Firsthand experience

As a Business Development Manager at a crypto-venture capital firm, you've identified a new and promising blockchain project for potential investment. What do you do?

First, you start by building a relationship with the project's team. You organize meetings to get to know each other better and build trust. During these meetings, you ask targeted questions about their project, vision, and challenges. This is a important step in relationship management, as it's not only about assessing the project but also about developing a long-term collaboration. You leverage your existing network in the crypto space to gather background information and introduce the project team to valuable contacts, such as technology experts and potential partners.

In the next phase, you focus on the negotiation process with the project team, building upon the already established relationship. You work with them to create a deal structure that is beneficial for both parties. This involves not only the financial aspects but also agreements on ongoing support and collaboration after the investment. The goal is to create a partnership where your firm acts not just as an investor but also as an advisor and mentor. You maintain regular communication with the project team, offer guidance, and ensure they have access to the necessary resources and networks to succeed.

Growth

Currently, MN Capital is still in the startup phase, meaning that the way an employee can develop depends on their own initiative.
