课程名称：Sramana Mitra的《预种药风投如何看待初创企业》 课程概述：本课程基于1Mby1M方法论，通过案例研究分享技术创业者的知识。Sramana Mitra为学生提供了与企业家、投资者和思想领袖一起讨论的独特机会，从中获取如何建立成功企业的深刻见解。在这些对话中，学生可以接触到探索创业的各类案例研究。Sramana深入的分析和总结的关键学习使每次讨论充满深度。此课程主要面向希望学习如何像投资者一样思考并提升融资机会的创业者。例如，有意申请Y Combinator的创业者需仔细聆听Sramana与Y Combinator总裁Geoff Ralston的对话，他明确阐述了申请中需要注意的要点，以及为什么98%的申请被拒绝，初创公司如何提高进入的机会。 在早期投资生态中，融资方式已经分化，不再仅限于种子轮和A轮融资。种子部分已细分为朋友和家人资助、预种、种子、后种、小A轮及大A轮。本课程将深入探讨预种阶段，包括预种、后种和预A轮之间的区别，以及创业者在寻求第一次融资时所面临的挑战。 在当前环境下，参与A轮和B轮投资的竞争愈发激烈，每年种子阶段投资有5万到7万笔，而A轮仅有1200到1500笔。这表明市场上有大量公司未能进入A轮融资的池子，真正的“热门”公司数量稀少，因此竞争异常激烈。同时，一些没有资格获得A轮投资的公司总是存在，而许多获得种子投资的公司却未能发展壮大。这意味着在这个阶段仍有大量的初创企业在寻求资金支持。 为了帮助创业者适应不断演变的融资细微差别，本课程将分享多位投资者对“预种”定义的看法。学员还将通过深入的对话了解投资者期望在初创公司进入交易前寻找的验证。同时，1Mby1M课程重视基于访谈的案例研究，涉及创新、商业模式、市场策略、验证原则及创业者旅程中的各种细节，提供丰富的学习机会，让创业者从成功的创业者和支持他们雄心壮志的投资者那里借鉴经验。
The 1Mby1M Methodology is based on case studies. In this course, Sramana Mitra shares the tribal knowledge of tech entrepreneurs by giving students the rare seat at the table with the entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders who provide the most instructive perspectives on how to build a thriving business. Through these conversations, students gain access to case studies exploring the alleys of entrepreneurship. Sramana's synthesis of key learnings and incisive analysis add great depth to each discussion.This course is primarily for entrepreneurs who want to learn how to think like an investor and increase their chances of getting funding for their startup.For example, want to apply to Y Combinator? Listen carefully to Sramana's conversation with Geoff Ralston, President of Y Combinator. He spells out very clearly what they are looking for in a startup application and why 98% of Y Combinator applications are rejected and how startups can increase their chances of getting in.The early stage investment ecosystem has fragmented, it's no longer just seed and Series A. The seed part has fragmented to friends and family financing, pre-seed, seed, post-seed, small Series A, and large Series A.In this course, we will do a deep dive into the pre-seed stage.What is the difference between pre-seed, post-seed and pre-Series A? This is not so simple anymore to understand. For entrepreneurs who are seeking financing for the first time, it's not easy to understand where they fit in.There is a lot of competition to get into some of the deals for Series A (and Series B). If you look at the numbers, there are 50,000 to 70,000 seed stage investments a year versus 1,200 to 1,500 Series A investments. Clearly there is a lot of companies in that pool that are not getting to Series A. Only a percentage of those are really the hot companies. The hot companies, by definition, are few and far between, which is why there is such a competition. There are a lot of companies in the middle.Then there are the stranded businesses that don't deserve Series A. That is irrelevant, because there are a lot of companies that do get seed investments and don't really pan out. They shouldn't be raising more money. That is not of concern to me because it makes sense that they shouldn't get to Series A. But still, there is a big number of startups in the middle. They're not the hottest companies, but they are good solid companies. Many of those are falling in the Series A crunch as well.To keep up with the evolving nuances of startup financing, this course shares how several of the investors I've spoken with define "pre-seed." You will also learn what kind of validation they are looking for in a startup before getting into a deal during our in-depth conversations.The 1Mby1M courses are all heavily based on interview-based case studies on Innovation, Business Models, Go To Market Strategies, Validation Principles, and various other nuances of an entrepreneur's journey. We offer extensive opportunities for entrepreneurs to learn the lessons from the trenches from successful entrepreneurs who have done it before and Investors who support their ambition.
