This Week in Podcasts: THE Jason Calacanis is on Swimming with Allocators. JCal shared w Earnest and I how he has improved his LP and VC investing over time. Continuous improvement! One area of improvement has been his manager investment criteria. JCal describes how he now looks for the 3 d’s: deal flow, decision making, and a double down strategy. It was very cool of him to share how the ability to double down on your winners is something he learned the hard way from his VC investing. “What we did in those early funds was the squeaky wheel - the founder who lobbied me the most…What you have to do with that reserve capital is have a system for investing and communicate to the founders.” Jason shares how he’s made big improvement to his deal flow and decision making, too.

The 3rd and final part of The Biotech Startups Podcast conversation with Mike Stadnisky, Managing Director of Thielsen Capital is the masterclass you didn’t know you needed. Some highlights: – Why your financial model and eating pie should have NOTHING in common – Identifying, forming, AND supporting partnership deals for long-term success – Choosing the right partner and investors to create a brain-trust for growth – How business strategy, the financial model, and your cap table are all intimately related – and why you cannot serve science the way you want to if you don’t have those 3 things aligned – The future-casting exercise every startup founder should be doing – And the two professionals every startup should hire early to create an uncommon advantage (most founders sleep on this) Mike makes learning about the business side of a biotech startup massively fun, and you will love listening in. (Has anyone told him he should be teaching this stuff in all his spare time?! 😉) As usual, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and you’ll definitely want to bookmark this episode for long-term reference. Head over to Apple Podcasts or Spotify for this episode and more stories only a biotech exec can tell! https://lnkd.in/ggmfGY7B #biotechnology #lifesciences #podcast
