Thanks Martin and Jan for the great discussion in today’s Investments & Exits episode of Startup Insider. See the link to the episode in the comments. 👉 TL;DR - as we discussed quite a few topics: (1) Congrats to Christian Adelsberger and the whole team from NECTURE (formerly Ubiq) for extending their Series A to a total of 7m EUR (Smart Energy Innovationfunds, VERBUND AG x Ventures, Speedinvest, smartworks innovation). We discussed the relevance of advanced 🚗🔌 fleet management solutions for electrifying fleets and the transition the business has made of the the last years to where it is today (2) In that context we discussed the need and challenges of 🔄 adapting or pivoting your business model as a founder/team. While we owe founders a lot of respect for the resilience and endurance we also discussed the need to make adaptations to your journey as a venture (3) Congrats also to the team of Xaver for closing a very strong 5m EUR Pre-Seed round from Motive Ventures and Cavalry Ventures. We briefly discussed the strong tailwinds in the market besides the challenges ahead overcoming the problems which some players in the market faced before (4) Finally, we reemphasized what it means to be a #PreSeed investor - writing first checks as we at Picus Capital or our friends from Cavalry Ventures do. Pre-Product, Pre-Pitchdeck is more than an accepted reality for us but rather the sweet spot in which we love to partner up and be a sparringspartner.

The things you can do in a year! Last year, we were consulting and wondering why something like ViVV.ai didn't exist. Fast forward 12 months, and we will be walking the Croisette in our brand new ViVV Le Cannes T-shirts. This is a significant event for us because the inspiration the event gave us. It's crazy, but this year we have working ad-tech, paying clients, and an incredible team working on real-world marketing challenges. We still have a small amount of SEIS investment left and are looking for a few more beta partners. If you see the shirts and want to talk, grab us (gently). Even just a hi-five and support for what we are doing is sufficient. See you next week! BK & Nicola (1st timer). Nicola Cooper Brandon K. #cannes #startup #adtech #marketing

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻𝘀 A unicorn is a company that is hoped to be the next big thing and make a billion dollars. When these unicorns work they are great for everyone involved, but they are rare. If everybody chases unicorns that means more people will fail. A draft horse is a strong horse which can reliably pull heavy loads. As a company, a draft horse is a company which can quickly get to market and start making profits for the founders. There a lot more chances starting a successful draft horse than there are a successful unicorn. In a unicorn the mantra has to be ‘growth first’ for a draft horse the mantra can be ‘profit first’. I’d like to see more investments into these ‘profit first’ companies. One way to do this is to create simple physical products. A simple physical product can often be designed, prototyped and manufactured in less than a year! I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have profit Just because your idea won't turn into a billion dollar company doesn't mean it won't be a million dollar company!
