How does InstaVal innovate? Akram El Youssi: InstaVal’s innovation is built on leveraging technology at the service of the promotion of equity investments in startups and scaleups, and so the platform offers founders three core values : Discover Business Valuation Get a defensible business valuation at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods by leveraging investment & financial domain knowledge with data-driven technology.

Akram El Youssi: Being a SaaS Platform, we were less affected than other brick and mortar models. We’ve actually anticipated working-from-home for a few years already, as we’ve invested in processes and tools. And so, we didn’t suffer from change that much. But we are aware that some businesses were not as fortunate as we were. More than ever in the context of Covid19, startups need capital to be successful or survive. Did you have to make difficult choices regarding human resources, and what are the lessons learned? Akram El Youssi: Fortunately, we didn’t have to make any difficult choices. On the contrary, in the last few months, the platform has had a lot of traction with the addition of staff bringing the full-time team up to 9. Furthermore, we have launched an internship program that has welcomed a dozen young finance and marketing talents. How did your customer relationship management evolve? Do you use any specific tools to be efficient? Akram El Youssi: We moved to an online customer relationship management process using a combination of google meet, calendly, WhatsApp, and our CRM to ensure that we could provide a personal experience to our clients without being face to face. Did you benefit from any government grants, and did that help keep your business afloat? Akram El Youssi: No, I did not benefit from any government grants. Your final thoughts? Akram El Youssi: Humanity has reached an age of abundance of technology, entrepreneurship, and capital. Our ambition is to actively contribute to the paradigm change of the early-stage financial intermediation for future generations. Your website?
