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

NOTE

Elements for success in VC market

In order to succeed in the VC market after a long bull run, it is crucial to have a clear comparative advantage and to isolate it for the firm. Without a sharp and differentiated answer to the question 'why me and why us', an investor would risk being perceived as a commodity, which is not acceptable. The overall returns in venture are not strong, and without a strong comparative advantage, an investor is likely to regress to the middle of the bell curve where returns are unacceptable. It is essential to assess one's unique advantage seriously. Additionally, when considering investments where they may not be the best fit, a good practice is to partner with someone else at the firm who may have a better fit and to establish a strong partnership with the founder for success.
