Welcome to a very special episode of The Data Minute. For the first time, Peter Walker (Head of Insights at Carta) is joined by an actual Founder and CEO, Anubhav Srivastava whose company Tactyc.io is now a part of the Carta family! Join them for an in-depth conversation that goes in two directions. First, for VCs, they discuss reserve ratios, recycling capital, forecasting, and the effect LP influence could have on your fund metrics.

Second, Anubhav shares his experience on what it’s like to be acquired. If you're a founder wondering if it’s time to join something bigger, you won’t want to miss the advice and insight Anubhav brings to the entire process.
