We’re often asked how to break into VC. So much so that we created a syllabus as an essential manual for anyone looking to learn the ins and outs of the venture ecosystem, and where you might fit into it. ?????? ????????-???????? ????????????? ???????? & ???????? ?????????????????? ?????? ???????????? ????????????. 1. KPIs are more than just metrics—they’re the compass guiding a company’s progress toward its goals. But how do you define the right KPIs, and how do you measure them effectively? KPIs differ across industries and models—think financial, sales, or project metrics. Tracking these metrics rigorously: ? Shows what’s working ? Flags growth opportunities ? Keeps your team aligned on success Success starts with what you measure! 2. Market Sizing isn’t just about big numbers—it’s a strategic tool. ?? Why it matters: Defines total revenue opportunity (TAM) Helps assess PMF and short-term profitability (SOM) Guides you and investors on potential returns It's how startups frame their big-picture vision! ??

?? ???????? ???????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ???????????????? ??????????????? We took a deep dive into successful Enterprise Vertical SaaS players like nCino and Veeva. Here’s what we found: 4 key strategies to scale and thrive. ?? Validate the Problem: It’s all about understanding real customer pain points. Guidewire Software’s founder sat with insurance teams to observe their workflows, turning insights into actionable solutions. Building trust starts with listening. ?? Partnerships & Integrations: Success in SaaS requires speed in adoption. By partnering with Accenture, nCino expanded its reach without scaling a large salesforce, accelerating onboarding for enterprise clients. Strategic integrations = faster growth! ?? Catalyst Events & Expanding TAM: Early credibility often comes from marquee clients, like Mark43's partnership with DC Metro Police. Later, expanding TAM through lighter offerings helps reach more clients, just like Blend did with smaller customers. For more information, you can read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gAGJKbrs Scaling in Vertical SaaS takes strategy, resilience, and the right partners.?Harlem Capital is excited to support visionary founders driving these industries forward. If you’re ready to take your startup to the next level, we’d love to hear from you!

?? Major congrats to Richie Serna & the Finix team on the momentous Series C. Love to see diverse, tenacious, brilliant founders win??
Today Finix is excited to announce we’ve raised $75M in Series C funding led by Acrew Capital and co-led by Leap Global Partners and Lightspeed. When we started Finix, we were big believers in the developer movement. We still are! Since then, we’ve recognized that there’s been a major shift in the market. Even businesses that have developers don’t want to spend their time or resources on payments — they want highly brandable and configurable payment components. From startups to publicly traded companies, merchants to vertical SaaS companies, customers of all sizes are taking advantage of Finix’s no-code solutions. Today, every feature in Finix's broad product suite is now available in no-code, low-code, and API-driven solutions. If Adyen is for the enterprise, Square is for card present SMBs, Stripe is for the developer-centric startup, Finix is for the 22M businesses without enough developers.

?? ?????????? ???????? ?????????????? ???? ?????? ?????????????? Harlem Capital hosted a brunch for LA's most innovative women founders & funders last week alongside Gunderson Dettmer. This intimate gathering was a chance to create a table where everyone could share their personal and professional triumphs and tribulations. These women are building next-gen scam protection software, a way to get rewarded while paying for childcare, and the ultimate AI-first universal content inspector, among others. We had a single conversation the whole meal, discussing topics including: · How important is it to cultivate a personal board of advisors? How did you build yours? · For founders — what is something about the journey that VCs don’t understand? Tell us about a difficulty or what you wish VCs would know. For VCs — what do you feel founders should know? · What are some practices you implemented to maintain work-life harmony? How do you achieve balance, especially when navigating motherhood and work? Thanks to Melody Hahm & Jennifer Sayles Okorn for hosting! To all the tenacious women building out there, reach out so we can include you at our next event. ??: Ashlee Driver ??: Alta / Adams Wine Shop ??: Lara Adekoya of Fleurs et Sel #venturecapital #VC #losangeles #founder #latechweek
