Key Takeaways:
And this is where the seeds of
Zacua Ventures were sewn, right? We had built a network, we’d
seen how hard corporate innovation is for a lot of corporates, and
we are also invested in funds. – Vivin
So a startup needs to be mindful
of the exit options that they have. They shouldn’t be driven by the
exit itself. – Vivin
I find that founders that spend a
lot of time with customers in the field and in the office come up
with the best solutions. Because they are observing workflows,
testing solutions on the job site and otherwise learning how their
solution can best serve their customers. – Antonia
So women in construction tech,
it’s dedicated to creating opportunities and developing
relationships for women driving innovation in the construction
industry. We envision a construction industry where women are well
networked, support each other, efforts to improve and advance in
the space and otherwise. – Antonia
We did a survey of 80 contact
focused VCs and corporate VCs a couple of weeks back. Just a little
bit of the industry, I would say, and it’s positive. We do see more
investment happening in this space. Pretty much 70% of the VCs we
spoke to said they’re going to increase their investment rather
than decrease in this space. – Vivin
I think everybody has a good view
of how the market could look in the next 6, 12, 18 months. Even if
it’s not rosy, it’s still more predictable than it was five months
back. And therefore the deal flow should pick up slowly and the
deal making should also pick up accordingly. – Vivin
