The Flowlie Times #9
Greeting from the VC world! Tools for articles and great fundraising news inside.
Hi Friends,
This is Mike from Flowlie. This bi-weekly newsletter includes the top articles about VC & PE, ranging from operations, tech and tax advice to trends, notable guides, and news on recent capital raises.
We hope you enjoy and find some value! If you do, make sure to share it with a friend.
Today's reads
Two great articles for founders: “A New Era for PLG: Introducing the Age of Connected Work” and “The Minimum Viable Testing Process for Evaluating Startup Ideas”. The former article is loved by our team for its deep dive into product-led growth - something we are working towards at Flowlie. The latter describes the process behind minimum viable testing of startup/product ideas.
And one cautionary tale for crypto enthusiasts (only for those participating in insider trading) - DOJ is pursuing its first case of insider trading involving NFTs. How will this affect the myriad of NFT-based startups and their employees? We’ll have to see…
News from venture
First, MicroAcquire raises $5M at $80M valuation. Their service provides a more realistic exit to founders than an IPO or broker-led sales process; MicroAcquire helps companies… get acquired.
Next up, Yummy news. Specifically, about Yummy - delivery and ride-sharing super app in LatAm - raising another round. One of the fastest spree of rounds and growth we have seen lately. Of course, it would be even faster if they were using Flowlie…
Finally, Felt raised $4.5M to bring more… maps into our lives by simplifying the process of creating and sharing beautiful and useful maps. Our CEO said: “To be honest.. It’s kinda cute”.
Flowlie feature highlight
Today’s highlight is FlowLink. As an investor, you can share your FlowLink with the public or with selected founders. Founders will be able to submit the information about their rounds directly to your Triage. FlowLink works perfectly as a deal intake form that you can even add to your website.
As always, feel free to email us with any questions. We are glad to chat!
Thank you,
Mike from Flowlie
