The market is changing rapidly in Venture Capital. Can you stay resilient and succeed?
Referrals and endorsements are the least risky, lowest cost, & most under utilized strategies. Most people simply don't ask for the referral or endorsements, especially from people who tell them "no". For every no, ask for: 1. Your Targeted referral: "Even though this is not for you, would you feel comfortable introducing me to XYZ in your network?" (we research exactly who we want in advance ) 2. Their suggested referral "Even though this is not for you, we know you have a strong Network relevant to our priorities. Who in your network would benefit from hearing about what our team is doing?" 3. Signed Endorsement "Would you feel comfortable writing or signing a letter that endorses our team or product?" (we'll even draft it)

What are the most effective ways to mitigate risk for a new management team in a venture capital firm?
New Teams must Prove Themselves to "Stay at the Table". Keys to "staying at the table" the 1st time around before having "proven yourself": 1. Keep operating costs low. Bloat is bad. 2. Keep a small, high quality, high integrity team. This matters more than almost everything else. With good people, good times are better and more frequent, while bad times are fewer and easier to navigate. 3. Be patient and have a long-term outlook on life and business. Day-to-day, practice finding joy in the learning, failing, and playing of the game. 4. Deliberately recognize and celebrate small individual and team successes along the way. Doing so builds momentum, a culture of winning, and seeds a fertile environment for big wins to be birthed.
