We spoke with a seasoned venture capitalist with over 20 years of experience in tech investments. Here’s a sneak peek at his top insights for winning pitch decks: 💡 Clarity Over Complexity: Investors prefer simplicity. A deck that distills complex tech into understandable terms can capture attention more effectively than jargon-filled presentations. 🔍 Proof of Concept: Real-world applications and pilot studies can significantly enhance credibility. Demonstrating early traction, even with small-scale pilots, can be more persuasive than theoretical models. 🔧 Scalability: Highlighting your technology’s ability to scale and adapt to different markets shows potential for long-term growth. Investors are keen on tech that can evolve with market demands. 📊 Financials with a Story: Numbers alone don’t tell the full story. Contextualize your financials with strategic insights and future roadmaps. Is yours hitting all these marks? #InvestorInsights #TechStartups #PitchDeckTips

🚀 Elevating Exit Readiness: 5 Key Success Factors for High ROIs The Venture Capital Journal reported that Foresight defied the lethargic M&A market with a 16.1x ROI exit, when Intel bought portfolio company Codeplay, a software developer for chipmakers. One factor that helped facilitate the sale was the sound due diligence support. (See article link in comments.) In a currently slow deal flow environment, Tech Consultancies / Agencies play a pivotal role in ensuring portfolio companies are primed for success. 🎯 Here are 3 critical success factors to consider when choosing the right partner, and why Turbine Kreuzberg fits the bill seamlessly. 1️⃣ Tech-Know How: Tech should be the agency's DNA. Consulting done by developers and tech experts will provide a deeper and more realistic perspective on the tech challenges at hand. Watch out for their ability to translate their know-how into digestible and actionable business value. 2️⃣ Implementation Expertise: Actual implementation expertise will help to more accurately assess the target's technology stack, scalability potential and integration challenges, but most importantly to identify, mitigate and circumvent risk, since all aspects are daily real-life problems in implementation projects. 3️⃣ Value Creation: Since execution driven agencies create value themselves, they understand best how to translate theoretical advise into value creating levers. In essence, having software implementation expertise enhances the quality and depth of a tech due diligence process. It enables consultants to provide a nuanced analysis of the target's technology landscape, potential challenges, and opportunities, helping investors make well-informed decisions and mitigate risks associated with technology-related aspects of the investment.

As Warren Buffet once said: "A truly great business must have an enduring moat that protects excellent returns on invested capital." Unlike most software-focused ventures, as much as 83% of deep tech innovations are built around a physical product. Whilst this clearly comes with its technical challenges, it also signifies that deep tech companies are much likelier to build a stronger moat around their businesses, protecting their products with patents. These moats can make deep tech companies very attractive investments. At the HardTech Investor Network, powered by ventureLAB, we aim to catalyze investment into hardware and deep-tech technologies by coordinating a community of like-minded investors and allowing them to share opportunities with their peers. We are committed to supporting investment in Canadian companies throughout the deep-tech ecosystem.
