I became a VC 12 years ago in 2007 when the pace of deals was much slower. Invoca is now doing 10s of millions in recurring revenue and is growing > 75% year-over-year but it took the first 3 years to really build out the technology and acquire our initial enterprise clients. Over the past 2.5 Why does that matter?
