Garaža Investor Report

Why Investors Say "NO"

Garaža Investor Report was created out of our desire to systematize and structure valuable insights from investors who (don't) invest in Serbian startups. Through conversations with them, we tried to gain a deeper understanding of and present the advantages and challenges faced by Serbian startups in the investment-raising process.

Structure

The Garaža investor report consists of two parts:

Overview of the current state of investments in Serbian startups

Detailed analysis of the most common mistakes Serbian founders make when talking to investors

Sample

The survey included 24 VC funds and two Business Angel groups from ten countries, including Serbia, the Balkan region, and Europe. All of them had visited our ecosystem in the past two years and spoken with at least five startups.

Research

Interviews with investors typically consist of a series of open and closed questions, which relate to both the business operations of domestic startups and their fundraising processes.
