Simone Girardeau returns with part two of her series on the role of Value Creation in a private equity context, and what it means for management teams. She sets out the different models of Value Creation team, and the important role they might play pre-deal, during the hold and at exit. One of the things that differentiates us at Coppett Hill Growth Advisory is that we have worked in private equity value creation and investment roles, as operators and as consultants, meaning we can help to translate between these worlds. We aim to shed some light on the context behind certain Board dynamics, requests from your PE representative, or changes in priorities.

VC is so focussed on doing, you rarely get a chance to learn. The past week at the Kauffman Fellows module in LA taught me a lot about investment thesis and portfolio construction. My top takeaways and nuggets: 1. Your investment thesis ≠ your personal brand 2. Find ways to make your fund 10% better each week (Austin Clements) 3. Board members are stress absorbers not generators 4. You build your reputation on pass emails (David Lee) 5. Winning a deal is about understanding the "why" behind a founder's asks 6. 55% of VC funds return <1x (Mark Mullen) 7. Finding the intersection between your investment threshold and market inefficiencies (by stage, geo, etc) is the key to generating alpha (Clint Korver) 8. Minimise drag on your firm at all costs (Phil Wickham) 9. The most valuable investor skills are: persistence, resilience, leadership, work ethic, ambition, cultural alignment and attention to detail (Mark Suster) 10. Today there are 350 public unicorns across internet and software, but 1,400 private ones. That doesn't add up. Massive kudos to Nick Kim and Solomon Hailu for bringing together these speakers to challenge and inform our ways of thinking. Coming from the UK, I appreciate how much we have to learn from the more developed West Coast venture ecosystem. Photo and hiking creds Susie, Ines 🙌 #venturecapital #vc
