There’s much to say about solo GP funds as a strategy. The beauty of this approach lies in its simplicity and flexibility. With a solo GP fund, raising enormous amounts of capital is unnecessary. Instead of deploying $30 million, you can make a significant impact with just $5 million, fundamentally changing the deployment strategy. Our special sauce at Co Ventures is blending collaboration and insight. We leverage the law of small numbers by optimizing for the internal rate of return (IRR). This strategy allows us to collaborate on deals, join forces with big funds, and access opportunities that would be out of reach if we focused solely on leading rounds. For a deeper dive into our solo GP advantage and the fund's focus on pre-seed investments, check out my “studio on the road” conversation with Innovation Bay's Ian Gardiner ( ? Timestamp 48:00). In this episode, you’ll also hear insights from Karl Durrance, Kate Mason, PhD, John McDuling, and Kevin Jochelson. #venturecapital #investing #tech #startups #fundraising #angelinvesting

You need to build a great business, not great slides... (I've seen some mediocre companies with awesome slides!) A pitch deck is a tool; it's a way to tell your story and share your vision for the business. It's a tool to have a conversation. Have a look at the Knife Cap template, it's not a bad place to start.

A pitch deck is typically the first material investors review when evaluating your business for a potential investment. It’s crucial for entrepreneurs to take advantage of these insights and resources, which can help you prepare for your next introductory meeting with investors! ?????
