VC UNLOCKED: DAY 1 (recap)

Topic: VC’s investment thesis

Здесь мне будет сложнее вам собрать то, что было бы полезно с точки зрения стартапа, так как курс все таки для VC и о том как питчить фонд потенциальным инвесторам фонда, но вот небольшая выжимка о том, как “должен” мыслить инвестор в отношении стартапов - соответсвенно, как вам стоит подстраивать себя под эти фреймворк, если вы сейчас стартап.

Golden naggets:
“Always keep in mind exit strategy”
“In the M&A process the difficult part is the merge. It is hard to merge people, so always think and estimate team’s ability to merge physically and psyhologically”
“Core value of being an effective investor is the unique access to the network - as a best selling point to the LPs”
“Always do the reference check”

Ways of sourcing projects:
• Online Content OR Inbound by Linkedin / Email
• Events & Conferences (as speaker / as atendee)
• Partner w/ other accelerators and funds (endeavor mentorship / Scale Up programs)
• Recruit great mentors
• Warm referrals (reference from other VCs, accelerators, Investors and founders)

Internal VC team process:
Possible Ways to Make Decisions

Each deal must have a “champion” partner who is willing to make it 1 of just X
total investments she will make for the entire fund
- OR -
All other partners but one must vote to approve (Unanimous minus one)
- OR -
Each other partner has a single “veto” she can use once during the entire
fund to block another partner’s deal
