💰…a quick lookback: 1v1Me raises $2M

Company:  1V1Me

Update: I featured 1V1Me in November, when Anthony and his team were starting to think about raising. 1V1Me is a gaming company that enables gamers to make 1 on 1 bets against other gamers. This week, they announced that they raised $2M from On Deck, Erik Torenberg at Village Global and many others. Really excited

🚀 This weeks companies!

Company: SuperChef

Founders: Florent de Rocca-Serra & Alexandre Taisne

Source: Note that SuperChef was introduced to me through Erik Torenbergs On Deck Angel network, meaning it has been through deep due diligence and has passed a very high bar. This will likely be over subscribed.

Stage: Raising a $500k Preseed

Vertical: Food, Community

Business Model: Membership, Marketplace

1-liner: Building the Mobile Operating System for Food Creators, helping them turn audiences into customers

Description: We believe that Chefs are SuperHeroes. We believe that the table is the one and only social network.

Stage: Raising a $500k Preseed

Vertical: Analytics, Fintech, Data

Business Model: B2B, SaaS

1-liner: Finpro gives founders clear insight into their business.

Description: Our predictive-financial projection technology uses company data sources to give founders decision-ready data and actionable next steps for growth. Marketing, sales, product, and finance teams use our recommendations to excel at their job in collaboration with founders to achieve company objectives.

The reason why I’m passionate about Finprothis is that as an entrepreneur, I've spent hours in excel creating business models and it has been a tedious and time-consuming process when I could have spent the time building the actual business. I would have to spend hours explaining them to my teams and investors and I don’t want other entrepreneurs and people who create projections to have to go through the same thing. It was time for a software platform that could give clarity to any business in the shortest amount of time!

Note from the founder: “Investors should invest in my company because it addresses a $60 billion market and I forecast Finpro will be a $100 million ARR company in 5 "years.”

Traction indicators:

• Launched February 2021

• 15 active, paying enterprise clients

• $9k MRR

That’s all for this week!

See you next time,

Jake
