Invest in products used by Deliveroo and Lime alongside Outlander, Flori, & more
Welcome back from the Stonks & OnePager team! Reminder to sign up for Stonks to see deals like these during live demo days:
After almost two full years, some sad news to start this newsletter: this will likely be the last OnePager Investor Day. This has been one of our favorite projects that has lasted through several iterations, peaks, and troughs of OnePager and we want to thank you all for being a part of the journey!
We are having an incredible time building and connecting founders and investors at Stonks and hope we see you all there!
Back to business - you know we weren’t going to go out on a weak note! This group of founders for our 31st Investor Day is one of the strongest we’ve ever had.
Take a look below!
Investor Day - 25 Startups Raising $36M
Our Favorite OnePagers
Check out the three companies we’re most excited about:
City Shoppe - With existing backing from Outlander VC & Scale VC, City Shoppe is looking to close the remaining half of their $500k Pre-Seed to help SMBs expand their customer base at a fraction of the cost. The last few years have seen a massive decline in ROI for ad marketplaces like Google, Facebook, and Amazon - City Shoppe helps SMBs work together to cross-sell and target existing customer bases. Although City Shoppe is on the earlier side, their 92% retention is impressive and their opportunity will grow alongside SMB and Ecomm growth.
K-Safe - The UK-based, K-Safe team is providing incident detection for couriers to ensure they stay safe and minimize insurance claim leakage. Their platform, Flare, is already used by some of the world’s biggest companies, including Deliveroo and Lime. They have wildly impressive metrics: 2,414% MoM user growth, 94% Profit Margin, and $0.03 CAC. As they look to close the remaining GBP600k of their Seed Round, this is a great opportunity to invest in a high growth, early-stage business.
Sendit.Money - While crypto markets are in a lull, one thing that the rise of web3 building has shown over the last year is that decentralized monetary systems can be immensely valuable to citizens of historically volatile or inflation-prone countries. Michael and Julie are bringing decentralized, cross-border payments to Africa - the continent that has led the global financial system in adoption of online banking and mobile payments. With existing backing from Flori Ventures, Sendit.Money is raising a $2M Seed.
Final Investor Day Bonus: Nic’s Personal Favorites
I’ve always tried to write these newsletters with an objective approach - rather than just tell you which companies I think are cool… but I’ve looked at 6,000+ OnePagers in the last two years and this is the last Investor Day, so… here they are:
SwiftRead - This product is honestly just super cool and helpful - I’ve installed and used it a few times and it helps me stay focused, while reading significantly faster. Founded by Troy Shu (brother of HiHome founder, Tony Shu), SwiftRead uses rapid serial visual presentation to optimize how both your eyes and your brain read. At 200k users and 15% MoM Rev Growth, this is an awesome opportunity to get in early on a company with massive growth potential.
Bunnii - For the last few years, I’ve thought the fertility and pre-natal space is ripe for opportunity. I’m clearly not the only one as companies and fertility services have amassed a sea of different services and solutions. Bunnii is making it easy for women to find the best way for them to navigate their fertility journey through goal-setting and route-planning. Fertility treatments are expanding rapidly and women will need a product to help them navigate their options and journey. Final note: the all-female founders are probably the most impressive founding team we’ve ever had on OnePager.
As a final note - all your support over the last few years has been exceptional. We can’t emphasize how great it was to work with you in discovering and investing in some of the world’s most impressive new companies. Please connect with us on Twitter (Nic, Jack, Adam) or LinkedIn (Nic, Jack, Adam) and stay in touch!
Thanks for reading and talk soon,
Nic, Jack, & Adam
