Takeaways from conference

We recently attended the SIFTED Summit in London.

Our takeaways were:

• There are loads of startups still being formed, in abundant numbers,
• Next year expected participants might double,
• From the random conversations we had, risk identification remains poorly understood and under-served,
• Certain sectors saw tech startups rush in, and are thought to be nearing saturation,
• Venture Capital is selective and a high reaching goal for the startup community to engage with, and impress.

In our view, more than ever, the high competition for funding means firms need to get themselves ready to beat the competition for funding.

That means tidy up, get ready and be presentable with your corporate governance so that investors can take interest in, and have faith in, your company.
