Case Study – Conductiv
Received advice on corporate strategy, feedback on pitch deck, and introductions to key stakeholders, which led to closing a $1MM funding round.
Problem:
“Finding the right investors and advisors is tricky and time consuming. While I attended many pitch and networking events to find VCs and angels with the market knowledge and operating experience to support my B2B fintech business, most of these events didn’t deliver. They didn’t understand what our startup really needed from the advisory or investment perspectives or make introductions to the right people. I usually got introductions to the wrong types of investors and fairly generic advice.”
Solution:
“The neonVest platform is a really smart. Based on my company profile, neonVest took dozens of inputs to provide hyper-curated and relevant warm introductions with early-stage B2B-focused VCs in a streamlined and efficient manner. These investors evaluated Conductiv and provided me with valuable guidance on pitch deck structure, positioning, and served as SMEs for the fintech and B2B industry. Some of the connections I’ve made have included senior Partners/Managing Directors at prominent VC funds as well as former CEOs of public companies.”
Outcome:
“As a result of my conversations and the informed perspectives that each expert brought to the table, I was able to better understand the early stage fundraising landscape, far better articulate the value of my company and team, and build a powerful network of people that continue to make valuable intros to other stakeholders today. These learnings definitely helped me close a $1MM pre-seed round from the right VCs and angel groups. I recommend neonVest to any early stage entrepreneur!”
