Scalable Startup
AUGUST 9, 2018

Its easy to take Silicon Valley for granted. Ive written a little bit about the origins of Silicon Valley because I think its important for us to understand how we got here in order to make sure we preserve what is best about our community. Provide early seed capital, and be the ones to make those introductions.

So I mostly kept my opinion within a small closed group and let my LPs know that K9’s strategy was to *not* change our strategy despite the pressures of the market. There are a now a handful of funds, that claim to be Pre-Seed funds (K9 included). Adding partners and staff, starts to give a false sense of scale.

I saw some specific gaps in the market which I looked to address: NYC: I have been fortunate to be a part of the surge of entrepreneurial activity in NYC over the past several years. While the seed capital gap has closed, there are still only a handful of venture capital firms here in NYC investing in the crucial Series A/B rounds.
