Great post from SeedLegals CEO Anthony Rose about the exciting new trend towards agile fundraising which is more flexible and less distracting for founders.

Interestingly I quoted Superhuman founder Rahul Vohra here a year ago hinting at this: “Keep a rolling SAFE open in between formal rounds so that it’s easy to take money from investors at any time.”

Yachting Ventures Announces Dates for Next Cohort

As we enter the post-pandemic world, the global yacht market has thrived and is the strongest it’s been in four years. According to an April 2021 report, the global yacht market—valued at $8.15 billion in 2020—is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 5.2% from 2021 to 2028.

The island of Mallorca and the Balearics are strategically located to benefit tremendously from this continued growth. The islands are a key yachting hub, currently hosting more than 700 nautical companies that employ over 4,000 people and generate more than 420 million euros.  

With the infrastructure and support already in place, Mallorca is a fantastic and strategic place to launch a startup in the leisure maine, yachting and superyachting industries. Yachting Ventures is here to help you do just that. The accelerator has now worked with over 50 startups over two cohorts and has experienced nothing but success. 

You can see a full list of Yachting Ventures startups here: 

https://www.yachtingventures.co/portfolio

The community that Yachting Ventures are building allows for knowledge and resource sharing, increases brand awareness for new startups in the yachting space, and helps make connections to the right people at the right time. 

The Yachting Ventures Team

Yachting Ventures has brought together key industry experts and experienced entrepreneurs who have launched, scaled and sold their own businesses in the yachting space. The Yachting Ventures Mentor team has been carefully selected to provide the best possible support in a business capacity, whilst also giving founders the opportunity to network with some of the leading players in the industry.  

You can see more detail on the Yachting Ventures Mentor team here: 

https://www.yachtingventures.co/team

Gabriella Richardson, founder of Yachting Ventures, grew up on the island and studied at Queens College before moving to London and working for tech startup SeedLegals. At SeedLegals, she worked with founders, startup accelerators and investors to help automate the fundraising process.

The Program

The program itself is fully remote and stage-agnostic. The content covers everything from validating an idea to growth strategies and raising investment. It is an immersive experience, aiming to accelerate the growth by compressing years’ worth of learning into just a few months. Sessions are recorded and all content is accessible online, so founders are able to work at their own pace - wherever they are in the world.

Yachting Ventures 3.0

If you’re thinking about launching a startup, Yachting Ventures is on a mission to help you. 

Applications for the next cohort are now open and the 6 week program itself will start 17th January 2021.

Applications close: 26th November 2021.

Move fast, make things – UK fintech’s response to the coronavirus crisis continues

New Post has been published on https://magzoso.com/tech/move-fast-make-things-uk-fintechs-response-to-the-coronavirus-crisis-continues/

Move fast, make things – UK fintech’s response to the coronavirus crisis continues

The U.K.’s fintech’s response to the coronavirus pandemic so far might best be described as “move fast, [and] make things,” as multiple and sometimes impromptu teams roll out financial technology solutions to help combat the crisis.

Last month, I reported on “Covid Credit,” a project that saw dozens of volunteers from the wider U.K. fintech community build a working prototype to enable freelancers and sole traders to self-certify lost income, in a bid to help the government administer potential compensation.

Since then, a U.K. government grant scheme for self-employed has been announced, prompting employees at Countingup to build a handy “Coronavirus Calculator” that lets you see how much support you could be entitled to to help with financial planning.

Similarly, for U.K. companies — including startups — that need to furlough employees in a bid for survival, Pento’s team have created a “Coronavirus Furlough HMRC Claim Calculator” to help you work out how much will be covered by the U.K. government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme for each employee.

Meanwhile, SeedLegals, though not technically a fintech, has made legal documentation available to ensure you furlough employs legally.

And just launched this morning, Starling Bank has rolled out the “Connected card,” a second debit card connected to your existing Starling current account that you can give out to friends, family and carers to shop on your behalf if you are self-isolating. Astutely, the card is protected with a balance limit of £200 and can be tracked and administered within the Starling mobile app.

Save My Local

Lastly, comes a gigantic effort from another group of fintech volunteers designed to help save local businesses. Dubbed Save My Local, the free website aims to help local businesses generate much-needed cash flow by selling vouchers to loyal customers that can be used for future purchases.

A tweet from entrepreneur Jason Bates (11:FS, Starling, Monzo) inspired Mike Kelly (CEO of Curl.app) to take action and make the idea a reality. Within a week, a team of 20+ volunteers had formed and a first version of the product was “designed, built, and shipped; with businesses signed up and processing orders,” say the group.

The idea is that the vouchers will be redeemable when the coronavirus U.K. lockdown is over, and in the interim will enable small business owners to generate enough cash to stay afloat. Of course, for those purchasing vouchers, there is some risk that a business could still go bust, so it’s best to see this as a somewhat altruistic endeavour, even if in many instances it is a desperately needed one.

The Save My Local group say they are currently recruiting small businesses to test the free voucher platform and if successful can scale to meet demand. They have already had requests for collaboration from groups in Australia, Israel and other countries to see if the solution can be shared more broadly.

Yachting Ventures: the startup accelerator for the yachting industry

With the yachting industry set to be worth $100 billion by 2025, the island of Mallorca is strategically located to benefit tremendously from the continued growth in demand for services and support. The Balearic region is a key yachting hub, currently hosting more than 500 nautical companies that directly employ almost 3,000 people and generate a turnover of 561 million euros. 

Launched in June 2020, Yachting Ventures is the world’s first 10 week accelerator for entrepreneurs looking to launch innovative products and services in the yachting space. The aim is to build a network of startup support and accelerate what has traditionally been an industry slow to adapt to change.

28 founders took part in the first virtual cohort back in September 2020, with Balearic-based startups including Workrest.io, She of the Sea, BOATIQUE and yachting and co.

“Joining the YV cohort was a highlight of 2020! Everything was excellently executed and professional throughout to the highest degree. The quantity and highest quality of mentors that presented and were available for conversations and questions was simply fantastic. Also - to have been introduced to like minded entrepreneurs and to now have them in my personal network will reap great benefits over the years to come.” - Tim Fletcher, Founder @ Workrest
