At the 2024 Re View Summit, our Series A fundraising panelists explored how startups can navigate the evolving funding landscape. Moderated by Samantha Lynch, Head of Strategy & Finance at Redesign Health, the panel featured insights from industry experts Jackie Spencer, Brian Yee, Lynne Chou O'Keefe, and Seth Helfgott, who shared what investors are seeking and how founders can position their companies for success. Below are some of the key takeaways from the session: 1️⃣ Investor Focus: Investors are looking for companies solving operational problems with measurable outcomes. While AI solutions that automate processes stand out, other companies showing sustainable efficiency or financial gains are also attractive. 2️⃣ Strategic Deal Structures: Founders must navigate deal terms carefully to protect equity and align incentives. Investors are seeking those who validate their model on a small scale and structure deals for long-term growth. 3️⃣ Series A Milestones: Early traction, scalability, and strong unit economics are key. Investors expect clear metrics that validate the model and demonstrate sustainable growth potential. 4️⃣ Founder Attributes: Investors value founders who demonstrate adaptability, flexibility, and the ability to pivot when needed. Strong leadership, a clear vision, and deep industry expertise—particularly in complex sectors like healthcare—set successful founders apart. Thank you to our panelists for sharing these valuable insights!
