Latest tidbits of information on venture capital from all over the world

Wow first podcast of 2020... listen for some lessons learned and the great Stefan Koritar

Ellie Cachette doesn’t back down in the face of adversity. She takes it in stride and makes the best out of every situation, and it shows.

She is the founder of Cachette Capital Management, a global trust fund focused on early-stage venture capital investing, which sometimes also dabbles in software development and mobile products.

But she wasn’t born managing a trust fund. She worked all around the SaaS industry, and she’s got hands-on experience both as a Technical Manager and a Marketing Manager.

She knows how the startup ecosystem works. And she was kind enough to sit down for a fireside chat and share her wisdom.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

The Quest of Ellie Cachette and how she got where she is today
The Entrepreneur Spirit and how to harness it
How the Romanian ecosystem works
How Investors think before they invest in your startup
How you need to adapt your expectations
The right mindset to succeed

"The first thing we always tell founders is to launch their product right away; for the simple reason that this is the only way to fully understand customers’ problems and whether the product meets their needs.
