?? The (other) top 10 things I heard at the youngStartup Ventures NY Venture Summit yesterday... Continued from this morning's post... This was my first in the Venture Summit series. The panel discussions were *awesome* —?so much insight and perspective shared from a huge variety of VCs. Here are the top things I heard from those panels. (These are in no particular order, and roughly paraphrased as I was taking notes on my ??.) ?? On getting VCs to sit forward and notice you. 11. "There are two types of CVC investors: those who care about strategic investment and the advantages you bring to the parent co. and those who want to gather intel on potential competitors." — Susan Akbarpour , Candou Ventures 12. "In contrast to many VCs who don't really care about advisors, I believe that advisors are indicators of who believes in your vision enough to support you. And you'd better believe I'll reach out to them." — Kelauni Jasmyn, Black Tech Nation VC 13. "I'm interested in 2 things from early founders: Tell me a story about how you're going to change the future in non-obvious ways. And be transparent...to a fault. I'd rather learn about your skeletons in the first or second meeting than right before I wire money." — Karim Gillani, Luge Capital 14. "Finding an investor is a lot like dating. Never change who you are or what you believe in to fit what you think the investor wants." — Kelauni Jasmyn, Black Tech Nation VC 15. "Do everything you can to find a warm intro to an investor. Remember, we invest in roughly 1% of the opportunities that cross our desks. We're looking for a reason to say no." — Doug Zingale, Blue Goose Capital ?? On Strategic/Corporate Venture Capital 16. "We're looking to invest in partners that can help us go further, faster. We know that we can't build all of the necessary new technology ourselves." — Philippe Daoust, NAVentures 17. "Our corporate leadership is focused on quarter over quarter growth. Our investments allow us to look to the future." — Rachel Weiss, L'Oreal Ventures 18. "Working with a big brand can be complex and frustrating. One of the advantages we bring to portfolio companies is the ability to unlock doors throughout the organization." — Ben Daniels, IBM Ventures 19. "Don't underestimate the value and credibility that a huge corporation will bring when they show up on your cap table." — Anuj Bhardwaj, Experian Ventures 20. "10-12 years ago, the CVC space looked very different. It wasn't as sophisticated. Strategy outweighed everything else." — Lutz Stoeber, Evonik Venture Capital

Investing in startup founders that retain control over their companies is a central theme throughout my investment thesis Next Wave Partners. I work with founding teams that I know have what it takes to go the distance in the venture lifecycle and ensuring they control their destiny is paramount. In my latest article, I propose a theory about why genuinely supporting founders in this way has become rare in the venture capital industry. #venturecapital #venturecapitalist #startupfunding #startupsuccess #startupstories https://lnkd.in/ehxny_xe

Why are successful startup founders often ousted from their own companies? John Cowan examines this paradox, revealing the intricate and often conflicting interests between founders and venture capitalists.

?????????????? ?????????????? ?????????????? ?????????????? In the latest edition of our True Venture funding report, we look at what it really takes for True Venture Entrepreneurs to access equity funding going into 2024. Venture Capital (VC) provides lifeblood capital that helps potentially great businesses scale. When deployed at a meaningful quantum, it is typically administered through a fund. These funds have a mandate to invest in the traditionally perceived illiquid, risky, space of equity positions in unquoted (often loss-making) businesses. This fuels innovation, jobs and technology to society. When successful, fund managers, investors, founders and their teams can make very healthy returns that can transform lives. Equity funding into these types of businesses is a critical part of moving an economy forward. Download your copy of our eBook here: https://lnkd.in/e-B2WCZr #venturecapital?#venturefunding?
