Informacje
I'm a repeat founder and operator. My experience includes scaling startups from 0 to millions in revenue, building and operating B2B and B2C AI products, raising venture funding, and hiring and managing distributed teams.
I have had both failures and successes along the road, but the main story so far is undoubtedly building WANNA (exit to Farfetch).
My DMs are open and I'm always happy to chat/help fellow founders.

What are the top five elements for a successful VC pitch deck?
Start with the titles: - Use titles in a smart way — if you can say something instead of generic words, why not say it? - Would you be able to understand the narrative based on nothing but the titles? Aim for that - One main point per slide — as reflected in the title - Don’t hesitate to use references or comparisons — anything that helps people to relate and/or understand the idea better - There’s only one thing investors should take away from hearing/reading the slide — make sure you’re helping them by putting this in the title

What are the top five elements for a successful VC pitch deck?
List only co-founders and/or key employees (if there are stars). Make sure to add links (LinkedIn/etc) and mention why are you the best founder for this startup. What’s your story that led you to start this startup? Make sure to list social proof visuals: - Consider merging this with an informal intro. E.g. — ask the investor to introduce himself and ask 1-2 follow-up questions if need be, and then, when it’s your part, share the screen and start with the informal intro on yourself and the team, and then move to the pitch. This seems natural enough and sets the stage - Mention the roles - You can sometimes non-intrusively add some of the existing investors/advisers as the additional social proof mention of who supports you

What are the top five elements for a successful VC pitch deck?
- The most important slide — if there is traction, but the deck is shit, the project is still interesting - 4 types of traction: - User growth (signups, DAU/WAU/MAU/installs) - User engagement (time spent, retention, churn) - Revenue (MRR/ARR, booked revenue) - Pre-product traction: LOIs, wait-list

What are the top five elements for a successful VC pitch deck?
- This slide can sometimes be merged with the “why now” — or mentioned separately as a collection of proof of the market for the Q&A - Don’t overuse [TAM/SAM/SOM](https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/tam-sam-som) blindly as the “junk numbers” — but be prepared to answer these questions - Should be rapidly growing - Should be big enough

VC Platform explained, in apples. By the nature of what I do, I think about social systems a lot: how do we build a platform of founders supporting other founders? It’s so easy to get caught up in complexity here, that I make myself think about it, quite literally, in apples. Give it a try: * If I have two apples, and give you one, how many do I have left? One less than I had, so down to one apple. * But in real life the correct answer is that I now have an apple and a relationship with the culture of sharing with others when you can. I‘ll be able to lean back on that relationship when in a twist of fate it’s now me standing with no apples. I am now part of a system. * Can I rely on someone else to start this system? Yes, I can. But apples in life are a bit more complicated: — Maybe the person in front of me doesn’t share the apple with me, because she has already committed it to someone else. — Maybe she borrowed the apple from someone else in the past, and now wants to return it. — Maybe she hasn’t eaten in a while, and now needs not one, but both apples to sate herself. — All these people might be generally willing to share an apple with me—but maybe not this exact one, the timing may be not right at the moment, they are part of a bigger group where they have agreed to only share apples inside the group etc. Yes, the analogy with deal-sharing is intended, too. :) * When we factor in real-life circumstances, it’s hard to tell if the person, in fact, has a spare apple or not. Besides, when I wait for someone else to share an apple first, I make myself dependent on an external factor over which I have no control. I shouldn‘t, therefore, be surprized to find myself in a situation when I would want someone to share an apple with me, but the system is not there yet. * So, in reality, the only sure way to become part of a system like that is to wait for a moment when I have a spare apple and share it. * For this to work, the person I am sharing the apple with should actually need the apple. Let’s imagine I try to share an apple with someone who has just had two, doesn’t like apples, or has an apple tree. In the best case, it just won’t work. In worse cases, if let’s suppose I insist on giving the apple, the person might grow irritated. So, I need to share my spare apple with someone who actually needs an apple at this point in time. * This example is fabulous, as it helps answer other questions as well. For example, should I then give both apples, so that the relationship is 2x stronger? My answer will follow in the next post. PS. The artwork frivolously used by me to illustrate my thoughts is by a generative artist @dmitricherniak on inst who considers automation his artistic medium. He makes it seem easy, but after spending an hour in DALL•E and getting a bunch of really ugly apples in webs, I am a raging fan.

🚨You might never look at startup validation the same way after reading this.🚨 Hi am Nick, some of you know me as a seasoned Product Strategist and owner of axiomy - Product Validation and Design Studio, organizer of the Startup Activator 5.0 or even an owner of pizza places in Varna. I will share in a second, what unconventional techniques I use when validating business ideas (I have a lot), features or a whole software product. As It is just a LinkedIn post, I can't put everything I know in one piece but if you are interested in how I use these techniques, write a comment below and I will send you my case studies. My experience spans from FinTech to FoodTech, equipping me with a unique understanding of the diverse challenges faced by entrepreneurs. Having walked the challenging path of startup validation alongside numerous clients, I am well-versed in navigating the complexities of launching successful ventures across various industries. Long story short: We all know the orthodox ways to validate ideas but I've discovered some potent validation techniques that are often the least conventional. Here we go: 🔴 Wizard of Oz MVP - Don’t have the product yet? No problem. Create the facade of a functional product and manually handle the operations behind the scenes. It sounds deceptive, but it’s a goldmine for gathering user feedback without full-scale development. I’ve seen clients amass invaluable insights this way, shaping their products to precisely meet user expectations. 🔴 Prototyping on Social Media - This is where you turn likes, shares, and comments into a gold standard for product validation. I've worked with brands that crafted product mock-ups, shared them on social platforms, and gauged interest based on real-time user interactions. It's fast, it's public, and it can significantly pivot your product direction with minimal spending. 🔴 Fake Door Testing - Place a button for a non-existent feature and measure interest by the number of clicks it receives. This method helped one of my clients scrap a feature that would have wasted $200K in development costs. Turns out, not many were keen on clicking that shiny new button. 🔴 Sell Before You Build - Imagine selling your product before it even exists. Sounds tricky, right? But it's incredibly effective. This approach not only validates the market demand but also secures some initial funding. I’ve guided startups to use pre-sales as a litmus test for their product viability. 🔴 Letter of Intent - Nothing screams ‘market validation’ louder than a signed letter of intent from a potential buyer. It's a commitment that validates your idea like no other. Whether it’s a bulk purchase or a subscription before launch, these letters have helped my clients lock in demand and attract further investment. Whether it’s your first venture or the next big pivot, let’s validate your idea and pave the way for your startup’s success. #startup #ideavalidation #productdevelopment #strategies

Meka Asonye of First Round Capital joined me to share this really valuable insight for founders (when choosing a VC partner): “Choose the person who is going to help you make your company worth 10x.” In our conversation with Meka, we talk about this and get into how the VC ecosystem and modern GTM engines are more similar than you’d expect. Here are some of the highlights that stood out to me from the conversation: There's more money and more venture capitalists now than ever before. Now, there are 100s of seed round players and even angel investors who can write seed checks. He talks about how First Round Capital has an edge in this game to stand out from the noise: “We think of ourselves as a professional services company. We are in service of founders. We will do anything, at any hour, to help give you a slight advantage.” But the game is still about fighting for those inches every single day. “A lot of people forget that those advantages are made in the moments when no one is watching.” Our conversation led us discussing correlations between VC and the modern GTM engine. We talked about how combining 1st and 3rd party data for a GTM team will give them the edge needed to win deals. The power of turning this data into insights to create that slight advantage is how we’re thinking about it at ZoomInfo. One of my favorite takeaways from Meka when talking about this: “When you’re sitting side by side with your customers, they give you the raw and real feedback that you don’t get in any other way. You see it, feel it, and understand what you need to build when you’re building alongside your customers.” This perfectly captures our approach at ZoomInfo Labs. We're in the trenches with our customers, building the future of GTM together. Finding that slight edge is the path to victory, It’s a great conversation.

One of the funnest and intellectually entertaining podcasts I have heard in recent times. Riveting episode featuring many provocative quotes by Delian Asparouhov who says it like he sees it, and Harry Stebbings pushes back hard (the one on US v Europe was a highlight). I particularly enjoyed the passages on what a junior VC can do to succeed in venture (do the stuff a GP or senior VC cant do, says Delian), as well as on Founders Fund and how it is run incl decision-making on ICs. Delian seems to both hate and love Benchmark. He cant stand what Bill Gurley did to Travis Kalanick, yet the admiration for Benchmark, likely the closest in style to Founders Fund (small close-knit team, not Blackrock of venture that Sequoia and A16Z have become) comes through. Younger VCs will find the section where Delian describes how a junior VC can succeed in venture particularly interesting. Delian recalls how he flew to Portugal on short notice to meet the Sword Health founders, and did the deep research to understand their IPs and then convinced the Khosla Ventures team to back them. "Harry: What are your single biggest lessons on how to succeed in the world of junior VC? Delian: [00:23:00] if I, if I were to sort of boil down, I think what the success ultimately, you know, um, came down to, It was just a willingness to do things that the GPs weren't willing to do….one line mantra is extraordinary careers when you're a junior in venture do not get built sitting behind a desk in an office and, you know, behind a laptop. you have to be willing to go meet with founders in person, figure out how to, you know, sort of understand their businesses and how to convince them to even spend time with you when you're not, you know, one of the big generals.....And you have to be willing to do those types of things as a junior VC and gamble on this sort of top of funnel aperture, you know, on opportunities in a way that, the GPs are not, you know, I always say.” More notes of what I found interesting at https://lnkd.in/gzsvKdZU Link to episode: https://lnkd.in/g_C2Tzjj
