Is your whatsapp group the next unicorn?
Dear Reader, we encourage our network of angels to make their first startup investments with 1stCheque. It’s manageable to follow up and keep track for the first few investments but what do you do as you expand and diversify your portfolio? How do you track and manage your startup portfolio that you have perhaps built by sourcing deals from multiple channels? Should you use a portfolio management software or the good old excel can help you track your exit timelines? We answered a lot of these questions in our Angel Bytes section this week. Scroll down to read.
Additionally, in our Favcy Review section this week we decode the freshly introduced crypto tax policy by the government.
And lastly, here’s a small anecdote for you. When I got the idea of my social venture Refittings (clothing alterations services with doorstep pickup and delivery and an all women team), the first step was to find my target audience. After some tinkering around, I found them on multiple Facebook groups. Slowly, I was able to bring them to my contact list and WhatsApp. Three years down the line, I have zero dependency on any third party controlled groups and am able to run the business via my WhatsApp group/broadcast list.
Now that’s the story of a very small business but today in our Short Take we take you through the journeys of some of the startups that are now Unicorns but started off as a WhatsApp group. Scroll down to find out which are these startups.
Do share your feedback on this effort. You can mail us at insider@1stcheque.com
Cheers 🍻
