Getting into Y Combinator and building a unicorn (not to mention two) is not easy. Tom Blomfield knows more about it than possibly anybody. In his recent appearance on the 20VC podcast, Tom shared his thoughts on how great founders show signs of exceptionalism early on. This perspective strongly resonates with our vision at ETA Technologies. If these signs can be identified and presented in a sophisticated as well as quantified format, it can significantly aid in discovering the next unicorn founders. After all, investors always invest in people. #startups #venturecapital #fundraising https://lnkd.in/gaF-7zed

Managing Partner at Sprint Ventures | GAICD | Chartered Accountant | Experienced in Startups, Investing, Responsible Investing, Funds and Portfolio Management
Loved this podcast with Manikandan P talking all things #venturecapital 🤓 Mani had some awesome questions and particularly raising capital for the fund, which often gets overlooked in favour of talking about making investments. The support from our investors allows us to make those investments and is the first step in running a fund 👌 Sprint Ventures #investing #fundraising

“The truth is, when you're given too much money, you’d want to accelerate, which is fair, but then, you become sloppy because it's human psychology that when you receive a lot of money, you spend it. We can see this in lottery winners where they often spend the money unproductively and they end up in a situation where it's better off than where they were in the first place, but it's not uncommon for them to squander a large chunk of it. That's also what happens to a lot of management teams. It's not because they are sloppy or lazy, but because the VC boards are egging them on because they’d rather have a 50% higher chance of you becoming a billion-dollar company and take on the other half of the 50% chance that you go to zero. So they want to push you to high risk, high reward. If you are smart and creative with the funds that you have, you’ll figure out a way to squeeze out efficiency. The growth may not be as high and you may not be able to achieve that billion-dollar outcome within 10 years as much, but you're able to reduce the floor risk of the company.” - Jeremy Au 区汉辉, Host of BRAVE Southeast Asia Tech Podcast Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://lnkd.in/gqE3Jrce Nonton, dengar atau baca wawasan lengkapnya di https://lnkd.in/gNKeyT5d 观看、收听或阅读全文,请访问 https://lnkd.in/g9Nvk2gh #Bootstrap #Startups #Fundraising #2x2Matrix #VentureCapitalist #VC #BRAVEpodcast

I'm an AI operator turned venture investor bringing a founder mentality to the business of venture capital. Building and investing in public. Focus on UK early stage digital tech. More at unbundled.vc
#YesterdayI Shared my top tip for fundraising was to put yourself inside the mind of your investors and make it as easy for them as you can. Had my breakfast event on how to fundraise with Matthew Codd of Cosmic Partners. I will post about it later. Had a post event coffee with Rayan Bannai of Squared. Sadly no selfie. Spoke with Jonathan Blausten of Sprout about the venture capital industry. Had coffee with Joanna S. of Google DeepMind. Had an online course. Got a sneaky McDonalds. Passed out. #founders #startups #venturecapital #buildinginpublic #investinginpublic Pitch and newsletter links at unbundled dot vc.
