Welcome to Grit & Growth's masterclass on the do's and don'ts of pitching VCs, featuring Zach George, general partner at Launch Africa Ventures, one of the leading early-stage venture capital funds on the continent. Sitting in the investor seat gives George valuable insights on what entrepreneurs should and shouldn't do to attract the right kind of investment for their company.After earning a master's degree at Stanford University and spending over a decade on Wall Street, Zach George turned a vacation to South Africa into a lifelong career … and, ultimately his home. He instantly saw Africa's potential as a hub for innovation, but felt that funding for start-ups was very old school. What's more, he recognized that African entrepreneurs required more than just capital, they needed mentorship, connections, and intellectual capital. So he created a unique venture capital firm to provide it all. To date, Launch Africa Ventures has raised $36.2 million, making it the largest early-stage fund in Africa. After meeting with so many founders seeking funding, George has plenty of advice to share.Top Six Masterclass Takeaways Due diligence is your responsibility, too.“It is almost impossible to find founders that can put themselves in your shoes as the investor. They've done thorough diligence on us as a fund and our portfolio companies and they can convince us how our portfolio companies can be better off because of what they do. That, for me, is a no-brainer.”Be open to advice.“I always say founders should get VCs as coaches, not captains. We don't run the ship, but we coach you, right? Now, if as a founder, you're not coachable, then that is an immediate red flag.” Understand your customers.“Retaining customers is a lot easier than getting new customers. So if that simple equation makes sense, why aren't you incentivizing your existing customers to refer you to other customers, right? Understanding unit economics is super, super, super important. You know, the tech is almost irrelevant, if you don't understand your customers.”Don't overstate interest in your company.“In Africa, there are about 35 to 40 credible VCs on the continent and we know most of them. So if someone walks into a room and says, ‘Oh, I've got a term sheet from this VC or this investor is very interested in me, and our rounds are almost closed,' the reality is I'm going to WhatsApp the GPs of those funds almost immediately.”Don't underestimate how difficult it is to scale.“If you're in South Africa or Nigeria, you can get away with just being in those markets up to your series A. But if you're in Uganda or Rwanda or Senegal, you really have to be thinking about cross-border expansion prior to series A. And not having a roadmap for that is a yellow flag. The wrong answer is always ‘it's not relevant, I'm not there yet.' If you're the CEO you better have a plan for how you're gonna expand to multiple markets.”Make sure your IP is in an investor-friendly jurisdiction. “You've got to be clean from a legal and tech perspective. So the most common structure is you have a holding company in Delaware and you have multiple local operating subsidiaries. And the Delaware holdco owns 100 percent of all the African subsidiaries. And the investors only invest at the holdco. You've got to have that set up before you talk to a VC.”Listen to George's advice to founders, plus his insights on the changing demographic and economic landscape in Africa, his thoughts on AI, and his desire to create a value chain of funding with blended capital that goes beyond just equity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Representation of women in the fintech industry is scarce. So scarce that women make up less than 10 percent of fintech founders or executive board members, according to a recent paper from the International Monetary Fund. But Sofiat Abdulrazaaq is changing the game for women of color in fintech. Abdulrazaaq is the co-founder of Goodfynd, a platform that began as a way to help consumers find nearby food vendors/trucks and facilitate ordering and delivery where available.  Goodfynd also has a B2B application. Abdulrazaaq identified the need for all mobile vendors — food or otherwise — to have an accessible and affordable one-stop shop to run their business. This “business in a box” model is meant to reach the under-served community of first generation and immigrant mobile vendors, allowing them to include what they need from the Goodfynd platform — without extra bells and whistles. What started off as an organic quest to find food trucks before the pandemic morphed into B2C and a scalable B2B model. Pivoting from a stint in privacy law (she got her JD then decided to become an entrepreneur), Abdulrazaaq shows resilience in the face of hardship as a woman of color in a male-dominated world.  Listen to Abdulrazaaq discuss raising capital and launching Goodfynd, on this episode of SheVentures. 1:45 Abdulrazaaq discusses her career pivots. 4:20 How did the idea for Goodfynd emerge?  10:15 Abdulrazaaq reflects how a grant from Lighthouse Labs helped her and her co-founders create a proof of concept.  19:05 Will Goodfynd expand its business model to all mobile businesses?  22:12 What does being an “impact-first executive” mean to Abdulrazaaq?  25:22 Abdulrazaaq shares her experience as a woman of color raising capital.  33:55 What are her three tips for women pursuing entrepreneurship?  38:06 Where can listeners learn more about Goodfynd?

On this episode of The Compassionate Capitalist Show, Nathan Beckord, Founder and CEO of Founder Suite, and Karen Rands will talk about what steps a founder needs to take to increase the odds of seed round and subsequent  funding rounds successful. The steps to complete a successful capital raise are predictable, yet most entrepreneurs make the same common mistakes.  Even with all the free resources available through economic development organizations, incubators and accellerators, and an abundance of entrepreneur programs in colleges and universities, Nathan estimates that 98% of the startup founders have no idea about how to raise capital.  And as Karen has often stated, there is a science to the art of raising capital. With over a decade of experience working with 150 startups as Interim CFO, business development, and many advisory roles, and deep experience with financial equity markets, Nathan Beckord started his own startup FounderSuite.com to provide software tools and formulized guidance to entrepreneurs seeking to raise seed stage and growth stage capital. With access to the investing preferences of over 200,000 investors, nearly a 1/4 of the entrepreneurs using the research and relationship tools on this SaaS platform have successfully raised nearly $3 Billion in capital in just 5 years since inception.
