Both Sides of the Table

MARCH 25, 2016

After a year in the market, MakeSpace was growing rapidly and our biggest issue was CAC (customer acquisition costs) relative to payback period (when we get our marketing investment back) and relative to LTV (lifetime value).

Why do these founders get to stay around? Because the balance of power has dramatically shifted from investors to founders. VCs competing for unicorn investments have given founders control of the board. A pre-IPO board usually had two founders, two VCs and one “independent” member. Technology Cycles Measured in Years.

Seeing Both Sides

AUGUST 16, 2012

Chatting with CEO and cofounder Kaufer this week, I was reminded of the fact that the company started with a very different business model in mind. TripAdvisor, in effect, was a model lean start-up with an engineering-driven, product-focused founder. Content is free and supplied by consumers who write reviews voluntarily.

As the former co-founder and CEO of two technology companies, Caroline has experienced both start-up failures and successes, and has raised close to $1 million in investment capital. That moves into the customer acquisition strategy. I wanted to make sure we got it out there, the idea of how does one find a good co-founder?

Co-founder and CEO Nicolas Brusson spoke to me about BlaBlaCar’s early ambitions to be a European rather than local country winner and its progression to global player. You then came back to Europe and joined a venture firm before co-founding BlaBlaCar. How did you go from VC to founder? We were very proactive though.
