Date: September 12th, 2020 5:28 PM Author: lascivious address international law enforcement agency Why do you want to break into VC?
There's a big difference between Sequoia, KPCB, Benchmark, etc, and the smaller funds. It's very top-heavy.
But there are two main ways:
1) Network like crazy to be an associate and then leave after two years 2) Have an exit and be invited to join as a Partner.
2 is infinitely better than 1. |

|
Date: September 12th, 2020 5:30 PM Author: Amber associate halford don’t you have an adverse selection problem as a smaller firm? funding from the top funds seems to pay for itself in the form of higher valuations. listing them in your cap table has lots of tangible (bigger network, operational talent, etc) and intangible benefits.
so the opportunities that cross your desk are basically almost always inferior, no? they’re ones the top names probably already passed on
also do you do series a or later stage investments? the latter seems increasingly like a suckers game |
|
Date: September 12th, 2020 5:32 PM Author: lascivious address international law enforcement agency Yes the names that cross our desk are inferior from an inbound standpoint. However, there's outbound reach-outs and you can get traction (co-invest with Sequoia's, be seed lead investors, etc) based on personality and partner's background.
We do series A and seed, but really series A as product market fit is really important to us. Series B + is more growth equity and that's a different ballgame.

how would a financial sponsors investment banker make money from you? ie how do they add value, assuming any do? i bet you hate sell side bankers (99% of vc guys do) |
|
Date: September 13th, 2020 12:35 PM Author: fuchsia effete goyim hairy legs i did ibanking years ago
we don't make money from vcs. all our pitch decks have PE firm names on them and if u want to know my team's breakdown of revenue it was 85% from corporates and 15% from pe and misc like getting some kickback leveraging our cap markets for bundled financing M&A/lbo deals
pe firms get GIANT DISCOUNTS in fees but we deal with this shit because even a large corp may only do 1 deal every few years, but PE firms have such high volume we're constantly sucking their dick cause it's a familiar dick. similar to whores preferring 1 sugar daddy paying them less but is a regular customer for 10 years vs pitching 10 sugar daddies who only have 1-2 fuck sessions to give. |

there's nothing to do at the vc stage if ur not a partner. there's no financials. there's no analysis. all u do is cold call and try to get a top startup to take ur shitty deal and preference stack before they ultimately email sequoia which is why it's a winner take all since 95% of startups fail and the good ones know exactly who to email first and it's not going to be nyreal & batgod's VC firm |

it's VERY HARD to make partner in a vc firm, it's harder in small shitty ones because if someone is in the position to boost u up to replace them, they would have to quit or die. there's no structure and very little meat to go around all the hungry mouths. and ur entirely 100% replaceable since ur a cold calling machine.
it's actually easier at sequoia to get partner vs. a generic vc or shit vc because if u get lucky and the stars align u may have enough experience in a niche field in a large org to sneak past the door and then get inside. |

They are champs at the seed round and thus could have better returns than VCs on a percentage basis since most VCs come in at later seed or Series A. They have an institutional advantage over professional VCs in that they can spray and are faster moving, less bureaucratic.

|
Date: September 15th, 2020 12:21 AM Author: lascivious address international law enforcement agency Founder/ team, we do psych evaluations for what it’s worth. We are pretty hard bent on product market fit as well so that’s a proxy after the fact that the team is legit.
The company due diligence is based off of understanding the competitive landscape which we do by reading analyst reports on the market place, googling and connecting the dots. We also look for key unique selling points that the company states they have, which from what I’ve seen isn’t really challenged. We also do customer reference checks which are laughable.
So bottom line: the due diligence is really looking for information to back the fact that the company has product market fit and why we’ll invest so we can justify our decisions to the LPs. In my firm at least it’s not very forward looking. The lack of forward thought/ independent insight is remarkable. Ultimately, we’re a bunch of guys making bets hoping to get lucky, and the due diligence is more to justify capital calls than anything else. Not very different from what IB analysts do.
I do believe there are VC firms out there with more insight than us, but not too many. The point about whether we’ll exclusively get shitty deals as a no name brand VC I don’t completely agree with - you can establish ties with hot startups by connecting with them even if you’re a shitty firm if you have something in common with them.

Date: September 14th, 2020 8:59 PM Author: grizzly double fault locale Why are you so excited to take Qs? For someone in VC, you seem to know very little about it. No opinion on rolling funds? LOL, bud it's one of the biggest (if not the biggest) innovations in your space this year. I feel like I know more than you about VC based on spending a couple years at a startup.
The only insight you've had is that the economics of VC firms are very much captured by the top partner(s), despite VC firms increasingly calling everyone a "partner." If you're smart and technical, you should start a company. No in-demand founder is going to want some 31 yr old with his own "VC firm" investing if he has any real options, so you'd only get the shitty opportunities. There are rare exceptions (e.g., Fred Wilson), but most of the people who do really well in VC have been a successful founder or at least at a really high level exec of a company that had a big exit. |

Date: September 14th, 2020 9:19 PM Author: fuchsia effete goyim hairy legs nah i believe OP but it's true there are so many SHITTY vc firms out there. it's a giant distribution, unlike PE where 50% of firms are legit, everyone and their mother is getting into vc or angel investing
and i don't mean just celebs like shaq o neil or jessica alba or ashton kutcher who are actually good and at least have a big wallet. i'm talking ex-oracle ex-microsoft balding 40 year old losers with barely $4mm bucks to scrape together hiring an army of cheap kids |

Date: September 14th, 2020 9:28 PM Author: grizzly double fault locale Meh. Most of the celebrities as VC investors is just them cashing in on their name and ability to publicize products in exchange for equity. It makes a ton of sense in consumer products where the products (e.g., alcohol) is totally indistinguishable when you put aside branding.
Even if you're at a shit VC firm, you'd think youd have an actual thought on rolling funds. |

Date: September 15th, 2020 5:06 PM Author: sickened wonderful whorehouse Do you value ex FAANG engineers as founders? you see this repeated in reddit and places where they hang out, like "ofc they'll want to fund a 35 year old staff engineer who has never shown any entrepreneurial inclination in his entire life!"
meanwhile actual successful vc-backed entrepreneurs are 20 y/o dropout child prodigies or older tech "vagabonds" with a string of successful exits |
|
Date: September 16th, 2020 5:57 AM Author: lascivious address international law enforcement agency What’s most important is the skill/ idea/ grind you bring in. If you launched products end to end and have been working on something on the side with product market fit you’re in.
In other words, the 20 year old has been:
1) working on the entire business end to end 2) shows commitment to an idea and most likely has product market fit 3) can grind
Similarly for the veteran who’s had end to end experience, and has validation thru exits. He’ll be a better fit for B2B since he can hire grinders for him.
Ironically the mid level engineers are too narrow in their scope to both the college drop out and the veteran. In FAANG, you’re hired for a singular task and do it for 10-25 years before your scope starts broadening out again. At FAANG, you don’t do business, you do a task.
If there’s one key above all to VC investing it’s this: “product-market fit”
Hope that answers your question. |

Date: July 27th, 2021 8:25 PM Author: sickened wonderful whorehouse new question: when people say they had one offer by some big name at one valuation and another by some lesser firm at a higher valuation and they had to pick one (valuation or name), why can't they just price discriminate, make them share the deal and pay different prices is that just bad etiquette or some shit |

But with very few exceptions there's price matching... It starts a race to the bottom. Price / VC firm matching upfront. As in if you're a Sequoia type startup you go to Seq and it's cohort. You're typically not going down the food chain.
