📜 Unfolding the Portuguese Startup Scene Report 📜 Over the next few weeks, we'll be unveiling key insights from our Portuguese Startup Scene Report 2023 that we presented earlier this year. Let's start with the economic framework of the Portuguese market and its impact on the VC scene: 📉 Throughout 2023, the market continued to contract, following trends from the previous year 📉 We recorded a 24% decrease in the number of investment rounds from 2022 to 2023, coupled with a significant 76% reduction in total investment volume, measured in millions of euros (Disclaimer: a relevant number of companies raised internal bridge rounds which are not typically announced and, as such, are not captured in these numbers) 📉 Significant reduction in the number of deals in Seed and Series A stages when compared to 2022 (-45% and -59% respectively), as international investors and local VCs, the main investors in Seed and Series A stages in 2022, significantly reduced their investment activity 📉 90% reduction in estimated invested amount in Series B and beyond compared to 2022, a contraction mainly driven by lower demand for capital (due to burning rate reduction efforts from startups) and more prudent (and portfolio-focused) investors Discover the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dxvDCWqv Stay tuned for more insights coming soon! 🔜 #Armilar #VentureCapital #StartupSceneReport #Startups

We're taking the stage today to congratulate our own Rodolfo Condessa on his 5th anniversary at Armilar! 👏 Your contribution to the team has been of unmeasurable value, consistently offering excellent insights and fostering growth. We are very proud of how you have evolved these years, congratulations! We invite all of you to read the content from Rodolfo Condessa's post below as it presents very interesting thoughts around founding teams. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to many more years! 🚀 #Armilar #VentureCapital #Recognition
Five Years On I recently marked my fifth anniversary at Armilar and in the VC industry. After a chaotic first few years (just trying to keep my head above water), I’ve been developing a mental model of the VC practice to guide my strategic decisions and daily tasks. Regrettably (but predictably), I’m still far from having a good-enough model – five years in VC feels like halfway through an internship... The topic I focus on the most is the founding team. When building a relationship with founders, I apply a simple layered framework to gauge my willingness to partner with the team. Foundational Layer (who the founders are): 1. Integrity: No comments needed… 2. Resilience: Are the founders committed to an ultra-marathon? 3. Leadership: Can the founders inspire and enlist the right people to help achieve their mission? 4. Excellence: Do the founders compete for the gold in their field? Operational Layer (how the founders operate, with emphasis on the CEO): 1. Substance: Do the founders focus on execution and creating value for their customers? Products don’t sell themselves, and the CEO needs to “go out and shine” (a light on the company). But solid gold is worth significantly more than simple shiny objects: effective salesmanship and rigor are not mutually exclusive. 2. Pragmatism: Does the CEO make decisions by balancing the founders’ “profound convictions” and “what the world is actually telling them”? Sometimes the best business decisions turn out to be those that are counter-intuitive to “outsiders”. However, “not listening” as modus operandi rarely produces consistently positive outcomes. 3. Alignment: Can the CEO keep everyone moving in the same direction throughout the journey? Maintaining alignment among co-founders, staff, investors, clients, and partners is critical – and extremely difficult. 4. Recharging: Do the founders “have a life” outside their business? Founders will “walk through walls” to achieve their goals, but everyone needs to recharge in their own way; a depleted battery does not move the vehicle (and its passengers) forward. There’s a third layer – “Chemistry”. AI and automation will radically disrupt (improve!) VC; but there is one constant in this business: this thing of people just "clicking" that can't be “rationalized”… While many considerations go into an investment decision, the founding team stands above all; so, I guess that putting a bit of thought into this is worthwhile. What’s your framework for assessing teams? (it would be great to read both about VCs assessing founders and founders assessing VCs) -- I'm grateful to the whole team at Armilar, the founders we back, and our investors, for these first five years and look forward to continuing to build my “VC practice mental model”. #founders #startups #entrepreneurship #leadership #venturecapital
