Venture Capital Reality: Services Businesses Can’t Raise VC + Common Mistake Startup Founders Make

Join us as we delve into the intricate sphere of venture capital and demystify why services businesses struggle to fit the VC investment mold. This video tackles a prevalent misstep many tech startups unknowingly make - the use of service-centric language that may inadvertently discourage investors.
We walk you through the operation models of a diverse array of services industries, including professional services, IT services, healthcare services, and more. Along the way, we uncover why these business structures often fall short in the race for venture funding from institutional funds.
At the end of the video, we cover AngelList as a case study. It serves as a roadmap illustrating how a firm can transition from a service-oriented approach to a tech-centric model that resonates with investors.

Awesomely put together. Had the same arguments years ago - more or less - but from the other side, as an SI.
Everyone thinks they’re a startup, especially when they’re not.

Great to hear from you & so true. It’s the unknown unkowns that lead to tons of frustration and fuck ups…and many services companies just have a fundraising knowledge gap (understandably, why / how would anyone really know before trying and failing the first time). Cheers!
