Podcasts are usually escapism for me, which is why I don’t hearken to very many about tech or enterprise capital. Besides The Studying Nook from Precursor, as a result of I like Charles Hudson.
A number of months again they have been discussing Solo GPs and a few methods their processes differ from bigger partnerships. Prompted by a weblog publish from Ubiquity Ventures, Charles notes “the entire ‘I couldn’t get it via my companions,’ I’ve at all times discovered that to be a extremely unsatisfying factor to inform a founder,” for causes of mental honesty, competency and/or company.
CHARLES WE ARE SINGING FROM THE SAME HYMNAL MY FRIEND. Right here’s the publish I wrote some time again about the identical matter.
So, in case you’re elevating from a multipartner VC agency, as most are, it’s best to at all times:
I. Perceive the choice making course of on the agency
II. Use your lead associate that will help you perceive the agency’s basic sentiment in direction of offers like yours (partnerships have lengthy histories and they’ll/gained’t like offers as a result of it reminds them of successes/failures previously)
III. Assist your lead associate with their companions. You need as many advocates within the associate assembly as potential. Work with, however not round, your lead associate to ID backchannel references you will be offering, and so forth
And at all times enroll any present buyers that will help you navigate this – Homebrew may also help 🙂
