Enry’s Island S.p.A continues to show impressive growth after the €20M funding round with the US fund LDA and its listing on the Vienna Stock Exchange. In the first 3 months since the listing in April 2023, the stock price has recorded a +30% increase.

Significant performance given that the shares listed on the VSE represent only a minority part of the company’s total shares, and that a significant volume of new shares is going to be listed by August 2024.

Enry’s Island S.p.A.’s complex industrial plan denotes a deep knowledge of the global VC dynamics, based on the 20+ years’ experience of its Founder and Chairman, Mr. Luigi Valerio Rinaldi.

“We have always considered the world as our playing field, not limiting ourselves to the Italian market alone. Our patented model (Enry’s Model™, subject of patents, economics manuals and higher education university courses) defines the main ingredients for doing business (specifically for the startup market) in Concept, Competence and Capital. - Rinaldi says - We have always researched and developed these resources on the international field, thus being able to share our ventures with partners who are always “on the edge” from the perspective of vision, competence, and determination to leave a positive impact in the world.”

The growth of Enry’s Island is demonstrated by the 2023 performance, with a +98% increase in revenue (€1.2M) and an explosive +1335% increase in net profit (€220k), showcasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the best practices designed, developed, and consolidated by Enry’s Island and its team in last years, which leads a community of over 1000 “Islanders” worldwide. Even more significant is that this explosive growth in revenue and net profit does not yet derive from the exits of the portfolio companies, expected for 2025 according to the industrial plan, given the traction of many of Enry’s Island portfolio companies.

The scalability of Enry’s Island ’s business infrastructure is the result of many years of investment in both processes and tools, allowing for a constantly growing revenue per employee (which was €381k in 2023, a 100% growth compared to 2022 in which Revenues per employee settled at €190k ). The innovative framework of Enry’s Island is based on three layers:

- Business layer: including people, companies, and corporate best practices

- Software layer: IT infrastructure

- Space layer: coworking spaces distributed on a global scale

In Enry’s Island, startups are not just assets to be liquidated as soon as possible, but are crucial gears in its business environment.

Indeed, the software layer of the group is led by the portfolio company HUI, which has just closed a Series A round of €25M, after an initial Seed Round (€300k), with another American fund and is in turn finalizing its own listing process. Enry’s Island’s philosophy is to scale alongside its portfolio companies, with a deep alignment of vision, values, objectives, and strategies, ensuring a high quality of life and internal relationships within the ecosystem, and guaranteeing an incredibly low mortality rate of less than 10%, compared to the industry average of 90%.

Regarding the growth strategy outlined in Enry’s Island’s industrial plan, the following drivers are expected:

1. Support for the growth of the current approximately 30 companies in the portfolio.

2. Increase in portfolio volume (+50) through a series of M&A acquisitions.

3. A disruptive approach aimed at democratizing VC for the end user, bringing VC out of the international VC cathedrals (incubators, accelerators, venture builders, VCs, etc.) through a series of extraordinary projects that no other competitor has launched on a global scale.

4. Consistent with the “B2C” logic, the opening of innovative Enry’s Stores, flagship stores that are totally unmanaged where stakeholders of the global VC scene can find all the tools and make networking to grow their startup or invest in the best VC opportunities, and the launch of the first Videogame 3.0 that trains gamers to launch and scale their startup.

Supporting Enry’s Island’s growth strategy is the presence of Rinaldi in the governance of Nimbus as a Venture Partner, which will ensure support for the growth and fundraising of Enry’s Island portfolio companies on one hand, and a highly selective deal flow benefiting Nimbus’s investment strategies on the other, positioning it as a next-gen player with a VC 3.0 vocation.

Attracting Talent: Startups often cannot compete with large companies in terms of salaries, but they can offer stock options as part of the compensation package to attract high-level talent. These plans give employees the opportunity to benefit from the future success of the company.

Employee Retention: Stock options are usually structured to vest over time, incentivizing employees to stay with the company for a longer period. This helps reduce turnover and maintain team continuity.

Alignment of Interests: Stock options align the interests of employees with those of shareholders. If the company succeeds and the value of the shares increases, the employees also benefit. This can increase employee motivation and commitment to the company’s success.

Reduction of Initial Costs: Startups often have limited resources and may not be able to pay high salaries. By offering stock options, they can save on initial compensation costs while still providing an attractive compensation package for employees.

Entrepreneurial Culture: Stock options can promote an entrepreneurial culture within the company. Employees can feel more like co-founders or partners in the company rather than just workers, incentivizing them to work harder and be more innovative.

Tax Incentives: In some countries, stock options may offer tax benefits for both employees and the company. For example, they may be taxed at a lower rate than regular salaries, making them a tax-efficient option.

Flexibility: Stock options offer flexibility in the compensation package, allowing startups to customize the offer according to the needs and expectations of the employees.

 In summary, stock options are a powerful tool that allows startups to attract and retain talent, align employee interests with those of the company, reduce initial costs, promote an entrepreneurial culture, and offer tax advantages. These combined benefits help startups build strong and motivated teams, which are essential for their long-term success and growth.

In the dynamic startup ecosystem, success hinges not only on an innovative idea but also on the ability to execute and scale effectively. The right tools can make the difference between sustainable growth and failure. We will explore the essential categories of tools that every startup should consider to improve project management, product development, marketing, data analysis and financial management, are you ready?

Project Management and Collaboration Effective project management is crucial to keep the team aligned and projects on track. Project management and collaboration tools allow you to organise tasks, assign responsibilities, and monitor progress. These tools help maintain clear communication and avoid confusion, especially in remote or distributed teams.

Marketing and Sales Attracting and retaining customers is essential for any startup’s growth. Marketing and sales tools allow you to automate campaigns, manage customer relationships, and monitor the effectiveness of your strategies. Email management, social media, and CRM tools help build and maintain strong customer relationships.

Analytics and Data Data-driven decisions are more accurate and can lead to better outcomes. Analytics tools allow you to monitor user behaviour, analyse web traffic, and understand product performance metrics. These tools help identify trends and opportunities, enhancing your ability to make informed decisions.

 Finance and Accounting Solid financial management is vital for a startup’s sustainability. Accounting and expense management tools allow you to monitor finances, manage invoices, and maintain an accurate balance sheet. A clear view of the company’s finances helps plan strategically and make informed decisions about investments and resources.

Adopting the right tools is crucial for a startup’s success. Effective project management, organised product development, well-defined marketing and sales strategies, accurate data analysis, solid financial management, and excellent customer service are all key elements that can accelerate growth and lead to success.

HUI is pleased to announce the closing of a €25 million equity capital commitment from Nimbus Capital, a Panama-based fund. This investment will further fuel HUI’s growth as the VC 3.0 Super App, utilized by thousands of entrepreneurs, startups, and investors for its unique market features.

“HUI is a unique Super App, with an impressive code base of over 1.2M lines of code, more than 20 apps covering all business functions and processes—from sales to HR, fundraising to project management, intelligence to crowdfunding—all in a single environment. It requires no coding skills to operate via API with external services, specifically designed for every stakeholder on the global VC scene,” explains Luigi Valerio Rinaldi, founder of HUI and Chairman of Enry’s Island SpA.

HUI’s data-driven approach sets it apart from aggregators like Crunchbase, DealRoom, and PitchBook. Unlike these platforms, HUI does not rely on crawlers for data. Instead, it boasts a comprehensive database and data model, with AI functionalities being developed to offer significant value in recommendations and predictions.

“The data-driven approach and upcoming blockchain and AI features set for Q3 compelled us to invest in HUI,” says Robert J. Baker, Managing Partner at Nimbus Capital. “Nimbus is dedicated to identifying future unicorns and addressing the advanced needs of the global VC landscape. HUI perfectly aligns with our vision.”

The €25 million equity commitment is part of HUI’s traction plan, following a €300k seed round and a commercial partnership with one of the more renowned international IT system integrators. With an increasing number of VC ecosystems adopting HUI, and in preparation for a listing on a European Stock Exchange, supported by a major consulting firm, HUI aims to be the world’s first listed VC 3.0 all-in-one platform.

This investment will significantly accelerate HUI’s product strategy, enhancing its use of AI, Blockchain, and 3.0 features like Metaverse and Gaming. HUI will also expand its marketing and sales activities across markets in the US, Latam, Africa, and the Far East.

The capital commitment also brings Luigi V. Rinaldi on board as a Venture Partner at Nimbus, leveraging his 20 years of VC experience to enhance Nimbus’s financial and technological leadership. 

“I am thrilled with the deep harmony and shared vision with Nimbus and its founder, Robert. This partnership will significantly impact the global VC scene,” adds Luigi Valerio Rinaldi.

14+ apps to all business functions and processes, from sales to HR, fundraising to project management, intelligence to crowdfunding, all in a single environment.

 The wrong choice can lead to conflicts, while the right choice can lead to exponential growth. In this article, we will explore various channels and strategies to find the perfect co-founder.

1. Personal and Professional Network The first step is to look within your own network. Colleagues, friends, and acquaintances can be potential co-founders. Here’s why:

• Mutual Knowledge: You already know their skills and work style.
• Trust: Mutual trust is fundamental for a successful partnership.

2. Networking Events and Meetups Attending networking events and meetups can be extremely effective:

3. Online Platforms There are several online platforms where you can look for co-founders like LinkedIn for example.

4. Hackathons and Competitions Participating in hackathons can help you find people to collaborate with.

5. Universities and Business Schools Universities are great places to find co-founders:

• Collaborations with Students: Many universities have entrepreneurship centres and offer programs where students can meet co-founders.
• University Events: Attend events and competitions organised by universities.

6. Online Communities and Forums Online forums and communities can be useful, for example Reddit.

Finding the ideal co-founder takes time and effort, but by using a combination of the strategies listed above, you will significantly increase your chances of success. You can also access in HUI e search for your co-founder with our Apps. Write us to discover more.

Here there are five common mistakes a startup should avoid during this phase: 

Lack of understanding of the target market: not having a clear definition of the target audience and their needs.  

Incorrect product/market evaluation: launching a product that does not genuinely meet a need or solve a problem for customers.  

Inadeguate pricing strategy: setting prices too high or too low without a well-defined strategy.  

Insufficient marketing and distribution planning: not having a clear and detailed marketing and distribution plan.

The Solitary Journey of a Startup Founder: Navigating Challenges and Opportunities 

Embarking on the path of a startup founder is an extraordinary adventure, full of rewards and opportunities. However, behind the excitement and innovation, there often lies a less visible but equally significant reality: loneliness.

 The Hidden Side of Entrepreneurship Being a founder means taking on immense responsibilities, making crucial decisions, and facing daily challenges that can seem insurmountable. Often, these responsibilities fall solely on the founder’s shoulders, creating a sense of isolation that can be difficult to manage.

The Pressure to Always Be at Your Best From securing funding to managing the team, every aspect of the startup depends on your leadership. The pressure to always be at your best, combined with the need to maintain a positive and motivating attitude for the team, can heighten the feeling of loneliness.

The Importance of Community Participating in networking events, joining startup communities, and getting involved with accelerators or incubators can create a supportive and collaborative environment. Don’t underestimate the power of community: a piece of advice or a word of encouragement can have a substantial impact.

 The Support Network: A Lifeline Despite everything, it’s essential to remember that you are not alone. Building a support network, consisting of mentors, other entrepreneurs, and industry professionals, can make a significant difference. Sharing experiences, challenges, and successes with those who understand your difficulties can alleviate the burden of loneliness and offer new perspectives. Using HUI, you can connect with thousands of founders like you, confronting them and maybe having new business opportunities. Register here for free https://world.hui.land/g/guest/general/Login/registration

 Finding the Right Balance Finally, remember to take care of yourself. Mental and emotional well-being is crucial to your ability to successfully lead your startup. Dedicate time to activities that rejuvenate you and strive to maintain a balance between professional and personal life.

Being a startup founder is a solitary journey, but with the right support network and a strong community, you can transform this loneliness into a source of strength and resilience. Sharing your experiences can also inspire others who are facing the same challenges.

In the current climate, investors are cautious and focus more on traction than on rapid growth when evaluating investment opportunities. 

How to get investors’ attention:  

Engage Early Adopters: identify and engage with early adopters or potential customers who resonate with your product’s value proposition. Collect feedback and testimonials from them to show that there is interest and demand for your solution. 

Focus on User Metrics: Even if you’re not generating revenue yet, track user engagement metrics such as active users, time spent on your platform, or repeat usage. Highlight any positive trends that suggest people find value in your product  

Create pre-sign ups and waitlists: If applicable, create a waitlist of subscribers who express interest in your product. This demonstrates demand and helps validate your idea and vision  

Partnerships: if you’ve established any strategic partnerships, collaborations, or alliances, highlight these in your pitch. Partnerships with established companies or organizations can lend credibility to your startup. 

Showcase Team Strength: Highlight the experience and skills of your team members. Investors are often interested in the expertise of the team driving the startup’s success. 

Market Research and Validation: Present data and insights from market research that demonstrates the market need for your solution. Include information about your target audience, their pain points, and your unique value proposition. 

Early Media Coverage or Recognition: If your startup has received positive media coverage, awards, or recognition from relevant industry bodies, include this information in your pitch. It can add credibility to your venture. 

Social Proof: If any thought leader or industry experts have shown interest in or endorsed your startup, mention it. Social proof can help build investor confidence. 

Clear Go-to-Market Strategy: Outline your plans for reaching your target audience and acquiring customers. Investors want to see that you have a plan for effectively and efficiently reaching potential users. This is particularly important at pre-revenue stage when confidence and trust are built on the team and how they built their plans.

Give your startup visibility, use HUI to manage your business and reach new investors.

 Here are the top reasons to do It:

New Investors: Gain access to a large audience and showcase your idea to raise capital during the early stages of your business.

Less Risk, More Operational Flexibility: Enjoy greater operational and managerial discretion compared to professional investors who often exert significant influence over strategic and operational decisions.

Investor-Clients: Investors can become your first product users, providing rewards such as discounts or limited-time free use of the product, while directly engaging with them.

Simplicity and Limited Costs: Launching a crowdfunding campaign and successfully raising funds involves a limited investment of material, monetary, and time resources. It’s not free or easy to achieve success, but the standardized investment procedures save significant time and money for both parties.
