In the fall of 2013, we raised a similar type of fund called Foundry Group Select. It was a $225 million fund, just like our other three $225 million funds raised in 2007, 2010, and 2013. We are equally happy to syndicate with one or two other VC firms. The conclusion was easy – we don’t charge a management fee.

Until 2013, we made between 8 and 14 a year, which is close enough to 10 (although the year we did 14 was a year where we all said “too much – slow down.”) Another example of a re-evaluation of a deeply held belief was our decision to create our Foundry Group Select Fund.

According to Nielsen, YouTube reaches more US adults ages 18-34 than any cable network as of mid-2013. As of March 2013, one billion, (B!), One more thing to ponder… One hundred hours of video is uploaded into YouTube every single minute, as of May 2013. Again, for your management team you don't have to over think it.

Many private equity funds we interviewed for the Journal of Private Equity study view a CEO over age 60, or a family-run company that hires an outside manager, as a tell that the firm may welcome an outside investor.

If the investors ideal size is smaller than your need, you ought to ask about syndication. If they don’t like to syndicate, or don’t have a track record of doing it, you will want to consider your options. Underlying this question is really “How will you manage the risk in this opportunity?”. April 2013. January 2013.

I am no longer an insider, so dont have any view into current financials, but do know that total financing is now 10X the original plan and at the current accelerating growth rate, revenues will still not hit that $185M until 2012 or 2013, so double the time. offering to invest $75K if we could find another $250K by September 30, 2005.

It was a great product addressing a large market opportunity and was interested in seeing how the AngelList syndicate process worked. Due to confidentiality provisions, I can''t disclose details, but there are many very unhappy participants who invested through the syndicate. Syndicates can either be company led or investor led.

This notion is more common now than it was when we started the fund early in 2013, there’s still occasional question about whether this slows down a company’s operations or gives investors too much control. This would make room for a meaningful number of other investors in the syndicate but also the concentration we needed.

Her note read: "… and it is pretty impressive that you've managed to stay relevant for a decade, it is a very long time in digital years…" It gave me a pause. Then once every three weeks, then, as you start to see the curve flatten after 2013, once a month. I had to go check how long I've been at this.

For me, it has always boiled down to honesty with my manager specifically each time I was ready for a transition. My manager and I were very different, but I felt comfortable having frank conversations with him that it wasn’t the right career for me. I used to work on multiple IPOs every week, so it didn’t seem like such a big deal.
