How do venture capitalists survive today? Why do some startups fail and others grow into billion-dollar companies?

📢 Evgeny Borisov spoke on the Business Practices podcast 

What they talked about:

✔ Venture winter - yes, the market is difficult, but it is possible and necessary to invest. The key is to understand where to look for opportunities.

✔ Smart money - not just money. Deep involvement in projects, helping founders - this is no less important than the cheque itself.

✔ Mistakes of startups: unclear peech, inflated expectations, ignoring competitors, misallocation of resources.

✔ Deal funnel: out of 10,000 applications, 10 reach investment. What criteria allow you to choose the best projects?

✔ Entering foreign markets - when is it better to go straight into them, and when should you first establish yourself in Russia?

✔ What makes an investor happy? Spoiler: not only money, but also harmony between goals and reality.
