VW Partner Kevin Vela published his second edition of Venture in the Middle, discussing a few trends from 2024! 📈 Last year, VW saw a sharp rise in pay-to-play financing rounds, reflecting tougher conditions for both startups and investors. While the market experienced corrections in valuations, early-stage venture funding remained strong and Safe notes remained the dominant financing tool.

Vela Wood reposted this
Excited to share this next step with VirtualTerms! It's been long in the works. Along the way, I've come to know many people, including friends and colleagues, that have launched themselves as solopreneurs or created small agency, consulting, development, and service businesses. Many of them have turned to me or my firm, Vela Wood, for help in creating an entity and their engagement or services agreement. But the reality is that is expensive for a solo or small shop. And, traditional legal agreements are just long, dense, and a bit overwhelming for someone in the service, and not legal, business - let alone your client. That's why we decided to streamline consulting and service agreements to make it easy for modern professionals and their clients. So if you'd like faster, easier legal agreements for a better client engagement experience, I'd love for you to join us as a beta user. 👉 You can join the beta at https://lnkd.in/gZSU3Uik. Or, just comment or message me. I'm happy to get you set up and walk you through it. Feel free to share and re-post for others that may be interested. 👏 And thank you to the team at Particle41, Vela Wood, and Tom Wardman for their continued help and partnership! Appreciate your interest and love to hear your thoughts.
Consulting or acting as fractional marketer, advisor, CxO, or other service provider? 🚀 Let us help you fast-track your client relationships. Ordinary legal agreements are long, dense, and slow you down. 📜 ⏩ That's why, in addition to NDAs, we've transformed consulting agreements for modern professionals. Our new streamlined agreements make it easy for your and your client: 🎁 Quickly create agreements using our streamlined key terms format 🎁 Ensure clarity and save time by focusing on key terms 🎁 Speed agreement and build trust - all agreements link to our third party standardized terms 🎁 Easily create, sign, and track your agreements with one simple end-to-end tool 🌟 Become a Beta User! Interested? We’re looking for enthusiastic users to join our beta. Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out! As a beta user, you'll get: • Exclusive early access to our new agreements • Free beta + 3 months free after the beta period 👉 Interested?
