Question

Erkin Bek · Accepted Answer

Rather the innovativeness of the startup and its expansion not only in a small market, but also in a global one

Answer

Venture capitalists are attracted to startups that demonstrate a clear and compelling value proposition, a strong team with a proven track record, and a scalable business model with the potential for high returns.

Nico Spijker · Answer

A team they believe in (products might pivot and the markets constantly change, so they're still relevant but the main bet goes towards the team I think).

Answer

Very simple: fast traction, high customer retention, growing customer activation rate, and market scale potential.

Depends on a startup, but either retention or revenue.
