How the covid19 lockdown affects startup and venture capital business? We discussed it with Anton Fedorov, investment director at Flashpoint Venture Capital.

Our speaker believes that lockdown is a good time for venture capital funds to start investing. The history shows that crisis times in 2001-2002 and 2009-2010 were the best years when VCs made the most of their money. He also describes, how VCs select startups, what is the investor's decision-making process, what do venture capitalists look for, and how to approach venture investors for funding.

And what is happening with startups during the lockdown? In Anton's opinion, there are 2 main verticals among startups: the winners (like telemedicine and same-day delivery) and misfortunate models (travel, HR, etc). How to save a startup during the crisis and avoid bankruptcy? How to approach fundraising? Anton shared startup survival advice, answering these and other questions from startup founders.
