In the world of venture capital, there is a common inclination to project a flawless image, especially when founders pitch to investors. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the startup journey is inherently challenging. Embracing authenticity is pivotal in an industry where perfection is often emphasised. 🔑
"Share your startup challenges openly with investors. They know hurdles are part of the entrepreneurial journey, and by inviting investors to collaborate in overcoming them, they can provide you with valuable support", advises Bruna Alessandri Bonetti, Investor Analyst at Leanox Impact Capital. 👈🏼
In recognizing the inevitability of obstacles in the startup ecosystem, Bruna fosters an environment where founders are not only heard but also with investors seen as collaborators in problem-solving. This approach goes beyond the traditional investor-founder relationship, emphasising a more supportive partnership. 👬
By embracing imperfections and being open about challenges, let’s aim to create a space where mutual understanding and collaboration thrive, ultimately contributing to the success of impactful ventures. 💚
