出版首先,你和你的家人是如何在這些COVID-19時間做什麼?謝謝你邀請我。我和我的家人正在做的很好,謝謝你的邀請。告訴我們關於你,你的職業,以及你如何InstaVal成立。Akram El Youssi:我在金融和投資行業已經超過20在買賣雙方,外彙,股票資本市場結構性融資、私募股權投資、投資銀行。在我的時間在私人股本和投資銀行業務,我觀察到缺醫少藥的企業家是如何資助他們的業務。我已指示無數交易價值數百萬美元的交易價值在不同的行業和垂直。有了這些經驗,我覺得的義務與企業家分享以劃算的價格質量的建議。我接著說,成立了一個小型谘詢公司為了解決這個問題,雖然這種做法是成功的,仍然沒有有效的,顯然不是可伸縮。這是這個想法出生時編纂領域知識,利用工作流自動化,與人工智能和權力幫助創業者獲得資助的規模。 This was the genesis of InstaVal. How does InstaVal innovate? Akram El Youssi: InstaVal’s innovation is built on leveraging technology at the service of the promotion of equity investments in startups and scaleups, and so the platform offers founders three core values : Discover Business Valuation Get a defensible business valuation at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods by leveraging investment & financial domain knowledge with data-driven technology. Get Deal Ready In addition to the company valuation report, the platform offers all the investment expertise, advice, and resources that founders need regardless of their level of financial knowledge to prepare key financing documents. It then provides them with an investment data room to allow them to share investment documents and engage with investors seamlessly. Get Investor Matched & Engage After the data room completion, the proprietary platform algorithm shortlists the most relevant investors for the founder to then apply to and track progress in real-time. To date, the platform lists a committed community of over 500 investors from the MENA region and beyond. How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your business finances? Akram El Youssi: Being a SaaS Platform, we were less affected than other brick and mortar models. We’ve actually anticipated working-from-home for a few years already, as we’ve invested in processes and tools. And so, we didn’t suffer from change that much. But we are aware that some businesses were not as fortunate as we were. More than ever in the context of Covid19, startups need capital to be successful or survive. Did you have to make difficult choices regarding human resources, and what are the lessons learned? Akram El Youssi: Fortunately, we didn’t have to make any difficult choices. On the contrary, in the last few months, the platform has had a lot of traction with the addition of staff bringing the full-time team up to 9. Furthermore, we have launched an internship program that has welcomed a dozen young finance and marketing talents. How did your customer relationship management evolve? Do you use any specific tools to be efficient? Akram El Youssi: We moved to an online customer relationship management process using a combination of google meet, calendly, WhatsApp, and our CRM to ensure that we could provide a personal experience to our clients without being face to face. Did you benefit from any government grants, and did that help keep your business afloat? Akram El Youssi: No, I did not benefit from any government grants. Your final thoughts? Akram El Youssi: Humanity has reached an age of abundance of technology, entrepreneurship, and capital. Our ambition is to actively contribute to the paradigm change of the early-stage financial intermediation for future generations. Your website?
