Both Sides of the Table

It’s true the some VCs have started writing so many checks that they resemble stock pickers but the majority of us still have less than 10 board seats at any time and tend to go pretty deep so the result is that we care deeply about where we commit our time. Meredith came to see me along with the CTO Marc Berte.

The truth is you really don’t know how your teammates or your bosses will perform in good times and bad. You hire people who look good on paper. So one of the surest signs you’ve hired a leader is the willingness of his or her former team to re-assemble. After 6 months – you know. You REALLY know.

Understanding where your VC partner sits in their respective fund and where their fund is in the cycle of its investment lifecycle will help you understand your VCs behavior. Trust me – that kind of encounter can mean the difference between securing a contract, protecting yourself from getting turfed or getting acquired one day.

We wanted to be able to invest in our software and our learning tools. We've been toying with taking an investment for the last three or four years, and were able to meet with the guys at Kennet, and Javier Rojas. If you're teaching classes of 32 maybe even 37 students, it's difficult to know where students are.

We spoke to Robin about the new startup, his executive team, as well as his angel investing activity here. They just can't reach into the class of freshmen, sophomores, or juniors to help companies get better candidates. It looks like you bought an existing property as part of startup up the site?

At CallWave, Colin was CTO, Jason was CFO and I was in charge of product marketing and customer acquisition. We wanted investment partners that understood performance marketing and what it was like to be an entrepreneur from having done it before themselves. We’re always hiring great people. We met with a ton of VC’s and angels.

We've got a nice API with ties to the enterprise class applications. We were over 2x up on this round, and we also had a bunch of individual investors who wanted to put in--people who had invested in our competition a few years ago. It's a great time for that, because there's lots of talent out there.
