As I’ve worked to build out HOF Capital ’s portfolio acceleration platform , the #1 question I think about is: how do we scalably support our companies? Many VCs offer (or strive to offer) a bundle of levers and support structures to help their portfolio companies. We have lower AUM, therefore lower management fees.

Thanks to all of the amazing founders, advisors, co-investors, corporate partners, and others that helped make 2018 an amazing year. To that point, we are most excited when our founders are able to go from slide deck to product-market fit and Series A and beyond. First check leads in 5 founding teams, all in stealth.

Disclaimer: we have three portfolio companies in the consumer mobile space, still in stealth). Social commerce is a thing – Over 76M people in the US will make a purchase via a social network at least once this year (38.4% of US social network users) according to Falcon.io’s 2021 digital marketing trends.

Not because they’re all operating in stealth or pre-product – in fact some already are earning $1m+ in revenue per annum. And my sense is the trend carries outside of our portfolio these days. Founders are building small, focused teams based on people they worked with previously and referrals from their networks.

“ US Navy Sea Shadow stealth craft ” by US Navy employee – [link]. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Stealth is overrated. …and I’ve said it to founders on more occasions than I can count: For startups steath is overrated. . Too many founders feel that their idea is way too special.

With COVID raging at the beginning and end of the year, it is all the more amazing what our portfolio companies have accomplished the last twelve months. We are truly to our founders, limited partners, co-investors, and friends for another year of growth and learning. 1/ We started @boldstartvc in 2010 w/ $1m.

In our case customers = founders, and supporting the ones we’ve backed is our firm’s #1 priority. They can help direct our proactive networking – ie maybe there’s a university campus where Homebrew isn’t well-known so we try to figure out how to solve that problem. .
