@makerjak For perspective, typical indirect rates are in the range of 50%, which is 1/3 of total project cost. If you consider the base to be COGS, this is not a lot of overhead to support an enterprise. We would certainly frown at a startup with such meager financials.
We extend our sincerest appreciation to @StitesLaw for their partnership in our UKWIN event. Their continued support has been instrumental, and we are deeply thankful. Thank you for your unwavering support in recognizing and celebrating our female innovators at UKY!
Here's an insight I gave a founder about assessing investment likelihood from a family office she has met with twice. 1) Did they make their money (wealth) from anything related to your business plan? 2) Do they have any personal passion for the problem you're solving?

It seems like 2024 is setup to be a decent recovery year for startups and venture investing. My predictions include +25% seed/A deal volume, +15% seed/A valuations, and +60% exit volume as compared to 2023.
According to Carta, during 2023 only 1 in 5 startups that raised their seed rounds 2 yrs prior were successful raising a Series A. I guess some of those startups became self-sustaining but also guess that most that survived raised bridge/extension rounds at painful valuations.
A stronger startup ecosystem starts with breaking down barriers to access, uplifting diverse founders, and democratizing access to capital 💸
And that's why we've teamed-up with @universityofky and @LaunchBlueKY in its latest ‘Build to Scale’ grant 👉
