Though bad investors sometimes cut back dramatically in bad markets, good investors keep investing. They know how terribly dangerous it would be to stop. What if they miss the Google? So don't be deterred from starting a startup because you worry it will be hard to get funding.

@fdestin If you’re all in on the seed round, is this more a ‘fire and forget’ strategy? (You just need info for reporting purposes vs follow on invest decisions). One downside with this is no dry powder to assist good companies in bad fundraising markets (bridge/extension…)

4/ there’s adverse selection in this process since the hot rounds are contested and your pro-ratas are less likely to materialise for the best companies. The hardcore #1 strategy is also very harsh on those not in the “winners group” as the negative signalling is pretty awful.

1/ Here’s a serious question about reserves and venture funds. Accepted orthodoxy is 50/50 initial to reserves ratio, or a slightly more aggressive version of that, say 60/40. Multi-stage funds think about building ownership over time. Some seed funds do this too.

Incredibly excited to have backed this company, just out of stealth. Epoch is using recent tech advances to build new bioprocesses that break down waste plastic quickly, cheaply and at scale into useful chemicals It’s a big ambition but so needed by our 🌎

Spoke to the UK founder of one of my portfolio companies yesterday and he’s now being inbounded for roles by great tech talent on LinkedIn. Quite a difference from the the last few years #changingtimes

@CallumMckeefery Remember that sizeable, profitable companies were being built long before the advent of ‘adventure capital’ (as it was originally called) as an asset class

I still have a chip on my shoulder about being looked down on by VC backed founders. I can’t shake it. Any recommendations?

This is a great 🧵on uni equity ownership (UK) for their spinouts. Later stage VCs are focussed on founder % stake/incentive….if its too small, founders can be ‘re-upped’ w options that will additionally dilute Uni’s and those early-stage investors
Nathan Benaich@nathanbenaich

I'm really happy to see more reports on spinout formation. We need more transparency. 🔍 @Beauhurst tracked the equity stakes of UK universities in ~600 spinouts. In most cases, their stakes are absurdly high. 🧵 from @osebbouh and I here: Report link: raeng.org.uk/publications/r…
