The Resetting of the Startup Industry

Both Sides of the Table

FEBRUARY 8, 2016

We entrepreneurs have been spinning that line for decades in every boom cycle. Great companies will continue to be built and many will tell you that building a great company in capital constrained markets in some senses builds a more sustainable company.

Agile VC

DECEMBER 6, 2012

A little more inside baseball from the VC biz… why VC’s rarely make “crossover” investments, with capital from multiple funds the VC firm manages invested in a single startup (see note 1). I was talking with an entrepreneur recently about this phenomenon. VC’s reserve strategy, time horizon, etc). ==.

Give store owners, property owners and individual entrepreneurs a chance to run a micro-business in an updating of the classic vending model.

We’re a small fund with $30M of committed capital, so we focus on Seed and Series A opportunities. We also tend to focus on repeat entrepreneurs but are not opposed to funding first time founders who have significant domain expertise. I get it, but that’s not a logical investment thesis for us to deploy capital against.
