ReCircle is transforming India's plastic waste industry
ReCircle is developing an ethical and traceable reverse supply chain for plastics. Through mobile apps and dashboards, they are able to link stakeholders in an informal supply chain to track materials from collection to processing, thus creating traceability. Material that flows through their supply chain is then sold as Plastic Credits to businesses that use plastic as packaging. Thus, they are able to become plastic neutral and increase their impact.
Do VC funds need researchers?
?? Our Co-Founder & CMO Michail talked recently to Kelvin Songyu Ng, PhD , who is the Chief Scientist Officer at Bloom8 (fka RAGE Capital).
?? It is a unique job title and still quite rare. Some VCs rely on them not only for their judgment when it comes to due diligence but also when it comes to sourcing. For example sourcing deals through patents.
?? What do you think, do funds need more researchers in their teams?

Investor question of the week
"What would you consider your product’s key differentiator?"?
Investors want to know your secret sauce, what makes your product stand out in the market and enables it to be better than the competition? Only if you are able to highlight to investors why your product will win over customers, will they be able to have enough trust in you to invest.
Focus on go-to-market strategy
"The go-to-market strategy is very important to us because you can have a good team, a good product, and a market, but if you don't know how to tap into that market, then it's not sufficient to go ahead."
You could have the best product out there but if nobody is buying it your company won't thrive. Investors know that building a great product and bringing it to market are two very different things. So you need to demonstrate to investors how you are able to win over your market.?

Meme of the week
Founders hope to get funding as early as possible - but if you have no team, MVP, and customers usually it is too early to convince investors. Investors invest in execution, not ideas.?
Likely thousands of people have any specific viable business ideas at the same time, but what matters is who of them can execute and build a profitable company that returns investor’s money.?
