🦄Web3 Startups and VCs

2021-02-02 18:21:45 What is it that makes SaaS so attractive to VCs?

In 2020, European VC’s invested around €12bn into the SaaS sector, with Romanian SaaS giant UiPath becoming one of Europe’s most valuable tech startups. After raising $225m in July, UiPath’s valuation rose to $10.2bn, making it the region’s first SaaS ‘decacorn’!
SaaS businesses provide predictable, recurring revenue. A monthly subscription to Netflix is a repeatable, secure form of income that can be grown by acquiring more subscriptions or increasing its cost, compared with a one-off payment to download a film. SaaS companies are extremely capital-efficient. You can build a large, profitable business for less than $10m in funding. Open / Comment

2020 was a difficult year that brought a whole bag of change with it. Since last March, we have been attending our favorite events and conferences only online, from the safety of our homes and comfort of the couch!

Many of those were postponed or even cancelled, and at InnMind we decided to show you some of the best ones you can take part in this year! Here are some of the best startup events, I think any founder should be looking forward to, in the first half of 2021!

2021-01-26 20:15:14 South Korean Startup and VC Ecosystem. How to enter the Korean startup market?

The Korean Startup Market is a very dynamic, fast-growing & known to be very open to adopting new technologies. But, there are certain challenges faced by startup founders from outside Asia, who want to expand to the Korean market, but don’t know where to start.

It’s hard to find relevant market data in English, difficult to analyze competitors, understand local rules and regulations, and it is especially hard to get in touch with local partners and investors if you don't know anyone in Korea.

So in order to inform ourselves and YOU on all the intricacies of this market, InnMind invited an expert from South Korea, a startup advisor and mentor, CEO at Terminal Korea Startup Agency - Riso Ahn, to answer the questions from the global startup community and share practical advice on how to enter the Korean market!
