The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch

NOTE

Gurley: "Even great companies can be overvalued."

Even the most successful companies can become overvalued in the market. A strong focus on fundamentals is essential, drawing from a background in public market investing. This analytical mindset helps evaluate a company's true worth, factoring in metrics like free cash flow. While discussions often revolve around metrics such as Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and revenue figures, it's crucial to consider the full investment lifecycle. Successful investing encompasses not only sourcing, picking, and nurturing companies but also achieving a profitable exit. This final stage is often overlooked in venture capital, yet it directly impacts the ability to return funds to investors. Recognizing that even exceptional companies can be overpriced is vital for making sound investment decisions and ultimately succeeding in the venture capital landscape.
