I invest in early stage software companies and adore Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Itβs pronounced on-dray-uh.

Even as early as the seed stage, an organized data room can make you stand out from the crowd.

Sharing a list below of items that I received this week from a founder who is ~2 months away from raising. Left me so impressed and eager to move fast on the deal

Nearly 3 yrs later, @SamCorcos is still the most memorable fundraising process that I've encountered as an investor.
I'm not sure what part of this episode I like best, learning that @SamCorcos carries the US Constitution or his take on The Keeper Test.

Investing in @Levels was out of thesis for me, but Sam was aπ― founder profile. It wasn't that he checked certain boxes, more that he thought wildly differently than anyone else. And that, above all else, is what I invest in.
Thank you @HarryStebbings for another π₯ episode

If youβre giving βgentleβ reminders to your investors, youβre doing it wrong.
In this market, itβs all hands on deck. Your investor asks should be specific, organized and tracked. I want to see a leaderboard of who is making intros and who has done zip.

Series A rounds are slower right now. Here is what I am telling my SaaS and b2b fintech portfolio companies to prepare in their data room as they plan to raise
Is this overkill? Maybe. I would rather they be over prepared than the alternative

This list is not meant to be dogma. Just what I am personally sharing with the companies that I work with.
Take everything with a grain of salt, because every fund and investor will have their own process

The goalposts for raising a Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A round have changed since the Spring. Here are benchmarks that I would aim for as a founder of a SaaS or b2b fintech company in this current market

The above is meant to be general guidelines. No one is giving strict numbers in absolute $$, and momentum (growth rate) is far more important
General thinking is that if a b2b company isn't able to achieve 3xing YoY at this stage, it's unlikely that it will get better with time

Do not compare yourself to other companies who raised or announced in the last 5 months
"But ____X____ company raised at $ valuation with less traction!" is not going to be productive....
...It's a different game on the field

Starting off Monday with some fight in me. Keep wanting to blurt out in meetings βIβm the girl that does her job. You must be the other guy.β
