Foundersbacker | Empowering corporations to embrace circular innovation

  Metalchemy's fundraising video is very eye-catching. It points out clear pain points and solutions at the beginning. Today, it starts from four perspectives of analyzing new creations: 1. Pain points: - 1 trillion pounds of food is wasted globally a year - 10% greenhouse gases from food waste - Eco-Friendly food packaging market size to reach £191 billion by 2027 2. Solution: - Nanoparticles - Metalchemy manufactures green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) that can kill harmful organisms. The translation means that the nanoparticles produced by the team can remove organic substances that harm the human body. - Bioplastics, used in food packaging, can effectively prolong the preservation of food for 4 to 7 days 3. Team: I spent a lot of time researching this part. Whether it is CEO Federico, Co-founder George Wang, or another Co-founder Patrizia De Santis, the visibility of the three of them on the Internet is very low. It is best that I only find CEO Federico. Linkedin. From Federico ...

  As shown in the title, hoo is a platform that assists hotel guests to get the best deal. There is a selling point, which I personally find interesting. There will be more analysis below: 1. Pain points: - OTA's full name is Online Travel Agency, which is an online travel agency. It spends $2 billion on Google ads every season, and then OTA operators will naturally pass the cost on to consumers and hotel operators. - OTA operators take an average of 18 ~ 25% of the commission, and then if you go to the top search list, you will get a maximum of 40%. 2. Solution: hoo launched a price negotiation mechanism (it is written Negotiate in English, but I actually went to its website to test the booking process, currently it seems to be more inclined to simple price bargaining), there will be a kind of game interest in price negotiation , I want to say whether the hotel will not I will agree with my unreasonable and inexplicable price (but I guess many consumers will offer random prices l...

  Her Roomies, as the name suggests, is a platform that focuses on women's rental housing. A simple, clear and single-click new venture. Before analyzing the four elements of new ventures, we must first introduce a fundraising tool that is very common in foreign countries, but Taiwanese investors do not like to use - Convertible Bond / Note.  In Chinese, it is translated into convertible corporate bonds, but as I just said, knowing Chinese is not quite useful, and it can only help you to check it on Wikipedia. If you really want to use it, you have to find overseas investors. Here, in order to let everyone know more about convertible corporate bonds, I found an article that is clearer than Wikipedia. Those who are interested can take a moment to read: Investment does not have to take shares immediately . The following officially enters the analysis of Her Roomies: 1. Pain points: Her Roomies' briefing, which doesn't mention pain points, uses a positive statement about ho...

 Matugga Distillery is a company that brews rum. Originally, I wanted to say that brewing is a simple and profitable project, but after carefully reading the fundraising case, I decided not to invest and gave this company a bad evaluation. Let's start with the four points of fundraising for new ventures: 1. Pain points: Brewing rum basically doesn't solve any pain points. It's more like the Twitch model that one of my entrepreneurial mentors used as a metaphor. It's called: "Feels good model". 2. Solution: I googled "alcohol addiction" and "drug addiction", and the first article came out. The Chinese title is that the number of people in prison for alcohol addiction exceeds drug addiction, so basically brewing is one of the sources of social chaos, although it is not a crime like drug trafficking. It's deadly, but it's not a solution at all. 3. Competitive barriers: The entire fundraising brief is 43 pages, and magically, there are ...

 As mentioned in the title, today we are going to analyze an experimental education institution called Learnlife. The team declared: "We hope to transform an outdated system born in the industrial era by unleashing a purpose-inspired, personal learning model into the €5trn education market. In other words, they are an educational institution that teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. Let us also look at the four aspects of innovation: 1. Pain points: Anyone who has been a parent knows that every child is born with a different personality, and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the basic, so the pain points are really painful. 2. Solution: The team launched a learning model called "Personal Learning Paradigm", which is Paradigm for personal learning (I don't know how to translate it, but that's what it means. The way of education that breaks the way of education. 3. Entry barriers: - Educational institutions in Barcelona, to grow ...

 As the name suggests, Cabrito Goat Meat is a start-up company that sells goat meat. I've actually seen a similar start-up in Taiwan, but this one in Taiwan sells chicken. The following analysis also starts from four points: 1. Pain points (I wanted to find some information to help support the team's argument, but I couldn't find it for a while): According to Cabrito's description: "Male goats are basically useless in the dairy industry, and in British history and culture, goat meat is not eaten, so these male goats are basically euthanized as soon as they are born. 2. Solution: Simply put, it is to buy the unwanted male goats from these goat farms at a low price, and then resell them to restaurants, wholesale and retail, or sell through their own e-commerce channels. They extract the value of the whole male goat, cut it into lamb chops, or sell it whole, as well as make ground meat, etc. In addition, they also launched two Ready to eat products, one curry flavor a...
