SuperSeed’s Post

often ignored, in enterprise sales, startups need to undergo two layers of product/market fit Land: PMF with buyer Expand: PMF with user most startups never get that $MM expand as they don’t tightly project manage OR spend enough time with the team founders - you should be in office of your biggest clients, at least, once every/every other month to get the insider info and where focus is going (you can get opportunities before rest of market has a chance!)

Forum Ventures is investing in 10 more early-stage B2B SaaS companies before the end of 2024. With <1% acceptance rate in our last cohort, we're selective because it works. Here's what our founders say: "It's the only program that truly added value - no BS, fast, concrete, tailor-made, and conscious of our time." What makes Forum different: • Hands-on MDs who act like team members, not just advisors • Direct, actionable feedback that drives real results • 1:1 support customized to YOUR business • Immediate access when you need it most • Focus on concrete strategies, not theoretical advice • Expert guidance on GTM, fundraising, and scaling As another founder put it: "Every conversation is substantive and helpful. They help us find answers rather than telling us the answer." We're in the trenches with our founders - from closing initial angel investments to optimizing GTM strategy and making the key investor introductions that get you to your Seed round and beyond. If you should be part of this next cohort DM me - I'd love to meet you.

The key performance metrics for companies, categorized by Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) ranges, are designed to showcase top-performing companies (top decile) based on their ARR. ⠀ Only about 10-15% of these startups grow fast enough to raise another round of investment. Even for the top decile, getting more funding is becoming tougher. ⠀ Here's how to buck the trend and secure late-stage funding: ⠀ 1️⃣ Accelerate growth - Show continuous and exceptional growth. Investors look for startups that consistently outperform their peers. 2️⃣ Enhance customer retention - Focus on keeping your existing customers happy. High customer retention rates signal stability and reliability. 3️⃣ Optimize operations - Streamline your operations to maintain high margins. 4️⃣ Innovate continuously - Keep innovating your product or service to stay ahead of market trends and meet evolving customer needs. 5️⃣ Build strong relationships - Cultivate relationships with current and potential investors. Transparent and consistent communication can build trust and confidence. ⠀ Standing out in this competitive landscape requires more than just good performance—it demands excellence and strategic positioning. 💡 ⠀ #VentureCapital #StartupGrowth #FundingChallenges #Innovation #BusinessStrategy #CustomerRetention
