Thoughts for 2025

Max Effgen, January 3, 2025

Angel and Pre-Seed investing has been growing and will continue to grow.

Competition for dollars will continue to be a challenge, especially for first time founders.

The team for young companies is paramount. They need to understand the problem that started the company and have tremendous synergy with each other.

Expect the business model to change to meet the customer.

Know the market entry point and how to get paying customer #1. Most companies that earned angel funding in 2024 already had revenue.

Financial projections are about how to get to be a sustainable business and how you are thinking about the market and your company.

In looking at the dwindling number of personal blog posts from myself and other blogs that I used to follow, this style of blog is dead. There are too many other sites for real-time content and easier to produce formats. Long live the blog.
