Investing in startups and companies early in their development carries inherent risk. What are some methods or approaches to employ to assess and mitigate risks when evaluating potential investment opportunities?
Wonder if there are any general key metrics applicable across different industries when evaluating startups or if these metrics differ based on specific industries? If we need to specify, what are the key metrics to consider for emerging industries like AI-related ventures?
In Hollywood, I've always seen famous shows like Silicon Valley which highlighted not only the initial financial investment into a promising startup but also showed how they helped guide them to a major milestone. I was wondering how much of this guiding do Venture Capital firms actually do?
