As a philanthropic impact investor, we aim to drive meaningful change by supporting and partnering with innovative ventures. Once we have identified those with the most promising impact models, we conduct an in-depth due diligence to decide whether to prepare an investment recommendation for a potential partnership. Martin Buess, former Senior Associate at elea, wrote an insightful blog article about due diligence the elea way, which means that we work closely with the ventures, diving deep into their business and impact models, assessing their commercial viability, getting to know the visionary entrepreneurs and their teams, and finding a strategic role for elea to nurture future growth. We further believe that meeting ventures in person is essential to understanding their impact and the starting point for a successful partnership. Jess Roussos, CEO and Founder of our recent investment BluLever Education, confirms: “It is critical to establish genuine partnerships with our investors – in the sense that we share a common vision, we are values aligned, and we are equally committed to walking this challenging journey together”.

Some weekend reading inspiration for founders as you look ahead to 2024 and the possibility of fundraising. I read this piece by MeiMei Fox in Forbes on the 15 Smart Steps to raising a successful seed round by Kaylee Astle of Vancouver based Blanka. As a serial entrepreneur turned investor, I deeply appreciate Kaylee's perspective on the process. Why? Because, unlike a lot of other advice out their, it's written through the lens of a founder and not an investor. While investors have excellent advice, founders need to take into account the day-to-day process and the perspective unique to those who are pitching and hearing the NOs. I especially appreciate Kaylee's advice on monthly investor emails, getting your financials, and the power of soft circling. From my experience as an entrepreneur and co-CEO of Spring, there are just a couple of things I would add to what Kaylee has shared: 1. Show progress. Each time you meet with an investor be prepared to show your progress in the business. Progress includes revenue, but it can be much more including: customer and user adoption, improved metrics, product development, team additions, and finance and funding updates. By showing regular progress you can get investors excited about your momentum, 2. Share you Impact. If your vision is to create a better world (people and / or planet), then share your impact thesis and your approach to impact. Your impact can be a mix what your company does and how you do it - all businesses can be positive impact businesses. If you are early stage, remember the distinction between your vision for impact and your current reality. Don't overburden a small team with everything impact measurement. Track and manage your impact in ways that are appropriate for your stage, size, and capacity. #fundraising #raisingcapital #angelinvesting #venturecapital #impactinvesting #businessforgood #tech4good https://lnkd.in/gD-kJD-3
