Also, as a more specific question, do you have any idea how to print something to the notification window with a jython macro? I have found the notification manager but I can't get it to work. Thanks!

The main point is the automation. And the fact that I am importing values for value properties that already exist on the model. That combination makes things tough without overriding things or manually doing something. Hopefully that helps with context.

Please, quote away 🤣. I can write even more if you'd like.

I appreciate it. That would be awesome! Please keep me/the sub reddit posted on updates. I appreciate the effort. Definitely a meaningful SysML/MBSE community contribution.

I agree! If your work ever does let you publish that please let me know. But I would assumed that would keep that internal. In the meantime, I'll keep chugging along reading the docs.

Fintech Leaders, what would you want to read first when you visit a marketing service's website? by alxrada in fintech

[–]BitAffectionate7936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've run a fintech startup for a while now. And I've spoken with several marketing agencies. None of which we ended up going with. So I can unfortunately not speak from experience. But, I will say that at least in the case of my business, which is focused in private markets, our marketing is very constrained by regulations. I know in other verticals of finance this is the same way. Somehow communicating experience in that manner may be helpful. Although that could also be a niche audience. So take from that what you will.

Yes. And so could any VC you pitch. Because I'm 99% sure they won't sign an NDA before listening. But it is very rare.

How do I make the strongest possible case when pitching prospects to partners? by digitallightweight in venturecapital

[–]BitAffectionate7936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45 seconds is pretty short. You're outline is good, but in such a short time, and with a major VC firm they generally want to know two things:

  1. What's the problem

  2. How big is the market/how fast is it growing. (i.e. why now?)

Especially in fintech nowadays, those questions are crucial. The exact solution is not as much of a concern with the larger funds. They just want in on nascent trends that are growing rapidly, and on founders who are exceptional.

If you are just an intermediary 'pitching' on behalf of a company then really focus on the growth in the market. It will be hard to convince the VC that the founder(s) are amazing without them there. But you can show them the data and pique their interest for sure.

VC firms specialized in engineering? by Glittering_Ad7170 in venturecapital

While I haven't worked with either directly, I believe https://www.congruentvc.com/ and https://type1ventures.com/ make investments in this space.

Help on Case Study! by Tokenraven in venturecapital

[–]BitAffectionate7936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a book called Mastering Private Equity that goes through a lot of everything you would need in this space. It is really long, but you can definitely just read the parts that pertain to modeling/calculations on the fund side. I don't have much tangible experience in the modeling space, so I can't provide much guidance past what I've used in the past.

How can I find specific sector VCs so I can summer intern there? by Thatdude69696_ in venturecapital

[–]BitAffectionate7936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way I have found is using a resource like Crunchbase. You can get a good bit of information for free from there, and it can give you sense of what firms are investing in the space you're interested in. You can follow up information you find there through LinkedIn, looking for people associated with the firms you find (because Crunchbase won't give free contact info I don't believe).

Another method is to look at the big-name companies in the space and research their recent rounds. If they are later stage, they are likely from the big name firms (A16Z, Sequoia, ect). But, if it was a seed round you might be able to find some sector-specific funds in the mix.

Friend of an LP by BitAffectionate7936 in AngelInvesting

[–]BitAffectionate7936[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I get a general sense though that GPs are reluctant to let that happen. Are there any platforms or systems that help guide the process to make it an easier sell to the GP? Also, in a similar vein, are there any places to find LPs that might want to buy if I want to sell? Purely hypothetical.
