Meet Cornerstone VC

"Born out of a Black-led angel group, Cornerstone VC has just raised a £20m fund to back the “1% of the 1%” of diverse UK founders. And, with backers like Series A+ VC firm Atomico, it hopes to help these founders raise more money further down the line too. 

• Cornerstone VC wants to back diverse founders and looks at diversity in two ways — inherent (age, ethnicity, gender — with a focus on ethnicity for now) and acquired (education, languages spoken). 
• Startups can apply via its website — no need for a “warm intro”.

Most Active US Investors For July: Y Combinator, Elevate Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz Lead The Way In A Slow Month

"While July’s list of most active investors in the U.S. includes familiar names such as Y Combinator and Andreessen Horowitz, some of the other large firms that normally populate this list seemed to take the long summer month off.
Big-name firms such as Tiger Global, Insight Partners, General Catalyst, Accel and Sequoia Capital all were significantly lower on the list than normal. In fact, Tiger made only six U.S.-based investments in July—the hedge funds giant took part in 16 deals in July 2021."

But as we are often reminded, this is not 2021 anymore.
Take a closer look at the most active investors in U.S.-based startups last month and some interesting rounds they took part in here from News.Crunchbase.

Q2 2022 European VC Valuations Report from PitchBook:

"Despite falling public tech stocks and a bleak market outlook, European VC valuations still paced above last year's figures through June 30. VC dealmaking in Europe remained strong, helping keep valuations afloat. Yet as the year progresses, the full impact of a downturn may cause startup price tags to deflate.

Our Q2 2022 European VC Valuations Report explores how valuations fared across stages, sectors and geographies, and what current market conditions may mean for the future. Key takeaways include:
• Early-stage European valuations remained relatively insulated from public market volatility, currently pacing 34.1% higher than in 2021.
•
• The number of down rounds ticked upward slightly to stand at 15.4% of deals closed in H1.
•
• The total worth of European unicorns grew 35%, mostly due to strong dealmaking in Q1.
•
• A significantly quieter IPO market has seen public listing exit valuations drop by 57% from 2021's annual total."

Hi GoGloberes!

Why validation is a misunderstood but vital stepping stone to success?

A validation reduces risk, minimizes costs, accelerates the release of the market value of the product, it determines whether the time is right, and confirms the solution is efficient enough. Given this, you can see that this process is crucial and should be started as soon as possible. Yet, most founders are not completely aligned with this need. Angelica Morrone the Managing Director at Deutsche Suisse Asset Management, Impact Angel Investor will give some examples of startups where validation was needed, but not done and the project failed, and examples when the validation was done, the project pivoted and reached success.
