There have been an awful lot of "it's hard out here for a VC" posts recently. And yes, it IS hard to for emerging fund managers to raise right now.
But great fund managers are still getting funded. So what makes them stand out?
Let’s talk about it. 👇 @Monsson_

Most people under-index on enthusiasm for what they're working on. If you aren't excited about it, who is? 🤔

For new venture managers, reminder that you are building a company, not just investing.
Shareholders = LP's
Capital/Value Add proposition = Product (should be tangible)
Customers = Portfolio companies/co-investors

Love this takeaway from a meeting with an e-commerce founder today:
Vision and brand are not this fluffy intangible thing, they drive:
What do you do?
Why you do it?
How you do it?
Brand and vision are at the centre of everything.

One part I enjoyed about @stitchfix success is how many valley stereotypes Katrina broke - ex-consultant, MBA, non technical, no startup experience, solo founder etc etc. Gives belief to groups who’re traditionally underestimated as having the ability to build large companies.

If one could see all the headaches that come with starting something new, no one would start something new.
