Yesterday, the University held a meeting with investors Ondrej Bartos Session of D-Day. This action IDE poriadalo University and was an organizer David Striped Rektorys luck.

Ondrej Bartos to set the short lecture on the topic, which went for investors and a free discussion.

Here are some of my notes:

Ondrej Bartos is Capitalista Venture, a company that collects deposits from small investors and then invest them in bulk to larger firms, these are often called. Start-Up Companies that have a great idea, but do not have the necessary capital to enter the market.

Also invests its own money, which currently has about nine companies, some of them are companies that just acquired an investment in days D.

I regret it but, but some people who invest in the D-Day won, so let's end and it was silent.

Venture capital investors require a return of over 35% because of early stage firms are at greater risk. If the company went bankrupt, the investor does not require the money back (to the exception,).

Therefore, it invests only in projects that can earn lots of money and are well prepared. The greater the risk there is, the greater the yield required by investors.

When went for investors

1) the investors do not go if you're not sure which to go to 100%

Entrepreneurship can be done part time. The entrepreneur has to breathe for your company, it has to get up and go to sleep.

2) the investors do not go if you do not have ambitions to do something big - to change the world

You must have a desire to be the best

3) the investors do not go if you do not have the business plan

Business plan is samospasiteľný. Ensured that do not make a mistake, but will increase your chance of success.

4) the investors do not go if you do not have the business model

Business model is a description of how the company creates value to the customer and deliver it to keep it, it returns. Business to not make money, to be close. Facebook and Twitter were also close to the situation.

5) Do not go for investors if the market has the potential of your product / service

6) Do not go for the investor, if your product does not solve a problem

7) the investors do not go if you do not have an overview of your competition

8) Do not go for the investor, if you lack passion for what you do

9) the investors do not go if you have not done everything you could do without the money the investor

Some other observations:

The product is not as important, more important is the entrepreneur. If the product does not work, that can change over time.

The money can buy the best people to market a particular time.

Anything that applies to dating, is also true for the investor, except for sex.

Schools make a major mistake, creativity and ability to suppress the discussion of bad ideas

The main principle Onřej Bartos: "heaven is a steal" (TGMasaryk)

The communication rule applies Pareto 80/20. The best project pays 80% of their time.

Investors are naturally lazy. If you fear that the investor will steal the idea, so do not be afraid. If this is really something special, so you prefer to invest as if it had to invent itself.
