As venture capital and the tech industry as a whole adjust to the new normal, one key theme emerging is that builders will be the ones to benefit. Often referred to as “makers,” these are the entrepreneurs and founders who are committed to building great products and services for the world. In recent years, venture capitalists have become increasingly focused on investing in and supporting these types of entrepreneurs and founders, who create tangible outcomes from their ideas instead of just talking about them.
In the new normal, venture capitalists are taking a far more hands-on approach with the companies they invest in. Rather than simply writing a check and leaving it up to the founders to figure out, many venture capitalists are now offering advice and providing resources to help ensure the success of their investments.
Venture capitalists are also recognizing the importance of supporting early-stage startups. Earlier, investors often shied away from funding early-stage companies, instead focusing on later-stage startups or established businesses. Now, however, venture capitalists are paying more attention to these nascent companies as they possess the potential to yield higher returns with less investment.
The new normal also provides more opportunities for the builders and founders themselves. The focus on early-stage startups provides makers with the chance to get their projects funded and the support they need to quickly become successful. Moreover, makers can take advantage of capital more easily than ever, as venture capitalists are more interested in supporting them than ever before. However, makers should bear in mind that venture capitalists need more than just enthusiasm and a good idea. They are also looking for makers and founders with a track record of success and the right team and resources in place to help them scale quickly.
In the new normal for venture capitalists, builders will be the ones to benefit by having access to better resources, improved funding opportunities, and increased support from the investors. This is an exciting time for makers, who can take full advantage of the current climate and the tools available to them to bring their ideas to life.
