Create a Sense of Urgency Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In running a fundraiser, it's important to build a sense of urgency into the campaign. Here are some key steps to create that sense of urgency: Break your fundraising into smaller rounds or tranches. Demonstrate this by showing the fundraising plan that has more funding to come, but at a higher valuation. This lets you run deadlines at the end of each round, creating urgency with investors. Show how other investors are joining the round. Show the interest and committed investors, as well as the funds invested. Call out milestone events such as finding a lead investor, closing the round, or hitting the 50% mark of the fundraise. Start canvassing investors before you begin the fundraise to educate potential investors on the campaign. This moves investors down the path by learning the details of the business. Provide regular updates to the investor on your progress. Show how now is the right time to invest. Use these tools to create a sense of urgency for your fundraiser.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

Ein Info-Update so schnell wie ein Espresso-Shot! Mein Plenar-Rückblick direkt aus dem Europaparlament in Straßburg.

Der Blog zum KaffeeKOMPASS-Podcast – Folge 73: Michael und Tom haben es schon mehrfach erwähnt: Die Mühle ist mindestens genau so wichtig wie die Maschine an sich. Welchen Eindruck hinterlassen also in diesem Zusammenhang Mühlen unter 500 Euro auf unsere Experten? Zwei große ‚E‘ kennzeichnen Barista & Hommel-Kaffeesysteme-Geschäftsführer Michael Murschel und seinen Gesprächspartner Thomas „Tom“ Schulz, den Inhaber und Röstmeister der W&S Kaffee-Manufaktur: Expertise und Enthusiasmus. Beides sprüht dem Hörer der KaffeeKOMPASS Podcast-Reihe ab der ersten Sekunde entgegen, wenn zwei ausgewiesene Fachleute rund um das schwarze Gold fachsimpeln. Folge 73 wird die Frage beantwortet, ob man für eine gute Mühle zwangsläufig viel Geld investieren muss. Auf dem Prüfstand stehen nämlich Mühlen, die für unter 500 Euro zu haben sind. Wie sie sich schlagen, erfahrt ihr in dieser KaffeeKOMPASS-Folge. Milestones Folge 73 Einleitung - Begrüßung und Vorstellung der Teilnehmer - Einführung in das Thema der Folge: Kaffeemühlen unter 500 Euro Vorstellung der Kaffeemühlen - Überblick über die sechs verschiedenen Mühlen - Fokus auf die Eureka Specialita und Eureka New Magnifico Unterschiede zwischen den Mühlen - Optische und funktionale Unterschiede - Diskussion über gehärtete Scheiben und deren Auswirkungen Test und Vergleich der Mühlen - Praktische Tests der Mühlen - Geschmacksunterschiede und Refraktometer-Messungen Diskussion über das WDT-Tool - Einführung in das Weiß Distributed Technology Tool - Anwendung und Auswirkungen auf den Kaffee Weitere Tests und Beobachtungen - Vergleich mit der Magnifico XL - Diskussion über die Ergebnisse und Präferenzen Fazit - Zusammenfassung der Erkenntnisse - Empfehlungen und persönliche Meinungen der Teilnehmer Verabschiedung und Ausblick Zusammenfassung Michael und Tom sind sich schon lange einig: Für einen richtig guten Espresso ist die Mühle mindestens genau so wichtig wie der Siebträger. Klar ist also auch, dass es im Mühlen-Segment sehr schnell sehr teuer werden kann, wenn man Wert auf Qualität legen will. Doch muss das immer zwangsläufig so sein? Genau dieser Frage gehen unsere Experten heute auf den Grund, denn im Testfeld stehen insgesamt sechs verschiedene Mühlen, die jeweils für unter 500 Euro zu haben sind. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt dabei auf zwei Modellen des Herstellers Eureka, die natürlich auf Herz und Nieren getestet werden. Viele nützliche Infos und Tipps gibt es wie gewohnt natürlich auch in dieser Folge wieder gratis on top. Wir wünschen euch viel Spaß mit dieser brandneuen Folge des KaffeeKOMPASS!

In dieser Folge geht's ans Eingemachte – also ans Portemonnaie. Sören will jetzt Fahrrad fahren, aber bitte nur mit Stil, Carbon und Klickpedalen. Domenik hält dagegen – mit einem Espresso aus einer Kaffeemaschine, die mehr kostet als so mancher Gebrauchtwagen. Zusammen fragen sie sich: Wann wird ein Hobby zur finanziellen Selbstzerstörung?Außerdem im Check: Warum Tennis nicht nur für Millionäre ist, sondern auch für zwei mittelmäßig talentierte Podcast-Hosts. Und: Die Formel 1 – wo Geld, Geschwindigkeit und ganz viel heiße Luft aufeinandertreffen.Also: Helm auf, Schläger raus, Motor an – und rein in diese herrlich absurde Folge voller sportlicher Ambitionen und ökonomischer Grenzerfahrungen.

In today's episode, we're speaking with Andreas Hertzberg, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Nordic Approach – a pioneering green specialty coffee company.Andreas founded Nordic Approach in 2011 alongside Morten Wennersgaard and Tim Wendelboe, with a vision to work more closely with producers and deliver coffees that reflect the high standards synonymous with the Nordic region.Today, Nordic Approach sources around two and a half million kilos of green coffee each year, working with thousands of farmers across 12 producing countries.In this conversation, Andreas reflects on the early days of the business, how the team introduced a disruptive and transparent sourcing model to the market, and why they've always chosen to work with farmers who share a commitment to excellence. He also unpacks the complexities of green coffee trading today and why market volatility is often more difficult to navigate than high prices alone.Credits music: "Midnight Dynamite" by Alessia in association with The Coffee Music Project and SEB Collective.

The Role of AI and Data in Fundraising Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startup fundraising begins with family and friends and then expands to the founders' network. In that part of the fundraising, founders will engage those they know well. Half the reason these investors join the round is to help the founder. After this group is exhausted, the founder draws the circle wider and starts to encounter investors they don't know. These investors will be more difficult to close because they don't have a relationship with the founder already. They will make an investment decision based solely on the merits of the business. For this stage, founders will need to use AI and data tools to identify the most viable investors for their deals. Founders will need to find those investors who fit their deals based on revenue, sector, and stage. AI and data analytics are key tools to use in this part of the fundraising. AI can search large amounts of data to identify the right investors to pursue. The funds flowing through the industry are moving every day.   It's important to have the latest data on who has dry powder and who may be looking to invest. Consider the use of AI and data analytics for your startup fundraising.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

Bring Three Stats for Your Startup Fundraising Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising funding, it's important to showcase the key numbers behind your business. Here are three statistics for your startup fundraise: Revenue traction -- show what traction you have so far including the dollar amount and the growth rate. Customers need to know where you are on the revenue-generating path and how fast it's going.  A 50% annual growth rate is the minimum for a venture investment. Customer pain point -- show how much the problem you are solving is currently costing the customer or the economy. This number needs to be big and in most cases growing.   Customer ROI -- show what value in numbers your customer receives from your product. This could include both productivity improvements and cost reductions.   A good rule of thumb is you want this to be a 10X increase.  The key numbers reflect the problem, the solution, and the startup's effectiveness.  Show these three numbers in your startup fundraising.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Send us a textIn this soul-rich episode recorded live at Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz welcomes Darrin Swan — a cybersecurity strategist, vinyl collector, and espresso aficionado — to explore the habits and mindsets that drive both personal clarity and professional performance.Darrin opens up about his nightly ritual of selecting vinyl records to guide his mindset the next morning, the art of mastering an Italian espresso machine, and how these moments of intentionality ripple into his leadership at Total Helps. He shares how setting the tone for the day—creatively and energetically—has shaped his approach to solving problems and leading high-performing teams.On the business side, the conversation gets tactical as Darrin lays out the MSP challenges he's tackling: client security, talent retention, and the need to move from reactive to proactive cybersecurity strategies. He also highlights how mid-market acceptance of MSPs is growing—and how partner trust, cultural transparency, and gamification are key to success in this next phase of growth.It's a unique blend of music, mindset, and cybersecurity that delivers both strategic insight and personal inspiration. 

Bring Three Stats for Your LP Fundraise Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Raising funds from Limited Partners requires a track record, an investment thesis, and a competitive advantage. It's important to show you have a track record of successfully deploying capital. Investors want to know what you will be investing in, and is that space growing. Finally, they will look for your competitive advantage in finding and closing deals. In raising funds from Limited Partners, add these three statistics to your pitch: Track record -- have your IRR, MOIC, or TVPI numbers available to show. This is most often an IRR number or MOIC. If you haven't deployed funds and don't have a track record, it's best to build one before launching a fund. Target market growth rate -- show the growth rate in the market sector you are targeting. Investors invest in growth, so look for a growth sector in your target market. Competitive advantage -- investors want to know what you have that they don't in deploying capital. This could be a network of CEOs who bring you deals and help you diligence them. Call out the number of people in that network and something about them, such as their geographic location or their market sector. Use these three numbers to anchor your pitch.    Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Raising Funding in Downtimes Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Fundraising goes through the same cycles as the stock market, When the stock market is going up it's easier to raise funding. When it's going down it's harder. Raising funding in down times requires more creativity. Here are some ideas on how to raise funding in a down market: Use more grant funding to fill in the gaps. The grant funding from the government continues regardless of the market. Consider crowdfunding. For smaller amounts of funding, this can help. Use revenue-based funding for a portion of the raise. These funds must be paid back but are non-dilutive to the cap table. Consider low-end angel funding in which accredited investors write $25K checks. For the right valuation, angel investors will come into the deal. In addition to these funding options, consider customer funding. This requires building custom projects for specific customers but if done right can continue to build out the platform and pay the bills. On the strategic side, shift from a high burn rate to a low burn rate and grow organically for a while.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

Show How Your Valuation Is Already Achieved Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Valuation is a key factor in a startup's fundraising. Most startups show an aspirational valuation and then spend the pitch trying to convince investors it's appropriate. Most use their forecasted revenues to justify their valuation. Forecasts hold little value to the investor and often leave them unconvinced about the proposed valuation. Instead of using revenue, articulate the values already in the business. Highlight the intellectual property and its value by showing comparables with other companies. Show recent exits in which the IP was a central part of the valuation. Show the other assets in the business, such as the team and their track record. Call out the customers that you have already won. Show the product and what has been built so far, and highlight the revenue generation underway. In raising funding, show that your valuation has already been achieved. Make the case by showing specific values already in the business that add up to the proposed valuation. Futures hold little value to the investor.  Focus on what's in the business today.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

The Four Phases of a Pitch Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The successful startup pitch goes through four phases. Start by capturing their imagination. This could be a bold statement, such as we can solve cancer within ten years. This sets the context for the problem to be solved. Next, show your solution and how it will achieve the goal just set forth. Show how the solution works at a high level. Highlight the value proposition you have. Next, make the case that shows how your business will be successful. This includes the team and what they bring to the table. Highlight the current traction. This shows product and market validation -- the product works and customers will pay for it. Finally, give the investor a call to action. Instead of asking for the funding today, encourage them to learn more about the business. This is basically asking for the next meeting.  Invite them to join the conversation. There's a natural arc to good pitches that takes the investor through your story. Consider how to implement these four phases in your startup pitch.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

In today's edition of Morning Espresso on the SDH Network, we break down a packed weekend ahead and a powerful set of stories from across the soccer world. The USMNT advances to the Gold Cup Final after a 2-1 win over Guatemala behind a lightning start from Diego Luna. But it wasn't just about stats — it was about emotion, crowd energy, and the kind of connection Pochettino says the U.S. must build heading toward 2026.The USWNT closed out a flawless summer window with a 3-0 win over Canada, as Emma Hayes' team continues to separate itself from so-called rivals. We cover that result, the NWSL's 2026 format release, and a busy week in women's international tournaments across Europe and Africa.We also touch on transfer news from Jonathan David to Chloe Kelly, and the unraveling situation at Sheffield Wednesday — before ending on heartbreaking news out of Spain, where Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva have tragically passed away in a car accident.

L'Italia e il Sudamerica sono separati da migliaia di chilometri di oceano, eppure condividono sorprendenti similitudini culturali che vanno ben oltre la comune origine latina. Attraverso un'analisi comparativa delle abitudini quotidiane, scopriamo come questi due mondi così distanti geograficamente siano in realtà incredibilmente vicini nel modo di vivere, esprimersi e relazionarsi. 5 Abitudini Bizzarre che Italiani e Sudamericani Condividono Il Linguaggio delle Mani: Quando i Gesti Parlano Una delle caratteristiche più evidenti della comunicazione italiana è l'uso intensivo della gestualità. Gli italiani accompagnano ogni frase con movimenti delle mani che amplificano, completano e talvolta sostituiscono completamente le parole. Questa tendenza trova un sorprendente parallelo in molti paesi sudamericani, dove la comunicazione non verbale assume un'importanza fondamentale. Per gli studenti stranieri è essenziale comprendere che alcuni gesti sono universali tra Italia e Sudamerica, mentre altri possono avere significati completamente diversi. Il classico gesto della mano aperta con le dita unite che si muove su e giù significa "cosa vuoi?" sia in Italia che in Perù, mentre il cerchio formato da indice e pollice indica "perfetto" in entrambe le culture. Tuttavia, bisogna prestare attenzione alle differenze culturali: il gesto della mano sotto il mento spinta in avanti significa "non me ne frega niente" in Italia, ma "persona furba o truffatrice" in molti paesi sudamericani. Per un apprendente italiano, osservare e praticare la gestualità è fondamentale quanto imparare la grammatica, poiché un italiano che parla senza muovere le mani appare innaturale e robotico. Il Sacro Culto del Caffè: Tradizioni e Rituali Il caffè rappresenta molto più di una semplice bevanda sia in Italia che in Sudamerica: è un rituale sociale, un momento di pausa obbligatorio e un vero e proprio codice comportamentale. Gli italiani hanno sviluppato regole ferree riguardo al consumo del caffè che possono sembrare incomprensibili agli stranieri ma che sono sacrosante per chi vuole integrarsi nella cultura italiana. La regola fondamentale è che il cappuccino si beve esclusivamente a colazione, mai dopo le 11 del mattino e assolutamente mai dopo i pasti. Ordinare un cappuccino dopo pranzo o cena identifica immediatamente uno straniero e può causare sguardi perplessi nei bar italiani. L'espresso, invece, si consuma in piedi al bancone, velocemente, spesso accompagnato da una conversazione rapida con il barista o altri clienti. In Sudamerica, paesi come il Perù, la Colombia e il Brasile hanno sviluppato culture del caffè altrettanto sofisticate. Il "café pasado" peruviano, filtrato goccia dopo goccia, richiede tempo e pazienza, trasformando la preparazione in un momento meditativo. Anche qui il caffè diventa pretesto per socializzare e creare legami. Entrambe le culture considerano il "caffè americano" (quello lungo e diluito) una sorta di sacrilegio culinario. Per italiani e sudamericani, il caffè deve essere forte, aromatico e servito in piccole quantità che concentrano tutto il sapore e la caffeina necessari per affrontare la giornata. Vocabolario essenziale per studenti: • Espresso: caffè classico italiano, forte e concentrato• Macchiato: espresso con una goccia di latte• Corretto: espresso con aggiunta di liquore (grappa, sambuca)• Lungo: espresso con più acqua• Ristretto: espresso con meno acqua, più concentrato• Caffè al banco: consumare il caffè in piedi al bancone del bar Scopri di più su Mili e il suo sito per l'apprendimento dello spagnolo: Burbuja del Español. La Dittatura Culinaria delle Nonne: Quando Rifiutare è Impossibile Il ruolo della nonna nella cultura italiana e sudamericana trascende la semplice figura familiare per diventare una vera e propria istituzione sociale. Le nonne italiane e sudamericane condividono un approccio al cibo che va ben oltre la nutrizione: è una dic...

Researching Investors for Your Fundraise Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Before launching your fundraiser campaign, make sure to research your investor prospects. Start with those who invest in your startup stage and sector. It's pointless to reach out to investors who have an investment thesis completely out of scope for your startup. Once you have the investors who invest in your sector and stage, drill down to those who invest in your type of business. Healthcare, for example, is a broad sector with many subsectors and applications. Look for those who fund your type of business. Next, check their geographical preference. Some investors only invest in their local region, while others invest nationally. Next, look for the right point of contact. Who is the one most likely to have an interest in your deal? VC funds often have multiple general partners. Look for the right partner who is the best point of contact. In the initial call, make it a two-way conversation. Ask questions about what the investor looks for in a startup, as well as answer their questions. This demonstrates you are working with them to make sure this is a good fit. Consider these points in researching and contacting investors for your fundraising.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Fundraising Tips Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Most founders are raising funding for the first time. They often miss the nuances that come from experience. For the second go-around, founders are often much smarter about the process. Here are some fundraising tips from those who have done it: Start your outreach to investors six months in advance of actually raising funding. Put your investor network on alert that you will be raising funding in the near future. This makes it easier to set up pitches when the campaign kicks off. Practice your pitch with existing investors well before you approach the most important ones. Make sure you have practiced it and had enough questions from the initial investors to work out the kinks. Show investor validation of your fundraise. Make clear that other investors are reviewing the deal, and some have already come in. This signals there is competition for the round. Choose investors based on their fit to your business first, and valuation and terms second. The valuation and terms are short-term negotiating points. A good investor-founder fit will be a factor throughout the life of the company. Consider these tips in your upcoming fundraiser.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
