I read something remarkable today. Lacework will be purchased by Wiz for a price that is over 90% less than its prior valuation. Over 90%. How did this happen? I'll posit it is because we look around and see others doing it - and we say that's good enough for me - I'm in. Yes I know there are other factors including abundant and cheap liquidity...but that wouldn't really help the intent of this post...so bear with me. So along that vein, one of the things I do appreciate about our Cap Table is the geographic diversity. Mercury and Integr8d Capital are from Houston. Harbert Management Corporation is from Richmond, Va; Piper Sandler is from Minneapolis, MN. Of course we have both coasts represented with Lytical Ventures and Silver Lake. Finally, we have HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds out of Germany. It's not so much the geography but the diversity of thought it represents. It's my observation that epochs of excellence or ingenuity have always been preceded by an influx of people or ideas from differing backgrounds into the region. We should embrace the idea of listening to folks that have ideas that are dissimilar to our own. Graylog's investor geographic dispersion does represent a check and balance on how we perceive the tech world we are in (and I think that's kind of cool and in fact healthy for us). In that regard - have a look at this opening below - come work in a vibrant and diverse Houston. Alternatively, I'm over-indexing on all of this, and what Aziz Gilani is really trying to tell me is he's tired of talking to me so he needs some help.

In today's post, we will discuss the impact of venture capital funding on job creation and economic growth. Venture-backed companies play a vital role in job generation and innovation. We'll delve into the numbers and showcase success stories. Stay tuned for some inspiring examples! #JobCreation #EconomicGrowth #InnovationSuccess

VentureCapital #Hiring Ideal profile for a Venture Capital Candidate : I am not a veteran, but ~5 years in VC has given me access to people who are leaders and have written / spoken about this. A synthesis of all of this led me to: Someone who embodies all these seemingly contrasting traits; might seem impossible, but here's what the "ideal" profile looks like: CORE : 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲: This forms the foundation. The individual actively seeks new information, identifies patterns, and asks insightful questions. 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: They embrace diverse perspectives, readily consider new ideas, and adapt to evolving situations. ________________________________ BALANCING : 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐯𝐬. 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭: - Leverages introverted strengths: Deep thinking, analysis, focused research, independent learning. Key: Thoughtfulness: Carefully considers information, weighs options, and makes well-informed decisions. - Develops extroverted qualities: Effective communication, networking, collaboration, engaging presentation. Key: Networking ability: Builds strong relationships, fosters communication, bridges connections between different groups. 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐯𝐬. 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫: - Possesses strong academic rigour: Research skills, theoretical knowledge, problem-solving ability. - Gains practical experience: Applies theory to real-world scenarios, learns from hands-on projects. ________________________________ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐭 - "ideal" is flexible: The specific weight given to each trait depends on the context and specific role. - Based on potential, not just existing skillset: Individuals willing to develop and stretch beyond their comfort zones. - Diversity + Versatility matters: Candidates who demonstrate different combinations of these traits, not just a perfect match. This offers a starting point for seeking individuals with balance rather than fitting someone into a rigid mold. I hope this helps! #VentureCapital #Career

Question of the Week: What do you do if conflict resolution is disrupting team dynamics in your Venture Capital firm? Response: This question applies to all firms, not just venture capital. I don't know what the "ideal" way is to deal with conflicts, but I do know that the "worst" way to resolve them is to avoid them. Conflict resolution begins with acknowledging the conflict, discussing it with the parties involved, and finding a solution (or middle ground). Venture capital firms have the additional challenge that team sizes are usually very small and relationships among team members can be highly personal. I also think there can be a negative compounding effect when teams are 100% virtual leaving few opportunities to discuss conflicts without the helpful nuances of human nature. Developing internal policies to resolve conflicts is a great way to ensure they're addressed rapidly and systematically.
