UpCircle claims that in addition to using natural ingredients that are not needed in the kitchen to make skin care products, they also go a step further to achieve Plastic Negative, that is, they recycle packaging materials and refill them to effectively reduce waste. We also start by analyzing the four points of new ventures: 1. Pain point and market opportunity: UpCircle discovered that coffee grounds are basically discarded after brewing coffee, so the entire coffee industry produces a lot of coffee grounds, so they want to use these coffee grounds that are going to be discarded. 2. Solution： UpCircle said they took a lot of food waste that would otherwise be thrown away and made them into skincare products, including things like nut shells and tree bark. Here is what the title says, they are a skincare company. 3. Entry Barrier： The so-called Plastic Negative, I quoted the description on UpCircle's official website: "For each product we sell, we must set aside part of the ...

  The fundraising video of Mascoteros is very good, it talks about the problem of animal abandonment and abuse, so M wants to donate part of the turnover to solve the problem of pets, but honestly I don't know why, their fundraising status , not very ideal, there are only three days left until the end of fundraising, but only 61% of the funds are raised. It is speculated that it is related to their poor marketing before fundraising. The following is the fundraising link: https://www.crowdcube.com/companies/mascoteros/pitches/lKnnDq We also cut in and analyze from four angles of investment: 1. Pain point and market If M is an e-commerce company that sells pet food in general, then  my personal interest is relatively low, but M points out the problem of pets being abandoned and abused. In Spain, 285,000 cats and dogs are abandoned every year, an area equivalent to the size of three football stadiums. There were 957 reported pet abuse cases last year. Nowadays, people will claim ...

  Recently, we started to build the official website of Foundersbacker. We use Wix. In fact, we can also use other free modular stand tools. Many free modular stand tools, whether it is UI or UX, have done far, it is much better than finding an unknown engineer and creating a website privately. Anyway, the point of the official website is to make it easy for people to search and know what this company or organization is doing. Foundesbacker originally expected to be an easy and simple angel fund from the beginning of its establishment, but after actually starting to scan the team in the market, it will be found that the problem is not small. Generally, the expected rate of return of angel funds is 30 to 100 times. However, if the foundation of internationalization is not done well at the beginning of the business, it will make the already difficult things even more difficult. So our most important indicator in the near future is to find 3 to 5 companies, or even just 1 good co...

  In addition to my own judgment, I also forwarded this case to a blind friend with rich entrepreneurial experience. He gave me a "very interesting" reply, so I assumed his views were the same as mine, but we are still the same, by judging new innovations The four aspects of evaluation: 1. Pain points and market opportunities: In the first minute of the fundraising video, the pain point of the market has been effectively described (fundraising website: https://www.crowdcube.com/companies/wewalk/pitches/qnoxgl ), the co-founder Kürşat himself is blind, so his description of pain points is very convincing: "If you look at technology trends, you will find that many things are constantly improving, such as self-driving cars, delivering packages with drones, but because I am blind, I have been thinking about it. , why isn't there a mobile solution to the problem of the blind?" This problem is not only to solve the problems of the founders themselves, but also a good ...
