What does productivity mean to you?
How productive were you this week? This month? This year?
How many deals did you close? How many companies did you screen? How many startups did you talk to?
Are your daily routine and work habits productive enough? Do they bring you where you want to be?
Can you do better?
Investors' role is critical for building and empowering the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
But most investors I talked to agree that they don’t have enough time to review all the incoming companies and that often leads to missing out on great deals.
Information overload keeps increasing, digital communication creates too many distractions, and all this informational noise around makes it harder to focus.
Investors share that too much time is wasted on daily meetings, not enough time for in-depth analysis and prepared decision making - and that often leads to mistakes and affects long-term investment results.
Human error mistakes become more and more costly, now that we are competing with big data and AI algorithms.
Not getting back to great founders in time also has a price... On the other side lack of investors' presence on Twitter and other platforms, affects their reputation and credibility among the startups, and that in the end affects the quality of your deal flow.
With the recession coming, investors believe, the competition to invest in the best companies will become even fiercer.
While many investors keep applying their familiar routines and habits from year to year - that won’t help them get better results, especially with the world spinning faster each day.
The volume of information and communication is growing exponentially - and it will only get worse. Without the right management system in place and the right productivity habits - that one factor only can kill your productivity.
Investors need to be prepared to operate efficiently in a technology-dominated world.
Plus you are expected to keep up with all the high-performing founders.
It is so important for an investor to be familiar with new tools and applications for productivity, project, and time management that come out every day.
Now imagine this: each new generation of investors joining the pool every year will be faster, more tech-savvy, and more agile than you...
So you have to keep up, to stay tuned: what are the effective tools everybody is using, and what are the new apps you can start using to optimize your work.
Are you ready for what is coming?
Winning and succeeding in the Web3 world can be more challenging, and you want to stay on top of your game and be ahead of the competition.
So is Productivity important for an Investor?
You know what they say about unproductive founders, that soon the problem of the founder becomes the problem of the company.
Can that also be applied to investors? But investors can't afford to be a problem - they are expected to be a solution!
So let’s get together and let’s get equipped with the latest knowledge and new practices to increase your personal and work productivity - to help you navigate and close more great deals faster and build a better world!
There is no time to waste! It's time to upgrade your skills to take on the challenges ahead!
