raised $5,210,000!! STOP! We haven't!! Don't go and hit the green "celebrate" icon! And certainly don't believe everything you see on the internet... I had a conversation recently about one business acquiring another one; I mentioned that I thought the acquired business had a fairly low value. "Don't believe everything you see, you should check out what's written about Rapid Fluidics". So I did. I found a variety of results including that we've apparently raised over five million dollars. We haven't, by a huge margin. Harmless mistakes, but it does give some people the wrong idea. To set the record straight: we received an IUK Smart Grant for further research a couple of years ago that was match-funded by some fantastic angel investors, all of whom I keep in contact with regularly. I did look into raising more, and I've mentioned my experience with the ignite accelerator learning how to do this. But in the short-term I've retained my focus on revenue for profit-driven organic growth. Its a full time job raising investment but our customers' needs come first. As we're growing and I'm getting more support, I'm now able to re-assess what the future looks like. And its good. #bootstrap
