This is my story; I am Mon Anthony Era. It has been almost two years since my life was featured in newspapers in different countries. It is an honor for me.
I am just a simple person raised on an island. We are not wealthy and live a truly simple life. I never imagined that someone like me would be known in other countries, and that my life story would be heard.
Of course, this honor is not just for me but for my parents who raised me. Without them, I would not be Mon Anthony Era. Here is my story, please read it in this newspaper.

What Metrics Matter Most for Series A Success? A Guide to Impressing Investors

Taking a Swing at Series A
Okay, so you’re running a startup. Maybe it’s just you and a couple of friends, squeezed into a tiny apartment with empty coffee cups everywhere, or you’re camped out at a café, hoping the Wi-Fi doesn’t give up on you.
You’ve got some early wins maybe a few people using your product, a bit of local hype, or even a couple of business awards for being clever and scrappy. Now you’re looking at Series A funding, that big moment where you show the world your idea’s not just a side project but something that could really take off.
It’s not just about getting cash; it’s about convincing investors you’re worth their trust. How do you even start? And how do you keep going for Series B or C? I’m here to walk you through it, and honestly, I’m kind of blown away by anyone who makes this work.
I’ve seen friends lose sleep over this, stressing about pitches, and I want to help you figure it out without the panic. This is all about giving you a straight-up, easy-to-follow guide to landing Series A and keeping things moving.
We’ll check out what’s going on in the funding world, share some real stories from founders who’ve been there, and take a quick look at what’s coming next.
It’s a lot, but it’s kind of exciting when you think about where your startup could end up.
What’s Going on with Funding Right Now?

It’s July 2025, and getting funding feels like trying to convince your picky uncle to try your new recipe. Crunchbase says investors poured $91 billion into startups worldwide in Q2, but Series A deals are down to $26 billion, which is lower than it’s been in a bit.
Investors are acting like they’ve got their money locked in a safe, asking for real proof like how much money you’re making or how many people use your product.
AI startups are the big shots, grabbing $40 billion in Q2 alone, while other areas like online shops or money apps are scrambling for attention.
Back in 2021, startups raised $462 billion across all stages, and a good story could get you funded. Now, you need solid numbers. CB Insights says only 46% of startups with seed money make it to Series A. That’s tough to hear.
The hard part is showing you’re not just a cool idea that’ll fade away. With things like new taxes in the U.S. or China’s startup funding dropping to $6.5 billion in Q1, investors are on edge.
But there’s still hope, especially in hot areas like green tech or health tech. I was grabbing lunch with a friend last weekend, and they told me about a founder who got rejected 80 times before landing a $9 million Series A by showing how many people kept coming back to their app.
It’s a grind, but it’s possible. So, what’s that one number you could show off to make investors stop and listen? It’s worth thinking about what makes your startup stand out, because that’s what connects you to the funding you need.
How to Land Series A and Keep Going
Let’s get into the real stuff, how to actually make Series A happen and set yourself up for more. It’s not just about having a great product;
It’s about working smart, building trust, and not tripping over the simple things. Here’s what works, with some stories to show it’s not just talk.
Show Numbers That Get Investors Excited
Investors love numbers. They want to see how much money you’re making, how many people use your product, or something that says, “This startup’s going somewhere.”
Take ElevateBio, a health tech company that raised $401 million in Series D last year. They didn’t just talk about their tech they showed test results and deals with big hospitals.
For Series A, you don’t need that kind of scale, but you need something, like 3,000 people using your app or $5,000 a month coming in. I know a guy who spent hours tracking every click in his app just to prove people were hooked.
It was a hassle, but it got him $2 million. What numbers can you pull out? If you’re not making money yet, maybe show how many people signed up for your waitlist or what beta testers are saying.
That kind of proof is what connects you to investors, showing them you’re making real progress.
Start Talking to Investors Early
Here’s a mistake I’ve seen way too many times: founders waiting until they’re out of cash to start pitching. Don’t do that.
Start chatting with investors way before you need the money, like six months or even a year out. Go to startup events, leave a quick comment on an investor’s post online, or send an email about their latest deal.
I heard about a founder who got their Series A because they’d been emailing an investor random thoughts about their industry for months.
When it was time to pitch, the investor was like, “Hey, I know you!” It’s all about building trust early, which makes pitching later so much easier.
Who can you reach out to this week? Even a small connection can grow into something big, and it sets you up for things like global partnerships later on.
Use Global Partnerships to Look Like a Big Deal
A strong global partnership can make you seem like you’re already playing in the big leagues. It’s like getting a nod from someone who’s a big deal.
Take Aisles, an AI retail startup that raised $30 million in Series A last year. They teamed up with a major European store to test their AI tools, which showed they could handle big markets.
I was grabbing drinks with a friend in logistics, and they said their deal with an Asian shipping company was what got investors excited for their $5 million round.
It’s not just about the partnership, it’s about showing you can think big and work across borders. That kind of credibility ties back to building trust with investors.
Who could you team up with to show you’re ready for the world? I keep thinking about this one startup I saw that partnered with a small overseas company, it wasn’t fancy, but it made them look serious.
Make Your Pitch Deck Feel Like You
Your pitch deck is like your first chance to make investors like you. Keep it short, 10 slides, maybe 11 with clear numbers about your market, your progress, and your team.
I saw a pitch once where the founder added a slide about their team’s late-night pizza runs to show how hard they worked. It was a bit quirky, but it made the pitch feel real, and the investors were into it.
Just don’t go too wild, too much fluff, and they’ll tune out. Are you telling a story that makes investors feel your vision? Or are you just throwing numbers at them?
I’ve seen both, and the story always hits harder. A good pitch deck connects your numbers to your big idea, which is what gets investors excited.
VC Funding vs. Other Paths: What’s Your Thing?

Let’s talk about your options. Venture capital is the go-to for Series A big firms like Sequoia give you money, connections, and some bragging rights.
But you’re giving up 20–30% of your company, and they’ll want you to grow fast, like, super fast. Crowdfunding on sites like Kickstarter lets you keep control and see if people like your idea, but it’s mostly for things like gadgets or games.
Then there’s revenue-based financing, where you pay back investors with a chunk of your sales. Companies like Gilion offer loans based on how you’re doing, but those payments can make your bank account feel tight.
Each option’s got its good and bad sides. VC funding gets you in with the big players but puts you under pressure. Crowdfunding gets people excited but might not impress serious investors.
Revenue-based financing avoids giving up your company but can stress you out with repayments. I’m kind of torn I like VC for the connections, but I’ve seen founders do amazing things with crowdfunding when they had a loyal crowd.
One edtech startup raised $300,000 on Indiegogo, and that buzz helped them get a $6 million Series A. That kind of success ties back to showing traction, like we talked about earlier.
What feels like your thing? Maybe a mix of both? I keep going back and forth on this myself, thinking about what I’d do if I were in your shoes.
Where’s Startup Funding Headed?
The future’s looking pretty wild. AI tools, like SignalFire’s platform, are starting to match startups with investors based on numbers, not just charm.
That could be great for you less talking, more showing off your data. But it means your numbers have to be solid, which connects to the traction we talked about earlier.
Areas like green tech and educational technology are super hot edtech’s expected to pull in $10 billion in 2025, especially for AI tools that help people learn.
I was at a friend’s place for a barbecue last weekend, and a founder there was saying their edtech platform for remote workers is already getting investor calls. That’s the kind of thing that gets people pumped.
The catch? Investors want startups to stay private longer, with more rounds like Series D before going public. That means you need to think big maybe a global partnership or selling in new countries, which ties back to showing you can scale.
It’s exciting, but it’s a lot to handle. If you’re in something like edtech, how do you stand out when big companies like Google are poking around? The funding world’s getting smarter and more connected, which could be a huge opportunity if you’re ready.
Honestly, it makes me a bit nervous just thinking about it, but it’s also kind of exciting to imagine where it could take you.
Bringing It All Together

So, where does this leave you? Landing Series A and beyond is about showing you’ve got something real, building trust, and thinking a few steps ahead.
Whether it’s chasing business awards to boost your reputation, locking in a global partnership to show you’re ready for the world, or trying something like crowdfunding, there’s a lot you can do.
The funding game’s tough rejections are just part of it but there’s so much potential, especially in areas like educational technology. Keep working on your pitch, start talking to investors now, and don’t be afraid to try something different.
All these steps connect numbers build trust, partnerships show scale, and a good pitch ties it all together.
I’m cheering for you, and I’m curious — what’s the first thing you’re going to try this week? Maybe I’ll get inspired and try something new myself, just for fun.

From India to Georgia: A Smart Guide for Students to Achieve MBBS Success Abroad
Due to intense competition and limited seats, Indian students have started pursuing MBBS abroad. European countries like Georgia nurture both educational and cultural aspects. In case you have made up your mind to travel to Georgia for your studies at BAU International University Batumi, you might want to look into this guide about do’s and don’ts.
Why MBBS Abroad?
India’s Restriction of Seats: In India, the number of available medical seats is very restrictive. Out of the 1 lakh available, there are 16 lakh aspirants vying for the seats. Many students find themselves in a position where their home country does not provide sufficient medical seats.
Economic Accessibility: Unlike the privately funded colleges in India, the MBBS courses abroad have lower fees, therefore making them more economically viable for a wider range of students.
Global Recognition: Degrees from reputed foreign universities are accepted in multiple nations, allowing students to practice in several countries, thus enhancing substantial career prospects.
Broadening Borders: The wide range of cultures that can be interacted with and the people met abroad helps students develop a wider perspective towards life.
DOs
Research Thoroughly
University Reputation: Make sure you verify a particular university’s reputation and accreditation. Check if it is listed by the Indian Medical Council and other global medical bodies to avoid issues practicing back home or elsewhere.
Medium of Instruction: As English is the predominant medium used across numerous medical institutions, confirm whether it is the medium of instruction or not.
Meet Eligibility Criteria
Academic Requirements: Check that you at least have a minimum 50% in PCB (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) in your 10+2 examinations. This is the standard requirement for most medical programs.
NEET Qualification: Completing NEET is a requirement, as it is necessary for MBBS admission abroad. You will find that most foreign universities expect that score from Indian students.
Prepare Documents
Passport and Visa: Furthermore, ensure your passport is valid for at least one more year. It’s important for visa applications and travel. Apply for a student visa well in advance to avoid last-minute hassle.
NEET Scorecard and Medical Certificate: Ensure you have all relevant documents, such as a passport, medical certificate, and NEET scorecard. Also, check that all documents are valid and not close to expiration.
Plan Finances
Total Cost Calculation: Make a budget plan for your study abroad expenses, including tuition and living costs. Account for lodging, sustenance, and transportation.
Scholarships and Financial Aid: Search for any available scholarships or grants. Several universities provide scholarships for foreign students based on criteria or given aid.
Bank Account: Set up a new bank account in the country you are relocating to for easier access to your finances.
Stay in Touch
University and Peers: Continuously communicate with your institution and other students to know what changes, if any, will happen. Being in touch with students will ensure you do not miss any critical information like deadlines or other events.
Student Groups: Participate in student groups or forums to connect with others facing similar challenges.
Cultural Adaptation
Learn Local Culture: You should be open to understanding the Georgian way of life and their practices. Learning these elements will enable you to enjoy your stay better. Cultural adaptation will be an extra advantage to your experience abroad.
Basic Phrases: Pick up a few words in the local dialects of the people to assist you in engagements as well as appreciate the culture.
DON’Ts
Don’t Rush
Proper Research: Decisions about the university should not be made hastily without conducting adequate research on a particular university and its affiliated programs. Make sure to check the various available options and take your time in selecting what best fits you.
Don’t Ignore Local Laws
Familiarize with Laws: In Georgia, individuals must be aware of local customs and laws to avoid legal trouble. Knowing the local customs and laws will keep you safe and compliant.
Don't Forget To Purchase International Health Insurance
Health Coverage: Medical emergencies can be extremely costly, which is why it is important to purchase international health insurance. Health insurance is very important to protect yourself financially in case of any medical expenses.
Don’t Forget FMGE Preparation
Early Preparation: If practicing in India is your ultimate goal, starting your preparations for the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE) should be your first step. Foreign medical graduates wishing to practice in India must pass the FMGE examination. Remember to utilize online study guides, books, and other materials available to you in order to prepare for the changing exam pattern and syllabus.
Don’t Miss Important Deadlines
Track Deadlines: Dates such as visa and application deadlines are crucial to be both noted and remembered to ensure a smooth transition.
BAU International University Batumi - an overview
Accreditation: Check the accreditation of the institutions and the recognition from the medical council of your country. This will make sure that you have no problems with employment internationally.
Curriculum: Make sure that the syllabus is prepared in compliance with international standards to help in FMGE, if needed. A well-designed and detailed syllabus will aid in the preparation for the exams and practical sessions.
Student life: Get to know what facilities are there at the campus, the different student bodies and their activities, and the cultural events that are organized. A vibrant campus life fosters creativity, helps students build useful connections, and enhances personal growth.
Clinical exposure: It is preferential to the universities, which gives us an abundance of clinical exposure and practice. Georgia offers extensive clinical exposure, ensuring students gain hands-on experience crucial for their medical education.
Final thoughts
Pursuing MBBS in another country can be a game-changing experience for students seeking a prospect in advanced medicine as well as ace the new cultures, thereby expanding their professional and cultural spheres. By following the above-mentioned tips, you can ease the transition. More importantly, this experience is not only educational but rather enlightening on various levels. If you're overwhelmed by options, reach out to consultants like HSA Visa World for guidance.
At the commencement of your journey, ensure that you concentrate on your objectives while also being receptive to new opportunities. Interacting with other students and professors will provide you with valuable information and chances. Remember your ultimate career objectives, whether they are in India or foreign countries. Also, do not forget to keep in contact with friends and family. This will motivate and support you.

Why Global Partnerships Are Key to Growing Your Startup Fast

Okay, so, you ever wonder how people start companies from nothing and actually make it? Like, no money, just a dream, and the world’s kind of a mess? I’ve been reading about these startup CEOs from different countries, and it’s wild.
They’re not perfect, but they’re figuring it out. A big thing is global partnership nobody does this alone. You need friends in other countries, whether it’s for cash, ideas, or just knowing how things work somewhere else.
I’m writing this because I got sucked into their stories, and I think you’ll like them too. Maybe you’re not starting a business, but there’s stuff here to help you lead your team, your family, whatever.
Why’s this worth your time? These CEOs have tricks that can make you better at handling tough stuff. Let’s dive in, even if I ramble a bit.
What’s Going On with Startup Bosses Right Now?
Running a startup in 2025 is like juggling flaming torches. A report I saw, Startup Genome, 2024, says 60% of startups fail in three years. Ouch. That’s better than years ago when it was 70%, but still, it’s rough.
These CEOs deal with crazy stuff: teams working from home (or not), customers who want companies to care about the world, and investors who aren’t handing out money like they used to.
Funding dropped 15% last year, I read somewhere Crunchbase, maybe? So, bosses are getting creative, like trading favors or asking fans for money online.
Work’s a mess too. Some CEOs are like, “Work from anywhere!” Others are begging everyone to come to the office. My friend who works in tech says her boss wants everyone in-person, and it’s driving her nuts.
Nobody’s got it all figured out, which is kind of comforting, right? Also, people want companies to do good, not just make money. That’s a big deal now.
Some Cool Lessons I Picked Up

1. Be Real with Your People
You know how some bosses act like everything’s fine when it’s not? That’s the worst. Melanie Perkins, who runs Canva in Australia, doesn’t do that. She tells her team everything, money stuff, problems, all of it.
I saw this study, maybe from 2023, saying being open makes your team 20% more into their work. She even says when she’s confused about something.
That’s brave! I tried being super honest with my friends once about a group project, and it was weird but kind of worked. People like when you’re real, I think.
Takeaway: Don’t hide stuff. Share the truth, and people will stick with you.
2. Know the Place You’re In
If you’re going big, you can’t just do the same thing everywhere. Anthony Tan, who started Grab in Malaysia, gets this. His app’s huge for taxis and stuff in Asia because he pays attention to what people there want, like paying with cash in small towns.
He makes global partnerships with local businesses, and that’s why people love Grab. Compare that to another company that tried the same thing and flopped because they didn’t get the local vibe.
My cousin who travels a lot says you gotta respect where you are. But, like, some CEOs try too hard and forget what their company’s about. It’s tricky.
3. Care About Something Real
Here’s where social enterprise comes in. People want companies that do good stuff. There’s this chocolate company in the Netherlands, Tony’s Chocolonely, run by Henk Jan Beltman.
They’re all about stopping bad stuff in chocolate farms, like unfair work. Their sales went up 23% in 2023, I think, because people love that. It’s not just about money, it keeps their team excited too.
But you can’t fake it. I got fooled by a “good” brand once, and it was all talk. Made me mad.
Some expert, Sarah Kaplan from a school called NYU, says companies like this get 30% more money from investors. That’s huge.
4. Switch It Up, but Don’t Lose It
Startups change plans a lot. Vijay Shekhar Sharma, who runs Paytm in India, did this well. His app was big for paying stuff, but when rules changed, he started doing insurance and other things.
I read his company’s making 35% more money now. But he’s also like, “Yeah, I messed up by going too fast.” I like that he owns it.
Other CEOs, though, change so much it’s like, “What are we even doing?” I’d probably be bad at this too many changes stress me out. You gotta switch when it makes sense but keep your main thing clear.
Team Player vs. Bossy Boss: What’s Better?

Not every CEO’s the same, and it’s kind of fun to compare. Some, like Melanie at Canva, are team players they ask everyone what they think. It’s nice, and some 2024 study said it keeps workers around 15% more.
Others, like Vijay at Paytm, just decide stuff and say, “Let’s go.” That’s faster, especially when things are crazy. New startups need that team vibe to get ideas, but bigger ones might need a boss who just picks a path.
Here’s the thing: nobody’s all one way. The best mix it up. Team players can seem like they’re stalling, and bossy types can stress everyone out. I’d probably want a team player, but if stuff’s hitting the fan, just tell me what to do, you know? It’s not perfect either way, and I’m not sure what’s best.
What’s Coming Next?
Looking ahead, being a startup boss is gonna get wilder. AI’s a big deal, some report said 30% of startups will use AI stuff by 2027 to save money. That means bosses need to know tech.
Also, people care about the planet, so investors want green ideas. Like eco tourism, there’s this company, Intrepid Travel, run by James Thornton. They do trips that don’t hurt the environment, and their money went up 18% in 2024. That’s smart, right? People want that.
But it’s not easy. Running teams across the world is a pain, time zones are the worst. And younger workers want jobs that feel good and let them work how they want.

In Conclusion
So, what’s the deal? These CEOs show you gotta be honest, respect where you’re working, and care about something bigger than money. Oh, and change when you need to, but don’t go nuts.
This isn’t just for fancy CEOs you can use this stuff leading a club, a family, or just your own life.
I keep thinking about that eco tourism thing with Thornton. It’s cool to build something that’s good for the world. Could you do that? Or maybe you’ve got a favorite trick from these CEOs what would you try?
