How can startups raise funds in this shitty economical climate? 3 investors share their insider tips

When it comes to raising startup capital, 2023 was rough, to say the least. In fact, Pitchbook characterised it as Europe’s “most depressed” year in a decade in terms of VC exit value.

The question is, will 2024 be a turning point?

And if not, how can startups become part of that small percentage that does complete a successful funding round?

If you’re a startup attending TNW Conference 2024, you’re in luck. VCs will be on the lookout for disruptive business models and innovative applications for emerging tech. But how can you stand out from the crowd?

That’s exactly what we asked three investors at TNW Conference 2023.

Briehan Burke of Keen Venture Partners, SC Moatti of Mighty Capital, and Quentin Clarke of General Catalyst shared their insights on:

  • How their approach to investing changed in the last year
  • One technology or innovation that will always get their investment
  • Their advice for founders who are struggling now
