Deal sizes for patent startups were 40% to 60% larger than those without. ??Valuations for angel-stage patent startups were a remarkable 93% higher and 51% higher for late-stage startups. ?? Exit values for patent-seeking companies were 154.9% higher for acquisitions and 48.2% higher for public listings.

???Wow?inspiring - we can learn alot in The Nordics and Europa!. Engine Ventures by Massachusetts Institute of Technology is once again leading the way in "deep / tough tech" investments and company building.????? https://lnkd.in/dcZXUSKb They've just raised a new $400 million fund III to tackle some of tech’s toughest challenges! This impressive milestone is a testament to their vision and dedication to groundbreaking innovation. A key driver behind this growth, as CEO Katie Rae highlights, is the “major policy shift” by the federal government with initiatives like the CHIPS Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. These measures are bolstering infrastructure and climate technology, providing strong incentives for private sector investment. The capital stack is much stronger than it was 7 years ago, showcasing the importance of a robust manufacturing base. As we face technological, economic, and security pressures in Europa there's much we can learn from The Engine’s journey over the past 7 years. Denmark, The Nordics, and Europe can leverage our strengths – with pride in our science-based startups, top-notch technology universities like DTU - Technical University of Denmark, and Technical University of Munich, TUM, and a very talented science based workforce.?????. It’s time for investment leaders to recognize the long-term economic potential and resilience of these deep tech companies. Let's attract more institutional investors, pensions, and individual managers to The Nordic's and Europe's early-stage deep tech space - to create lasting impact and financial return!????

Up to 50% of a consumer startup's costs go to spending on marketing. Startups up can free up this large outlay to spend on other things like hiring people and developing technology, by entering media-for-equity deals where startups take free advertising from a media group in return for equity in the business. There are several approaches to doing media for equity deals, which we outlined in the most recent of our #NextWaveWebinar series. Here is a summary of how to get these deals to work, and a link to the full webinar. Thanks to Arjun Kapur of Forecast Labs, Vinay Solanki of Channel 4 Ventures, Niko Marcel Waesche of GMPVC German Media Pool, and Leif Abraham of Public for participating. https://lnkd.in/eWdvJvuf #cvc #corporateventuring #mediaforequity
