H-E-B Supplier Diversity engaged this week seeking solution partners for the co-packing and manufacturing infrastructure gap facing San Antonio and Austin's CPG community — before we closed a single investment. Thesis validated. Building the production backbone for veteran-owned and culturally relevant consumer goods innovators across South and Central Texas. Bexar County ED and Prosper West meetings this week. FENIX site selection active. Who else in the cohort is building in food, CPG, or regional infrastructure? Let's connect.

Subject: Missing Fields in Entity Management - Cannot Access Firm Admin

Hi Decile Hub Support Team,

I'm trying to complete my Entity Management configuration to access the Firm Admin features, but I'm getting the message "You must configure these values before you can use the Firm Admin."

I may be missing some required fields in the setup process. Could you please help me identify what specific fields need to be completed?

My goals are to:
- Update my investment thesis
- Access website front page editing
- Use the full Firm Admin capabilities

Thank you for your assistance!

My Observations from Y Combinator Summer 2024 Demo Day (and I'd like to hear yours if you attended the YC Demodaya last week.)

:one: Top-Tier Talent: Unlike the W2024 batch which saw many dropouts, this batch was filled with graduates and PhDs from renowned institutions like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Carnegie Mellon, and more.

It's inspiring to see founders who not only excel academically but also bring a wealth of experience, some even selling companies or working for unicorns in their high school years!

:two: Diverse Co-Founders: It’s heartening to see many teams representing diversity across backgrounds, skill sets, and perspectives. Diversity isn't just a buzzword; it's becoming a core strength in the startup world. :crossed_fingers:

:three: Solid Traction Early On: Many startups already have paid pilots and impressive early metrics. Examples include:

- $42K MRR in just 3 months
- 6 pilots & 3 contracts signed within 3 months
- $50K ARR in 3 weeks
- $120K in 5 weeks

These founders have a deep understanding of their markets and are laser-focused on execution.

:four: AI Startups Leading the Charge: AI/ML startups dominate this batch, not only creating solutions but also tackling the next generation of AI and machine learning challenges.

:five: Experienced Founders Returning: The batch also included some seasoned YC alumni, leveraging their past experience to build even more impactful companies. It’s fascinating to see these experienced founders iterating on new ideas with the benefit of prior learning.

:six: Rise of Healthcare Startups: There was a noticeable uptick in healthcare-focused companies, a timely response to the ongoing challenges in the US healthcare system. Founders are building innovative solutions to address real systemic issues, which couldn't be more urgent.

:seven: Experienced Teams from Tech Layoffs: The recent tech layoffs have unleashed a new generation of founders. These leaders, seasoned in team building and product development, are channeling their expertise into creating the next unicorns.

The future of innovation looks brighter than ever, and I’m excited to see how these trends will shape the startup ecosystem. :bulb:

Firms are re-entering secondary market. Sounds like optimism on venture and bigger funds think there are deals to be had... This is a great time to be deploying.

*Hedge funds are falling out of favor with wealthy investors*
"Only 1% of North American family offices are conducting searches for hedge fund managers for future investments, down by more than half compared to 2022, according to a survey from Preqin. The 1% of searches compares to 45% for real estate and 39% for venture capital and private equity."

Thank you Cindy Skalicky. Just got back to the hotel after a long day of networking. The pitch was great. Shared my story with a room full of 150 ecosystem partners. Multiple leads from people who want to help connect me with investors they know. Met one UHNWI who I have connections with through a friend and committed LP, always good to take advantage of an opportunity to shake hands.

One of my portfolio companies just did one of the largest deals of the year on Shark Tank Mexico:

They're producing and have large clients like HSBC, Coca Cola and a 10,000 store pharmacy chain.

They're going to open up a large seed round coming up if anyone wants an intro. Founder is amazing at sales and they have a great use case for AI / Computer vision.

I am excited to announce the upcoming launch of my podcast 🎙️, where I plan to invite various venture capitalists (VCs), managing partners, general partners (GPs), and angel investors. The goal of this podcast is educational, aimed at explaining how a VC investor makes an investment, what they look for, how they analyze a startup, how they evaluate red flags, assess the market size based on the industry, culture, and geographical location of the startup, as well as the stage of the company.

This podcast will serve a dual purpose: it will help tech startups understand how to approach investors, prepare for pitching, and what investors are looking for, while also providing VCs with visibility and a platform to discuss their investment strategies and attract potential deal flow.

To participate, you must be part of a VC firm or be a general partner, managing partner, venture partner, or have made angel investments previously. If you are interested in participating in the podcast, please contact me directly. The podcast will be recorded online via Zoom, or locally for those in Dubai.

Dm me for details here: 00971522175017
Looking forward to your participation!
