Evaluating startups is a critical but extremely complex process for investors. Traditional methodologies, based primarily on financial metrics and personal insights, are often inadequate in the rapidly evolving digital age.
This subjective approach can lead to erroneous investment decisions or missing opportunities determined by the excessive number of startups to analyze.
An investor may find himself in the uncomfortable decision of having to choose among hundreds of proposals, in the form of pitch decks, that are time-consuming and on which he might delegate judgment, relying on human bias or going with his gut.
Subjective evaluations
Investors rely primarily on their own personal experience, introducing potential bias into the decision-making process.
Long timeframes
Evaluating so many startups requires numerous meetings and extensive due diligence, consuming valuable time and resources.
Limited focus
There is an excessive focus on financial metrics and early traction, which may not capture a startup's innovation or growth potential.
