Ash Sethi 🇹🇭 Use growth as a compass. When you're trying to make a decision, ask which choice would make you grow faster.

Founders often don't get to deliver the most important pitch for their startup: the 2-3 line summary that a VC uses to socialize the opportunity with their partners. Here's how to help them craft one that will resonate: /1

Excited to share that VentureFriends will grow its team and is looking to hire an Investment Associate or Principal to double down in Iberia 🇪🇸 We want to grow the VF team in Spain to add to our presence in London, Warsaw and Athens 🚀 apply.workable.com/venturefriends…

Nov to Apr 2022 most companies saw a 2-3x bump in valuations between rounds, where between Apr 2022 and Oct 2022 most companies saw their valuation increase between 1,5 and 2x. (Plus fewer rounds overall) forgeglobal.com/private-market…

Could nt be more excited about VentureFriends new investment in HarborLab! Antonis Malaxianakis is a special, singularly focused shipping experienced founder and with a passionate team will certainly push the digitisation of the shipping sector! techcrunch.com/2022/12/07/har…

22/ Work only with founders who are guided by purpose, have a unique vision of the future, can actually build and ship product, and have empathy for their users. In the early days, a relentless focus on the purpose, product and the customer is all that matters.

Safeguarding SVB deposits was the right and a crucial decision. Startups chose to work with a solid bank and have enough to worry about already for them to be penalised for others' bad investing decisions. Nevertheless the SVB loss will leave a big gap in the tech ecosystem.

Very happy for the €10mil funding round for Embla to grow its digital weigh loss clinic in the UK and Denmark! The team have worked hard to create a recipe for sustainable and lasting weight loss, using less medication and effective health coaching. sifted.eu/articles/weigh…

We're thrilled to continue supporting Carmoola's mission to revolutionise car finance, with a £15.5M funding round joined by QED Investors, InMotion Ventures, AlleyCorp & u.ventures! techfundingnews.com/carmoola-secur…

Είναι δύσκολο να πρέπει να αποχαιρετίσεις ξαφνικά ένα τόσο επιδραστικό άνθρωπο. Η απώλεια είναι μεγάλη διότι ο κος Αποστολίδης ήταν ένας σπάνιος άνθρωπος με όραμα, αστείρευτη δημιουργικότητα και πάθος να βοηθήσει την Ελλάδα kathimerini.gr/opinion/562905…

Raising a new $45mil round is no easy feat these days, but hey this is Blueground . An amazing team that against the odds had overcome many challenges and became the global leader in the space. Much more to follow 🚀🎉

It was a privilege to have so many friends join us in Athens for the VF Summit this year. We had a series of enthralling panels, a rooftop dinner by the Acropolis and even a quick trip to an island with some of the international attendees 🛥️🇬🇷

The most successful founder-CEOs come to realize that the conventional wisdom of running a large company by” hiring good people and giving them room to do their jobs” is mistaken. The "founder mode" rather suggests the ceo diving as deep as needed paulgraham.com/foundermode.ht…

Shresth and the Pod team are wizards so I am very excited with what is coming 🎉🚀🚀
