The VC ecosystem is more competitive than ever, more funding competes for the best deals and LPS, and more varied landscapes featuring expert funds, single GPS and new investment strategies. It is important to stand outside, including more funds than competing for attention. LPS wants to invest in funds with a strong market location and the top founder is looking for VCS with the reputation of Strong. A strong brand may be a high-profile investment landing or deciding in the absence. Bringing and PR are not just about visibility – they form the concept, create faith and in the end, who finally value and who can invest in the best companies affects.
After creating and conducting IR & PR programs for VC companies across Europe, I have witnessed how the VC game has become a brand-and fame.
A strong presence and well -established profile top deals can create differences between securing and ignoring. Reputation determines who takes your call, who wants you in their rounds and which LPS is committed to your funds.

The presence of a strong public can increase the next two, creating a difference between a scene that attracts opportunities and has to chase them.
Fame
For LPS, investment is not just number. Beyond the financial return, they look for funds that are the trusted, skills and a unique investment and standardized strategy of the project. VCS who expresses a clear view and stands on the leadership of thought in the market.
At the same time, the top founder not only evaluates financial terms – they choose investors on the basis of fame, network and perceived quality. When the competition for deals is high, branding and fame can be a decisionful cause.
Creates the presence of a strong media and the position of strategic PR status. Helps to be present on the top of the mind for both LPS and the founder who is clearly defined as what you stand as an investor.
