ZAKA VC, our co-founder, hosted a great event yesterday with inspiring speakers, Ján Kasper and Alex Dang. 💯 We explored #AI and the changes it brings (which have never been this fast before), and how #SiliconValley became a hub of bold ideas, fast pivots, big innovations, and high-risk investments creating the tech giants we know today. 👉 In other words: a place where #venturemindset isn’t theory, but daily practice.
📖🎉 The principles of this mindset are captured in the book Venture Mindset, co-authored by Alex Dang, which also celebrated the launch of its Slovak edition yesterday.

Don’t validate to impress investors.
Validate so you don’t build something nobody wants. 🚀
Validation isn’t “Do you like my idea?”
It’s: Would you pay for it?
Friends cheer.
Real users challenge you. That’s where growth starts.
3 quick rules for early validation:
1️⃣ Validate the problem first
2️⃣ Talk to people who actually feel the pain
3️⃣ Look for proof (sign-ups > compliments)
With real traction, you don’t need buzzwords. 👍

What did VC data reveal in 2025? 🤔
“2025 wasn’t a return to 2021 — it was a reset of the venture system,” says Peter Pašek, Co-founder of AceON Accelerator.
🔍 Key VC insights from 2025:
💰 Capital grew, but concentrated — fewer start-ups raised more money
🤖 AI became infrastructure, not hype (44% of VC capital)
🌱 Seed turned into the riskiest round
⚠️ Series B became the new “death valley”
📉 Founder ownership dropped sharply after Series C
🔥 Burn rate = a true test of leadership quality
2025 tested resilience.
What will 2026 bring for start-ups and VC? Link in bio ✨
