New statistics on metrics and benchmarks that investors expect from startups. Data from the Founder Institute, one of the largest pre-seed accelerators in the world (with a portfolio of over 7000 companies from 100 countries).
Key takeaways from the statistics:
- Investors invest in results (traction), not just ideas
- If you lack many of the positions from the tables or have small numbers, it is worth working on them. Alternatively, you can still try to raise funds, but as Deadpool would say “make an educated guess” for the probability of success for such pitch deck.
