Miko Matsumura, a managing partner with Gumi Cryptos Capital, shares insights on venture capital funding in a Gaming Startup Collective discussion. Emphasizing the importance of concise and compelling pitch decks, Miko advises entrepreneurs to evoke a sense of urgency within venture capitalists and to present a clear problem-solution dialogue. Considering VCs as 'predatory animals', Miko elaborates that a successful pitch must survive target selection and trigger the investment chase reflex. Other advice includes gauging VCs based on their recent investments, understanding their investment mindset, and seeking introductions through portfolio founders. Miko also shares his experience in web 3.0 investments and advises entrepreneurs to present a clear dissatisfaction that their business aims to address.
