The mindset of startup investors
Finding the right investor is tough—understanding their mindset even more so. In our article, Dr. Bernhard Schmid highlighted investor priorities:
- Market validation matters. Investors look for proven demand, paying customers, and a strong founding team.
- Financials tell the story. Revenue potential must be backed by real market data and traction.
- It’s more than money. Dr. Silvia Mah’s TED Talk shifts the focus: Investing isn’t just a transaction—it’s a relationship.
The best investors don’t just fund startups; they believe in them. They take early risks, provide capital when it counts, and measure success beyond ROI—toward Return on Impact.
What if we flipped the script? Instead of one in ten startups succeeding, what if nine out of ten thrived—with the right support?
👉 That’s what we believe at the gate. We connect founders with mentors and investors who accelerate growth.
So, let’s build success together!
