Article Series: Decoding Venture Debt
By: Stride Ventures
Tags: Venture Capital, Entrepreneurship, Startup, Funding, Silicon Valley

#1 Scale of opportunity in India

Overview

Venture Debt has been soaking the limelight ever since the onset of the pandemic. The Venture Capital ecosystem, however, has been familiar with the term and its use for some time. The concept of ‘venture lending’ was pioneered by Silicon Valley Bank in the early 1980s. Today, SVB is a global leader in the space and has close to $100 bn in assets. Venture debt has increasingly played a pivotal role for startups in mature markets and accounts for 10–15% of the total venture capital deployed.

The Indian Opportunity

In India, venture debt is a niche in the startup ecosystem. However, it has grown rapidly over the last few years as the Indian markets move towards maturity. It accounted for a little over 2% of the total capital deployed by VCs in 2019, a leap from a mere 0.5% in 2014. To put into perspective, the total capital deployed and the dry powder available with VC in 2019 stood at $10 bn and $7 bn, respectively. The total venture debt deployed in 2019 was a little over $200 mn, a 6x increase compared to 2015. Venture debt, therefore, continues to capture a larger slice of the pie even as the pie grows bigger in size.

At Stride, we recognize the enormity of the opportunity in India. Our core philosophy is to revolutionize venture lending by partnering with market leaders and providing all-encompassing debt solutions to our portfolio companies. Our belief in this space and our philosophy has been further bolstered over the course of our journey since inception in 2019. Yet, as far as we’ve come, the journey has just begun and we are excited for what lies ahead.

Starting a business or Investing in any Stock…Useful Filters
By: Pankaj Gupta
Tags: Investing, Personal Finance, Startup, Stock Market, Funding

If any idea comes to my mind for business or thinking of investing any stock, use 3 filters before deep-diving about it:

1) Scalable (through technology)

a. Going forward there will not be a concept called region leader because using technology anyone can cater to your market, so a company operating only in 1 region may be optimistic now but will face hurdle going forward

b. Also if you are doing any business you might be doing it for your whole life, so no hopping around here

2) Profitable

a. If stock or business requires funding at regular intervals then the idea is not sustainable, because the game / focus is on / about getting funding not on business. Eg: Urban Ladder

b. If you are generating profits in the business, then you can use the money for livelihood / operations, which gives mental peace (Marshalow Theory) post that for scaling the business Eg: Yes Bank

3) Competitors

Now a competitor with deep pockets will disrupt the market, thus smaller player until they are profitable or have funding source will not survive (Eg: Snapdeal)

I want to quote Zakir Khan — “Kal ka Taj Mahal nhi chaiye, aaj ka Jhumri Taliya de do”, but personally I would wait for the “Taj Mahal” (sustainable business), rather than distracted by “Jhumri Talaiya” (business run through funding).
Gaining public support over NASA funding
By: Ranveer Randhawa
Tags: NASA, Funding

Space exploration has led to advances in the healthcare, transportation, and the communication industry. In addition, NASA is a source of income for lots of researchers, scientists, and doctors.

Today a lot of Americans express disapproval of government funding of space exploration and its relevance. As a government official, it is your job to gain public approval over funding of space exploration because the government funded space organizations like NASA are funded using taxpayer’s money. The section follows multiple solution with multiple steps that you can take to help gain more public support over the funding of space exploration.

RAISING AWARENESS

While trying to gather public support, you should try to raise awareness about space exploration in the public as that would help people understand the benefits of space exploration. Consider the following steps:

1)Organize workshops which educate people about space, and the benefits of space exploration.

2)Urge NASA to make online videos to educate people about the benefits of space exploration.

3)Introduce forums where experts can answer the questions of the public regarding space exploration.

4)Urge K-12 education management organizations to introduce cosmology in their curriculum.

If you are unable or struggling to raise awareness, you can release the federal spending records because NASA receives around 0.5% of the federal spending on average, compared to the 15% average federal spending on the defense. However, it is still necessary to raise awareness because public needs to know about the significance of the space exploration before they can provide their support on it.

My Funding Picks For Last Week (W49)
By: Anirudh A Damani
Tags: News, Venture Capital, Startup, Funding, Technology

Every Monday, I sit with my team to review the funding activity of the previous week. From that list, I pick out three companies that I would have loved to invest in or find founders doing similar things. Click here to know about my rationale behind this weekly exercise.

Last week, 23 startups raised $501 million. While we are finally back to funding happening more frequently (almost a deal announced every 7 hours!), this is just a precursor for things to come. I would expect December to only get bigger and better as funds look at closing out this year at a high!

This week, 15 deals were in the early-stage rounds (compared to 11 last week), which made the cut for my weekly analysis. After sifting through the news (aggregated from Tracxn, Inc42, and YourStory), I picked two as my favorite funding news from last week!

Name: Grip

Amount Raised: Undisclosed from Anicut Angel Fund with participation from Gemba Capital and other angel investors.

What does Grip do?

Edited from Tracxn: Grip Invest is an online platform for investing in physical assets such as vehicles, equipment, furniture, among others. It provides tools for leasing investments to corporates, availing monthly rentals, and connecting users and asset owners. Also, acts as collateral to manage overall risks and depreciation of assets.

Why do I like Grip?

Millennials and established HNI’s have become obsessed with the idea of passive income. Since the early days of making high-interest rates from banks are long gone, these new platforms will pique investor interest. As investors in LenDenClub, have investor interest the platform go up 20x in the last four months.

Therefore, if the asset risk and investor expectations get managed prudently, Grip can make logical sense in a diversified fixed-income portfolio for a millennial.

Name: ERPNext

Amount Raised: Rs 10 crore from Rainmatter

What does ERPNext do?

Edited from Tracxn: ERP next is a web-based open-source ERP software on cloud for small and medium businesses. Its solutions include accounting, CRM, HRM, project and sales management, warehouse management. The software has a Model-View-Controller architecture with metadata modeling tools that add flexibility for users to adapt the software to unique purposes without the need for programming. It provides an embedded reporting system with office suite integration along with report customization.

Why do I like ERPNext?

ERPNext is a brilliant platform that is looking at breaking the monopoly of SAP or Oracle at the fraction of the price. I believe that this is a much-needed platform. Nithin’s endorsement gives a lot of confidence in the stability of the company and the quality of the technology therefore more power to them!
HOW TO FUND A FOREIGN MASTER’S DEGREE
Tags: Studies Abroad, Scholarships In Usa, Study In Usa, Higher Education, Funding

If you are at this stage, I would assume that you have already read and benefitted from the blog titled “Job or Masters Abroad after the Bachelor’s Degree”.

At some stage, every student feels intrigued by the question: what comes after the bachelor’s degree?

Now that you have read the comparison between job and MS after Bachelor’s degree and have decided to pursue a master’s degree abroad, you’d most likely look for fully-funded scholarships

Let’s face the bitter truth.

Fully Funded Scholarships Need Significant Home Work

Some of the most reputed fully-funded scholarships are:

Fulbright Scholarship: For universities in the United States

Erasmus Mundus Scholarship: For universities in Europe

DAAD Scholarships: For universities in Germany

Chinese Government Scholarships

What homework is required?

It may vary among various scholarships; for instance, Fulbright scholarships require that you take a GRE exam, DAAD requires a work- experience of 2 years etc.

So, a good approach is to gain experience as a research assistant and add a couple research projects relevant to your area of interest and then apply for a DAAD scholarship. If you are fine with taking a GRE too, then Fulbright might be a better choice.

But, remember, fully-funded scholarships mostly require the awardees to return to their home country and stay for a certain period; Fulbright requires you to return back and live in Pakistan for 5 years.

OTHER OPTIONS FOR FUNDING A MASTER’s DEGREE

Don’t you feel it’s too soon to talk about funding options, provided that you do not know how much a master’s degree costs?

Even that is not the right question to ask. The question we have at hand is: what investment do we require for a master’s degree?

Now, you may think it’s stupid to ask the same question again. But, there’s a difference in how much a degree costs and how much investment you need to make.

Most master’s degree programs are spanned over two years, and the cost of a semester varies drastically.

At this moment, the GREAT GOOD NEWS is:
Why Do They Have This and I Don’t?
By: Patric Corona
Tags: School Management System, Rich And Poor, Funding

Look back to when you were in elementary school or in high school. How many students on average do you remember in your classes? Were your textbooks up to date or were the years of wear and tear visible on your books? Were there enough schools’ materials for each student or did you find yourself having to share with your classmates? Did your school have a school psychologist or you unaware that schools even had a psychologist on their sites?

Decades of disinvestment in public education at the state and federal level has created a large toll on Latinx, Black, and low-income students. On average, California is falling behind by $5,000 or more when compared to the states that make the greatest per-pupil investment which ultimately puts the state at the 45th rank for total taxable resources spent on education. Schools must make tough decisions where to invest their limited funds. Do they pick the students? The teachers? Or on the maintenance to keep the school functioning?

The difference in funding across districts is as clear as night and day. Some schools having computers for each of their students or have new textbooks coming in each year to replace the older outdated books. The facilities look nicer and overall, students and facilities feel better about being there. Having the resources for each student shouldn’t be a luxury or a privilege, it should be mandated for each institution to be able to give their students the adequate tools to succeed academically.

Students in a low income school can identify that their school is nowhere compared to the nice schools they see on TV or ones they see in other cities. While they might not directly ask the question, they definitely wonder why their school doesn’t have the nice things they see that others do. Students in low income communities know that they are at a disadvantage compared to the better off schools and that in itself can deter the students from having the motivation to stay in school and want to learn.

Many young children now during the pandemic were forced to acquire laptops or tablets so that they can do their school work through zoom. Low income school districts that were not able to afford to rent out the appropriate technology to students had to give the burden over to the child’s parents. Even before the pandemic started, there were schools that had computers for each class and others that would provide their students with a type of laptop that the students would use for that school year.

If each student were to have the same resources, there would be a difference in student performance throughout each spectrum. Studies have shown that when students are given the resources to succeed, most students do end up achieving better test results and academic achievement’s than their counterparts. With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting recession, there is an increased pressure on policy makers to adjust the state and local budgets to better assist public education and put a halt on the consequences that our current funding policy is making.

What is Equity in Startups?
By: Manoj Ahirwar
Tags: Investing, Equity, Startup, Funding, Startup Lessons

Suppose 2 people started a company, initially they would need to create some number of shares for the company. for example, they choose to create 1000 shares for their company.

Now after some discussion, they agreed to have 500–500 shares each. that means they both will own 50% of the company. Equity represents how much stake does own by an individual in the company.

And based on some calculations it finalized that company valuation (worth) is 1000$, which means each share worth 1$.

Let’s say they got an investor to invest 100$ in their company, that means the investor will get 100 shares of the company. Now, none of the founders will reduce their share count but instead, the company will issue 100 new shares (Share ownership rarely changes, when there is a need to have a new partnership, the company always issues new shares).

Initially, we had 1000 shares with a valuation of 1000$. After the investment, the company created 100 new shares. Now if we do the math, there are now 1100 shares for the company. and the valuation of the company now became 1100$.

Let’s see how much equity each of them has in the company. Founder 1 & 2 will have 500 shares each which now represents around 45.45% of the company and investor has around 9.09% of the company.

Benefits of Male Chastity Training
Tags: Chastity Benefits, Cage, Benefits, Training, Lockup

Benefits of Male Chastity Training

There are countless benefits of male chastity to delve into! Some of the most predominant and noticeable benefits include greater intimacy between couples, higher sex drive and libido, an overall happier life, and for dominant/submissive couples – the perfect tool to surrender/take control. Let’s break down these major benefits and highlight a few other outlying benefits of male chastity as well.

Strengthen Relationships & Increase Intimacy :

Steel chastity cages direct toward honest and open relationships with each other’s sexual needs, thereby strengthening your love life and your relationships. Moreover, it will improve the natural bonding among couples.

It Prevents Men from Masturbating:

Your man’s sexual energy should only be directed toward you; it should not get wasted in masturbating. Your man should not use that energy in touching his private parts with the thoughts of another woman in mind.

Happy Sex Life:

With chastity cages, you will have a better and improved sex life because your man will love you until his release. You will feel more erotic and will have more orgasm with growing sex.

No More Worry On Your partner/Spouse Cheating You:

Men, irrespective of how much they love their girls, get directed toward other sexy, appealing, and attractive women. But, these devices hinder their urges and will make them faithful toward you.

There will Always Be Romance:

As long as men have opportunities to have sex with you anytime, there’s no reason left for him to please you. However, by limiting the urges to have sex, they will remain a romantic person always. And, your love will remain fresh like your dating days.

No Need For Oral Sex:

Of course, it’s personal preferences to have oral sex, but your man will be happy with the sort of release after the chastity device sex.

Your Partner Will Feel Better About Themselves:

Men often become a slave of their libido and masturbate quite often. However, if they don’t get into the temptation of pleasing themselves, they will become happy with their self-control.

The Orgasm Will Become Better:

As long as your men can masturbate, he is doing things to desensitize its penis. But, once his ejaculations become normal, his penis will become sensitive, and the orgasm will improve.

4 Holes in Your Strength and Conditioning Program
By: Sam Geurts
Tags: Health, Wellness, Training, Lifestyle, Fitness

Environmental conditioning

Environmental conditioning is a fancy way of saying “exposing yourself to the elements.” This has become increasingly popular in the last few years and something that I’ve been diving deep into.

The 2 biggest things I use for my own environmental conditioning are ice baths and saunas. If I don’t have access to an ice bath, I’ll make sure to get in a cold shower at least once during the day.

People say that is a great tool for recovery from physical activity. I wouldn’t argue with that — I feel like I recover faster when using them. They’re also great for the immune system. It’s kind of like strength training for the capillaries. You get flooded with endorphins. You start to convert white adipose tissue to brown adipose tissue, which actually burns fat instead of storing it.

It’s all well and good to use ice baths for recovery and the benefits I just listed above, that’s not why I use them. I use them as a form of self-induced stress. A way to stress the system in a way you don’t really get with strength training or hill running. A way to stimulate the autonomic nervous system to go into a state of panic. A state where I have to focus on taking control and not letting these automatic processes kick in.

But the real reason I like it is that it’s stress. All you want to do is panic in there. All you want to do is hold your breath or take short, choppy breaths. But over time, you learn to control that autonomic response — much like you can control a sneeze before your body automatically lets one go.

You can better at dealing with stress. At dealing with panic. You learn not to panic in uncomfortable situations. Shit, you actually start to thrive in those situations.

You nail that presentation at work because you’re no longer terrified. You’re not awkward on that first date. You shoot the goal after the siren to win the game. You keep your cool when that asshole cuts you off in traffic.

We don’t lift weights and train really hard to get better at lifting weights and training really hard. We do it to get better at life. We overcome adversity in the gym to make the real struggles in life — the real adversity — easier. Life is stress. Life is struggle. Let’s get better at dealing with it, by going out and not only tolerating discomfort. But actively seeking it out.

The sauna is similar, in that it is a form of stress. It’s hormesis — low dose stimulation to kickstart beneficial changes in the body (where large doses would normally kill). The more we can induce these stressors, this eustress, the better our performance in the gym and in life.

You could ice bath every day or a handful of times each week for 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on the temperature. Cold showers could be used at the end of every shower for 1–3 minutes. And sauna could be used a handful of times each week for up to 30 minutes depending on the heat.
Should high position holders leave in favour of the younger generation?

Whether to replace senior employees with the younger generations have always raised many debates. Some people argue for prompting employees in charge of key roles to leave their positions after reaching 55 years old; however, I deem that it is a definite waste of human resources at the exact time when seniors can be productive at administrative levels.

First and foremost, most roles at the top of a company’s pyramid structure require a great deal of experience that appears scarcely at young ages. To achieve this, a company usually recruits fresh graduates to train them for undertaking serious responsibilities. Such trained forces turn to valuable assets at a time when they are expected to pay off. That is why the loss of them could hinder the long-term prosperity of the company.

Secondly, positions at the top of a company hierarchy, generally, demand administrative skills that solely employees who are experienced and acquainted with a company’s culture would possess. Besides, having reached such levels, the seniors may have access to many secrets of a firm, thereby, losing them may lead to an unintentional revelation of classified documents.

Finally, some people may argue that when employees hold a high position for a long period, they would have uncontrollable monopoly over a company. Admittedly, such power may result in corruption in the system. However, if preventive measures are prescribed by statute to distribute authority among departments, persons and even stockholders, we can simply avoid nepotism or any sort of favouritism in a workplace.

In conclusion, senior employees, irrespective of their age, are invaluable human capital who are able to lead the company on the right track. I believe that a great deal of resources have been spent on training these seniors; hence, forcing them to leave seems not to be aligned with the company’s benefits.
Need To Stay Fit But Don’t Have Time To Hit The Gym? These 3 At-Home Fitness Tips Can Help

Now more than ever, the ability to work from home has become a fundamental asset. Not only for those who work a 9–5 but for the entrepreneurs too.

The internet has become the new marketplace, and while this means that you don’t have to worry about beating the morning traffic, working from home has its own challenges.

If you have children or elderly folk in your home, then you understand these challenges more than most. Before Covid-19, your office was for working, and the home was for tending to those in need.

Now, your home is 2 feet away from your office, and your child is trying to get your attention while your boss is trying to connect with you for a board meeting.

That’s a tough situation on both ends!

Additionally, your twice a week gym routine that you were able to make because the gym was a 5-minute drive from your office? Yeah, that’s not happening anymore.

So you’re stuck. Not able to go to the gym and bombarded by responsibilities on every side.

Does this sound like you?

Studies show that adding exercise to your daily routine is a great way to improve your capacity to deal with stressful situations.

By following these three tips, you’ll not only benefit from a healthy body and a healthy mind.

Eat clean

Eating clean refers to consuming foods that have the right balance of essential nutrients. It means staying away from unhealthy sources of fat and carbohydrates and focusing on consuming a high protein and leafy vegetable meal.

Every serious trainer will tell you that the most critical aspect of staying fit is your diet. You can spend hours in the gym, but if you don’t eat right, you won’t see any results!

Increase your cardio workouts

Many people that go to the gym skimp on cardio. If you step out of your home right now and challenge the most muscular guy you see to a foot race, you’ll see that it’s true. He might beat you, but he’ll be panting for breath just as much or even more than you do.

Cardio increases your lung capacity and helps your bloodstream deliver much-needed oxygen to your muscles. This allows your muscles to work harder and longer and helps you to stay active during the day.

One of the best forms of cardio is HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) exercises. And you can do this in the comfort of your home!

Subscribe to online fitness programs

Many people find it hard to exercise on their own, and that’s why they need the gym and a trainer to stay active. If this is you, then an online fitness program could help to replicate the atmosphere in the gym in your home.

If you’re looking for a way to implement all three tips discussed, CocoFit has an online program that will help you incorporate everything. They’ll also help you implement healthier exercise and eating patterns too!

Train Smart 4 ways

When it comes to smart, effective training, going all out isn’t always the best option. One of my sports directors said it best: “It’s easy to train hard, but it’s much more challenging to train hard the right way.” It might sound simple, but year after year, I still see athletes overtraining and losing out on their best possible results because of it. What they don’t realize is that it’s import to train smart.

1.Take A Scientific Approach

The approach to training itself has come a long way from my beginnings as a young rider. As a child, I remember the coach telling me “If it hurt today, then it was good training.” As I got older, training became more scientific and structured. When I partook in sports school in Belgium, we measured our resting heart rate first thing in the morning and wrote it into our official journals.We’d check our heart rates on the bike too, but in an old-fashioned way — our coach would actually drive behind us as we rode, honking his horn at a rhythm that allowed us to calculate our heartbeats.

2.Add Variety To Your Workouts Variety is the spice of life, so mix it up a little. When I was training, I often scheduled my workouts in three-day blocks. On the first day, my muscles were the freshest and most rested, which made that the day to do high powered, short and intensive workouts. The second day would consist of longer but less-intense workouts. After creating damage to muscle cells for two days, I would finish with a long-and-slow day, something like 6 hours on the bike and no intervals at all. The first day was to build up max power and increase heart rate, the second day was to build stamina, and the third day of that block was to build up endurance and basic miles.

3.Slowly Build Up Your Momentum In the ideal scenario, your season build-up looks like a pyramid: there’s tons of long-and-slow base miles and rides on the bottom as a foundation. Little by little, you reduce the quantity and increase the quality of your training — that means less hours and more intervals. The most successful cyclist ever, Eddy Merckx, once said you must experience pain when training to make races become easy. From my own experience, I can tell you that your body is only able to do things it has gone through in training. If you want to push 500 watts for 5 minutes, then you cannot train with only 250 watts all year long. You need to slowly train your body to this level, using interval pushes to get closer to your goal.
