This is crypto, the ICO and IEO route is the crypto answer to Venture Capital. Yes ICOs have changed over the years but a few billion has been raised this year so far.

Can you guys suggest me some best ways to reach venture capital investors?

Not sure what you mean, if you HODL enough Bitcoin and did so early enough, you ARE  Venture Capital Investor! Assuming you are still in HODL mode.

That is why I am in BTC. Venture Capitalist says that by the time you learn of something at that level you may be interested in getting into IF it is already

at 50/50 odds it is too late. Nothing to buy. Because everyone will jump on something on first knowing about it at 50/50 odds.

This seems to be the case because in 2013 and again in 2019(?) when Bitcoin hit its $3,200 USD low, the yelling and screaming  from family/friends/strangers

the internet...on me continuing to HOLD and even, gasp BUY MORE, BTC, er, hmmm, .well, it was sooooo bad, I expected a county social worker to be called

on me because I could not manage my money. From what everyone was shouting.

So I don't need to find a Venture Capitalist, as long as I am in HODL mode, I am that beastie!

My bad, I have to clarify my situation. I mean the VC for a start-up, the way they raise their funds.

Build a great product and they will find you.

Truth.

Too many projects seem to think that there's some sort of secret society of venture capitalists that hide in some remote village somewhere just waiting to be contact by the 'next big thing.'

The truth is, there's not a huge amount of money to go around, and the big dogs eat most of that up. Without extremely strong product that has almost immediate potential to generate revenue, the angels will stay well clear.
I agreed that the level of the quality of the project product will woo venture capitalist but there are slightly different between angel investors and venture capital investors. In the mean time, i will advise the OP to improve the quality level of his project while you try out vcgate, fundingsavvy, 500.co/startups etc.

I supported what you said cause most of new project out there are just imitating and editing previous project ideas. OP, what you need to do is create good product, advertised your and register it in a crypto friendly country.

He's definitely not hodl enough Bitcoin and what's he looking is VC who will invest in his project startup and have stakes in the project product which I think ICObench offer such services.

Usually venture capital investors are involved in a later stage of a start up. Usually you can get started with an angel investor that trusts in you/your idea and helps you in setting up the fundamentals for a VC.

they want to know solid numbers only. what is your income. how many users. how much how many days. and then they will make a decision. these people live in the real world and dont care about your tech. they only care wether you can sell it and how many people will buy it and for how much money.

Let's assume that you don't have a lot going for your start up little money, manpower, and you are just starting from the scratch. Your only way to attract investors in your company or even have one is through your existing connections may it be from your family, friends, or friends of friends or anyone you know who you can get in touch with someone who is into this kind of business. Find that connection you have and you will have a meeting with them. The only problem is you need to make your sales pitch for your business idea the best thing you ever made in order to convince them that also includes the share of your profit and the help you needed from them aside from their money because all they want is just the assurance that they will earn from what you are planning.

As well as that, look to family and friends for investments, and good luck with whatever venture you are doing.

@seratruong, are you the only person that's working on that part of your project? I've looked for some of your post history and is this the exchange that you are working with?


We do have a team. It's just our first step and I want to get the overview when approaching them. Learning here is considered as my first choice, especially from experienced members like you.
it will be very difficult to get funding directly from the VC, they will definitely see what your product concept is, then whether the product you offer is a solution for many people. basically, they will definitely test your product.

maybe you can try a way to come to the big BANK in your town and ask for help to directly connect to the VCs that work with their BANK, because some VCs have worked with BANK (Private to Private)... once again good luck for your project  Wink

I've had quite a lot of success finding individual investors, just by attending blockchain-related events.
Just talk to as many people as possible and exchange contact info, to build up your network.

Let people know what you're working on and try to gauge interest that way.

They are the most difficult people to convince and ask for capital if you are looking for investors.

Most of the exchange startups made their own token sale but you need an extreme marketing for that.
It really depends on your situation, I've had a lot of family and friends be welcoming to investment ideas.

If it's an exchange, do a token sale! They seem to be very successful, and try draw money from your personal sources to fund the marketing side of it.
I guess so and we have different situation and experience. Here in our culture, that's the reality and it's really happening.

As for the personal fund, I think OP is already aware that he has to do that. And token sales doesn't really guaranteed that it's going to become successful but he has the choice to do it.

But it's just many didn't became successful funding their exchanges through that or some did became successful through the sale but now, they are facing another problem and that is the volume.
It depends on the culture and what type of friends/family he has, but it's still a pretty option, and it helps with things if your able to get money from friends, especially if the friends want to work together with you. Some people say to not mix friendship and business, but I think it's fine.

There are a lot of VC out there. Fenbushi, FGB, Yellow and so on. I don't know how they choose the project though, and most of them only invest in a company which runs a token sale.

Keep in mind that those crypto VCs are not really a supporter. They'll sell your tokens to other investors to gain profits as soon as possible. Which is why most of them invest in Binance IEO.
It might be difficult getting funding if your project is an exchange from VC's due to the large amount of them out there, conflict of interest, and also lack of interest.

I'd personally recommend dusting up your exchange, going for a soft launch, and then going for an IEO on the platform shortly after. You can try sell your own tokens, or offer ICO/IEO projects free IEO listings.

Good luck with your project mate.

Use Angellist to find singular investors, there is a dedicated section just for companies and investments. Other ways would be running similar to ICO campaigns, where you'd advertise that you are looking for investments.



Thanks for your help, I'll figure out more about that.

It's pretty hard to find singular venture capital investors, it's much easier to find firms that work with a lot of companies, but there are some ways to do so.

Use Angellist to find singular investors, there is a dedicated section just for companies and investments. Other ways would be running similar to ICO campaigns, where you'd advertise that you are looking for investments.

Other than that, look at investment firms (most of these are quite strict, so be prepared to go through months of waiting and information).

As well as that, look to family and friends for investments, and good luck with whatever venture you are doing.
