After listening to eight or ten companies pitch back-to-back, what do you actually remember?

Usually, not another list of features.

Andrey Kostyuk has spent years on both sides of investment conversations, and one thing consistently matters: founders need to know their value proposition, but they also need to know how to communicate it.

Because the negotiation doesn’t begin when the term sheet appears. The way a company frames its value starts shaping that conversation much earlier.

And for investors reviewing opportunity after opportunity, clarity and a strong story make a company much easier to remember.

Good deals can fall apart over one unresolved point.

And sometimes the problem isn’t the issue itself. It’s allowing that issue to stop the entire negotiation.
“Be hard on the problem, soft on people” is one of the principles

Andrey Kostyuk comes back to when negotiating deals. Separate the person from the position, solve what can be solved, and keep the conversation moving.

For founders and investors alike, the more you can agree on, the easier it becomes to focus on what’s actually left to negotiate.

September was a month of important milestones at AAlchemy Ventures!

We successfully exited Sveta through a management buyout (MBO), closing a long and rewarding investment journey.

Congratulations to the team, and we wish them continued success!
And the next chapter is already underway.

Part of the exit proceeds has been reinvested into , strengthening our wider collaboration. We’ll have more to share about this during Web Summit!

Alongside these developments, our investment activity continued with new opportunities entering our pipeline, ongoing screening and conversations across our international investor network.

Here's a look at our September investment snapshot.

A “no” from one investor is an opinion. The same “no” from ten investors starts to become data.

For founders, that distinction matters. The real value of an unsuccessful investor conversation can be understanding what keeps coming back: valuation, the raise, the team, the proposition, or something else entirely.

And from the investor side, there’s something equally interesting to watch: what the founder does with that feedback next.

Perseverance matters. So does the ability to listen, process and adapt.

Most founders don't need more information.

They need the right guidance at the right stage.

AAlchemy Growth Lab was designed for early-stage founders who want structured mentoring, practical support, and a clear path towards customers, funding, and scaling in Europe.

Angel investing looks very different when you stop looking at individual deals and start looking at the numbers behind the asset class.

The research shows why access to consistent, quality deal flow matters. Investors need opportunities to be selective, build over time and participate in the deals that fit their own portfolio.

That thinking is also behind the AAlchemy Investor’s Club: curated early-stage deal flow, structured screening and the opportunity to co-invest alongside other angel investors.

One conversation can lead to a new partnership.
One event can lead to your next opportunity.
One introduction can change everything.

That's why we created the Startup Community.

A place where founders, investors, mentors, and innovators can stay connected, share ideas, discover opportunities, and support one another.

If that sounds like the kind of community you'd like to be part of, we'd love to welcome you.

The first pitch rarely gets the investment.
It gets the next conversation.

When investors are seeing multiple companies, being technically strong isn’t enough. They need to understand what you’re building, remember it, and have a reason to continue the conversation.

That’s where storytelling has a very practical role in fundraising. Not as decoration around the numbers, but as part of how the opportunity is understood and remembered.

Andrey Kostyuk explains why the real objective of an early pitch is often much simpler than founders think: earn the next meeting.

Would you still make the same investment decision if you knew every relevant fact?

It’s a simple test, but a useful one.

Investment conversations involve persuasion on both sides.

Founders are making the case for their company. Investors are negotiating their position. The line is crossed when transparency gives way to pressure, hidden intent or engineered consent.
In this clip, Andrey Kostyuk breaks down the distinction between ethical persuasion and manipulation, and offers a simple way to tell the difference.
