Collective VC - Deal Hunt - October-November 2023

Collective VC Brings You Our Top Impact Startups From Oct-Nov.

First Newsletter Release! 

• We’ve got 15 impact startups below (in a PDF) in no particular order. 

• They include Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series-A Startups.

• They range from AgriTech, BioTech, E-Commerce, CleanTech, AI/Fintech, Data, Web3, and FoodTech.

• Each is rated with a 1-5 ⭐ system.

• The number of stars assigned to each startup is a subjective indication of our perception that there might be more information available about these startups and sectors.

• These stars do not represent a prediction of success, value, or an endorsement. Rather, they suggest a subjective view that there may be less difficulty in uncovering details about both the company and its sector.

• We’ve just done a surface-level screening of the availability of information and consolidated what we found, and all thoughts are our own. 

• If you are looking for advice, you are in the wrong place. Please thoroughly see our disclaimer below.

Disclaimer:

We do not give financial advice. We do not encourage investment. We provide information that may be subsequently verified and used, at a readers discretion, within an entirely external and independent analysis, diligence, and evaluation. If you are looking for financial advice, speak to a financial advisor (we are not).

Our mission is free from any monetary incentive, involvement, investment, or interest whatsoever. Our company does not have any owned investments or equities in any company. It is solely to publicise and raise awareness about impact-driven startups from a concise, informational perspective. We don’t endorse them. But if they aren’t known about - less people will take a detailed and evaluative look into them (this is not a service that we will ever provide). We believe startups have the power to solve certain world issues - and therefore, we give them publicity. We are not financially affiliated with any of the startups. We also cannot verify any details or information provided to us by the startups that is replicated in this newsletter. Research and diligence is always your responsibility. For updated details, information, data, or decks, you are required to contact the founders or a recognised representative of the startups.

We are a non-profit newsletter, so this is just publicity for the founders who we believe to be tackling important environmental issues. Their perceived impact is not verified by us. We're just the messengers. We also do not provide qualified investment advice whatsoever, we are not financial advisors, and are not legally recognised by anybody as financial advisors.

Startups are risky, inherently volatile and unpredictable, and that is exactly why this newsletter does not and will never provide any investment advice or recommendations, because as we are not financial advisors, our analysis would never be definitively comprehensive, sound, professional, genuine, or reliable. Therefore, the investability ratings are based on a limited, surface level screening of the availability of potentially relevant information, and and should never be considered an indication of investment potential. This is because the startups are not presented as opportunities, but rather, we are only publicising who they are, what they do, what their mission is. Do not conflate this provision and consolidation of information with any sort of endorsement to invest or take risk. We are not suggesting you take any sort of risk at all.

Any positive descriptors, notes, adjectives, or phrases referencing startups or founders enclosed (for instance, promising, potential, friendly, experienced, exciting, major upside, strong, etc) are completely subjective and are not an endorsement to invest, merely a subjective descriptor of the startup itself or it’s mission, especially considering our interest in the impact they are creating. Once again, this is not meant to be an influencing factor. The term 'investability' used in this newsletter is subjective and does not serve as an indicator of the actual investment potential of the featured startups. It is a term utilized for descriptive purposes only and reflects an extremely limited and non-advisory assessment of (our subjectively perceived) availability of information about any individual startup, rather than any sort of standardized, recognized, regulated, professional, or qualified metric. The title 'Deal Hunt' is not intended to convey any endorsement or evaluation of startups. The word ‘deal hunt’ implies that we are trying to make finding information to be used in an independent evaluative process easier. Through this compilation, we ease the process of procuring ‘deal flow’, industry terminology that refers to the amount of startups that investors, each with their own due diligence processes, are able to look at. That is where the word deal is drawn from. This is not intended as an endorsement in any capacity.

Readers should exercise caution and refrain from conflating the term 'investability' with a recommendation or assurance of investment success. The purpose of the emojis and our descriptions is solely for aesthetic and formatting purposes, and this newsletter is primarily intended to promote the featured startups that each suggest themselves to have environmental or social impact. The number of stars next to to each startup is a subjective indication of our perception that there might be more information available about these startups or sectors, from an academic, corporate, or professional perspective. This is NOT an influencing or encouraging rating to invest, but a rating as to how much relevant information we perceive to be available about each startup for a subsequent independent evaluative process. It is important to clarify that these stars do not and will never represent a prediction of success, value, or an endorsement. They are also not calculated in any formulaic, replicable, or mathematical/quantitative way. Rather, they are just emojis, and they suggest our subjective view that there may be less difficulty in uncovering details about both the company and its sector, if you did indeed wish to proceed with YOUR OWN evaluative or due diligence process, independent from our newsletter.

In sum, we are not advisors, this is to raise awareness only, and you are required to conduct your own thorough due diligence on every single part of a company and its information before making any investment decisions, and we are in no way liable for any decisions made as a result of this newsletter. This is made abundantly clear both in this disclaimer and throughout our various channels. Readers will always hold all responsibility for their decisions in all jurisdictions.
