It’s great to see the?#StartupMonitor2024?highlighting key trends in our ecosystem! One insight that caught our attention:?54.4% of startups now prefer public funding as their top capital source. This underscores how crucial public funding has become, especially for early-stage startups. Back in 2018,?#BITKOM?reported that?66% of startups avoided public funding?due to heavy administrative burdens, complex processes, and extensive paperwork. While public funding is now highly preferred, many startups still face these same challenges. Have things changed since 2018? Or do the same obstacles still stand in your way?

I get reached out by so many early stage founders, trying to figure out how to launch their startup, when to raise funding etc etc Here is a step by step guide of how you may want to go about it. I do feel the order may vary, but the overall structure does apply. The most important step for me is validation - “show the prototype to 100 people”. Most startups dont do it or dont focus enough on this step. Forget about scaling without validation.
