At Dawn we have seen firsthand the value strategic investors can bring to a startup’s journey, highlighted through our partnerships with the likes of @Tink and iZettle (@ZettlebyPayPal). Recently I shared some of my thoughts on these relationships below 👇
With @tink's agreement to be acquired by @Visa and 3 years on from iZettle’s sale to @PayPal, we’ve identified a common thread - neither transaction happened out of the blue. @joshbell explores the benefits strategics can bring to a start-up’s journey 👇 https://t.co/DAz43ATDTq
