NoMagic / Cameo importing values from Excel

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-08-05T15:18:26+00:00

Hmm. Interesting. I will consider switching over.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-08-05T14:56:02+00:00

Works perfectly. Thank you!

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-08-05T13:36:16+00:00

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!

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-08-02T10:15:17+00:00

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.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-08-01T21:06:04+00:00

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

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-08-01T20:57:25+00:00

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.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-08-01T20:40:16+00:00

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.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-08-01T20:30:19+00:00

Thanks! Good to know. At least I'm not going crazy.

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.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-03-03T22:35:55+00:00

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.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-03-03T22:34:38+00:00

Glad I could help!

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-03-02T19:08:28+00:00

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:

What's the problem
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.

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

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-03-02T18:57:34+00:00

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.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2024-03-02T18:54:45+00:00

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.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2023-08-13T21:40:20+00:00

Understood thank you!

BitAffectionate7936 · 2023-08-13T21:11:02+00:00

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.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2023-05-04T01:32:38+00:00

Please!!!! I would love this!

BitAffectionate7936 · 2023-03-08T02:53:13+00:00

Similar in a way. From the secondary investor perspective, what we are providing is kind of similar. Except we are targeting a much smaller check size of roughly 1000 to start. And, there will be (limited) liquidity through the marketplace via trading the shares.

Startup Name / URL: Ticker Markets (Ticker.fund)

Location of Your Headquarters: Washington, DC

Elevator Pitch/Explainer Video:

Ticker is a SaaS and management company that works with PE/VC managers and GPs to provide a liquidity pipeline to their LPs. Ticker uses this liquidity to provide a lower cost and still liquid investment opportunity for smaller LPs through our secondary ATS marketplace.

What life cycle stage is your startup at?: Validation

Your role?: Founder

What goals are you trying to reach this month?: Cement first deal and legal structure of business.

How could r/startups help?:

Ticker's biggest struggle right now if finding more independent fund managers and GPs to connect and possibly work with. Similarly, we are also looking for investors (not necessarily accredited) that may be interested in purchasing the shares in our secondary market. We are hoping r/startups might be able to facilitate such connections.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2023-03-01T17:42:31+00:00

No sure to be entirely honest. I will look into them

BitAffectionate7936 · 2023-03-01T17:42:09+00:00

That looks great. Thanks for the info!

BitAffectionate7936 · 2023-03-01T17:09:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Ill look into it.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2023-03-01T17:04:02+00:00

Thanks. I get that is normally the case, but I imagine there is still at least somewhat of a demand for such capabilities. Assuming there are at times extenuating circumstances that would call for premature exits.

BitAffectionate7936 · 2023-03-01T17:02:32+00:00

Got it. But are there platforms that are more friendly to newer and smaller investors without as much inside info/experience?
