Chances are, you’ve read or at least heard about the book “The 7 habits of highly effective people“. First published in 1989 and with over 40 million copies sold, It’s one of the bestselling non-fiction books in history. For the 30 year anniversary, the publishers kindly sent me a copy of the new edition with fresh insights from Stephen R. Covey’s son, Sean Covey.

Last year I published on VC Cafe a post titled the 量子网游加速器iOS游戏下载_量子网游加速器安卓版下载 ...:安卓版下载 电脑版下载 手机扫码下载游戏 礼包领取 量子网游加速器介绍 量子加速器为竞技而生,全网价格最低,低至1元起,新用户免费试用。有效解决玩家在网络游戏中遇到的延时过高,登录困难, ..., and this time I will apply the book’s principles to the world of Venture Capital.

First and foremost, Covey rejects the advice of most business books on sales, influence or persuasion, because they promote fake behaviour, intended to manipulate the other’s behaviour. I.e. he rejects the notion of ‘pretending’ to care, fake smiling, etc, to get others to like you. He claims that the 7 habits are natural principles, and advocates for an abundance mindset vs. a scarcity mindset. Meaning, a belief that relationships (personal and professional) are not a zero-sum-game – one person’s success doesn’t reduce the other’s.

Let’s dive into the 7 habits of highly effective people and how they can be reflected in the world of venture capital.

“Focus your responses and initiatives on the center of your influence and constantly work to expand it.”

Proactivity can take several forms in venture capital. William McMillan from Frontline Ventures recently shared 网易MuMu模拟器-安卓模拟器-极速最安全:网易MuMu(安卓模拟器),是网易官方推出的精品游戏服务平台,安装后可在电脑上运行各类游戏与应用,具备全面兼容、操作流畅、智能辅助等特点,每天还会为您推荐火热的应用和好玩的游戏，给你带来电脑玩手游 …. There are logical business reasons for it. A 2018 坚果加速器怎么样 found that speed is the third most important factor for entrepreneurs when dealing with VC, but it’s only the 10th on the list for VCs.

What’s important to founders vs. VCs (Creandum)

But being proactive goes beyond just speed. To be an effective VC, proactivity is part of the job description:

  • Proactively learn about new companies trends and markets
  • Proactively network (deal flow, peers, industry partners)
  • Proactively seek opportunities to help

My interpretation for VC has to do with portfolio construction. This is not merely a decision on the number of deals a fund should do or the percentage reserved for follow-on investments, but rather visualising where you want your fund want to be in X years time and what we have to do to get there. Visualising is an essential part of planning – Mike Maples Jr calls it ‘Backcasting’.

Starting with the end in mind also comes to play in investment committees. At the time of making an investment VCs often think about what could be the potential outcome for a company and what needs to get accomplished before the next round.

This principle is about not acting immediately, but thinking first. VC funding favours rapid growth, but “accelerating” without thinking where it would take the startup can often mean not ending up where you intended. Starting with an end in mind is also very good advice for working with portfolio companies.

“Organise and execute around priorities”

The decision making quadrant (Source: 坚果网络加速)

My interpretation for the world of VC is learning effective time management. This habit is about separating what’s important, from what’s URGENT. The right thing would be to prioritise what is both urgent AND important.

We spend too much time on quadrant III and IV: calls, interruptions, busy work, networking events… For something to be deemed ‘important’ it needs to create results – contribute to your mission, or high priority goals. The book recommends delegating what you can (hire well and work with professionals) and don’t wait for important things like planning, relationship building, etc to become a crisis.

Apart from time management, habit #3 is about personal management. Putting first things first also means allocating time to be with family, take care of our health or exercise. Don’t wait until it becomes a crisis. In a recent interview to the Observer Effect, Marc Andreessen shared how he schedules every minute of his day, including ‘critical’ free time. To do just that, my partner at Remagine Ventures uses and recommends Clockwise.

Having a win-win mindset means constantly looking for opportunities to collaborate, and acting with integrity and maturity. This can take many manifestations in VC – from sharing interesting deal flow opportunities between peers to being a reference for a new fund or making introductions to potential investors when you know a GP is raising. The results of this could yield much stronger relationships in the long run. Don’t be a short term optimiser. On this topic, I highly recommend the book “Give and Take” by Adam Grant.

“Use empathetic listening to genuinely understand a person, which compels them to reciprocate the listening and take an open mind to be influenced by you”

To achieve habit #4 (thinking win-win) we need to adopt habit #5. Seek to understand by really considering the other side (wether it’s a founder, a VC or board member). We all suffer from cognitive biases, and while awareness is the first step for overcoming these biases, they tend to only get worse with time, as VCs believe they have sharpened their pattern recognition.

The cognitive bias codex (Source: Wikipedia)

This principle is not just about our ability to really listen, but to坚果加速器怎么样 the other side, or what Covey called “Emphatic listening”. I was particularly taken by one example:

A startup was negotiating a contract with a large national institution. The institution flew over their lawyers, negotiator and two presidents of their large banks to create an eight person negotiating team. The startup decided, it’s either a win-win, or no deal. The CEO of the startup sat across the table from the bank’s negotiation team and said: “we would like for you to write the contract the way you want it soo we can understand your needs and concerns. Then we can talk about pricing”

VCs that do this effectively with founders, can make even a pass decision become a positive interaction. Avoid can replies if you can and be thoughtful when giving feedback.

免费加速器app

Combine the strengths of people through positive teamwork, so as to achieve goals that no one could have done alone.

In the book, Covey refers to synergy as effective team work. To me, “Synergy” sounds a bit like MBA jargon.

When a true synergetic relationship exists between the VC partner and the startup founder, it’s often a story of 1+1=3. This is where a lot of the ‘added value’ that VCs bring (or claim to bring) comes into account. For me it’s about obsessing myself with the company and its market. Reading and sharing relevant news with the founder, digging deep on the product and thinking what introductions I can make this week to help the founder progress across talent acquisition, commercial deals, partnerships or follow on funding. It’s also possible to develop strong synergies with your LPs. It’s a magical moment if and when there’s a willing recipient on the other side.

“The Upward Spiral model consists of three parts: learn, commit, do.”

When I was at Google, I took a course called “Search inside yourself” (you can also read the book by Chade Meng Tan). This principle, very much reminded me of that course. We have a number of sources of energy:

  • Mental – reading, writing, planning
  • Physical – exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress management

  • Emotional/ Social – service, empathy, intrinsic security

These sources of energy can be filled and depleted. To stay in balance, we need to engage in some personal TLC. This means working on your phone addiction, but for me it also means keeping the curiosity and passion that drove you to enter VC fresh.

It was great to re-read the book with my VC hat on, and a good reminder to never stop learning.

A new report on global venture capital investment volume shows that H1 2020 investments in startups reached $129 billion (this includes all stages as well as CVC activity). It’s a 6.5% decline from H1 2019 ($138 billion), but the impact on VC funding is less than originally projected. It appears that VCs got comfortable doing deals over Zoom.

It’s unclear whether Israel managed to buck a global downward trend, or wether the investment volume was driven by overly optimistic investors and high levels of dry powder in the market. Let’s examine some of the pros and cons of the current state of the Israeli tech sector

坚果加速器官安卓版
Israel’s record breaking Q2 2020 (Source)

坚果加速器官安卓版

  • Innovation never stopped in Israel – several sectors are seeing increased activity as a result of Covid-19 including health, enterprise software for remote work, cyber security, e-commerce etc. Israel attracts over 25% of global investment in cyber for example and health investments in Israel rose to 70 in the past six months.
  • More talent is getting into the tech sector – a new report by坚果网络加速 showed that the number of Haredi (Jewish Orthodox) employed in the tech sector grew by 52% in the period between 2014 and 2018. The total number of Haredi tech employees reached 9,700 in 2018 representing approximately 3% of the tech labor force. 71% of those (6,900) were women. Talent crunch is one of the biggest pain points for Israeli startup, and while more work needs to take place to grow the inclusiveness and diversity of the sector, this is a positive trend.
  • Foreign investments remained strong in Q2 2020, reaching 52% of the total investment volume
Foreign investments in Israeli startups (Source: IVC Q2 2020 report)

Cons

  • Slowdown in exits – Despite an increase in the average exit value from $98M in H1 2019 to $112M in H1 2020, the number of exits in H1 2020 dropped significantly both in number (by 32% from 76 to 52) and in value (by 22% down to $5.82 billion from $7.47 billion in H1 2019) compared to H1/2019. Projections are for additional slow down in exits in H2 2020 as the expectation is that only cash rich corporate will be able to afford to acquire companies in times of uncertainty.
Israel exits report H1 2020 (Source IVC)
  • Covid-19 fallout – it’s too early to predict the economic impact of Covid-19 on the tech industry and wider economy as a whole. Given Israel has a small local market, startups aim to go global from day one, and many target the American market. As consumer confidence and enterprise spending slow down in the US, it has a lagging effect on Israeli startups. Many large tech companies froze hiring and conducted layoffs, including Amdocs, which plans to let go 1,000 employees, or Intel CEO’s recent cryptic announcement about outsourcing manufacturing. Much of their recovery depends on the US market and potentially on government support.

So far the Israeli tech sector has been resilient, and as a seed investor I’m optimistic about the Israeli market’s potential to not only survive in this crisis, but thrive. “It’s time to build“, said Marc Andreessen in April, and perhaps more than ever, we’re going to need tech and innovation to overcome tomorrow’s challenges.

“After the crash, venture capital was scarce to non-existent. (Most of the funds that started in the late part of the boom would be underwater). Angel investment, which was small to start with, disappeared, and most corporate VCs shut down. VC’s were no longer insisting that startups spend faster, and “swing for the fences”. In fact, they were screaming at them to dramatically reduce their burn rates. It was a nuclear winter for startup capital.”

The Lean Startup movement started out of necessity. In a capital scarce environment following the Dot Com crash, startups needed to do more with less and survive long enough to generate revenue. Most of the Lean Startup principles remain true, as described by Steve Blank in The Lean Startup Changes Everything:

  • Business Plans are dead: Startups are a series of hypothesis that need to be tested. Ditch the business plan and when assumptions are proven wrong, pivot.
  • 坚果加速器怎么样 Build a product your customers want (vs. what you think they might need) by talking to customers and testing every aspect of the product features, pricing, etc. Start by focusing on the users who’s need you solve the most, they will be your early adopters.
  • Agile Development: launch an MVP early and iterate quickly. Every startup has limited time to find product-market fit before running out of cash and speed is an important element in survival.

Maximum Viable Product

坚果网络加速

An MVP was supposed to be launched as early as possible. “If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late”, was Reid Hoffman’s advice.

But when it comes to launching a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) these days, as incremental and iterative prototypes, things have changed significantly:

  • Capital abundance: There’s never been more seed capital in the market. Startups that had to be cash constrained before can afford to raise capital in a number of ways and acquire resources pre-launch
  • Improved infrastructure:
    • Better tools – The rise of no-code and improved cloud infrastructure across every aspect of software development, marketing and design, make possible to launch prototypes much quicker, reducing the barriers to entry for competitors
    • Better targeting – Advances in adtech, the proliferation of social media and lookalike tech make it easier to target users
  • Bigger markets / higher stakes:
    • B2C – Nearly everyone on the planet is connected to the Internet via smartphones increasing the potential audience for technology massively
    • B2B – ‘Digital transformation’ is accelerating Enterprise adoption of tech. Single users can test enterprise software using a credit card.

In 2020, there is no second chance to make a first impression. With a growing number of new startups, first mover advantage quickly fades away. Brand loyalty is low, as it takes time to build a brand, and creating emotional attachment to a product is especially hard if the product is half baked.

Cash (alone) isn’t king

Capital resources alone don’t do the trick. In 2018, Quibi (back then called NewTV), raised $750 million in seed capital pre-launch (the service went on to raise an additional $1 billion ahead of the product launch in March 2020). Quibi didn’t stop to test the hypothesis with a lean startup approach. Well capitalised, Quibi could afford to hire the best talent, outspend the competition and launch a ‘Maximum Viable Product’ worthy of having the potential to beat Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and a number of other streaming wars competitors (NBC’s Peacock, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney+ and Youtube). The jury is still out on Quibi, and one has to keep in mind that producing quality content is expensive and takes time, but money alone didn’t drive adoption. To be fair, it’s also highly unlikely that a minimum viable product approach would have worked here either. It had to be good enough to begin with.

How Covid-19 changed things

坚果加速器怎么样

It’s hard to predict the true shape of the recovery. Some might claim that the world economy saw its shortest recession in March, and others claim we’ll experience a “W” shape recovery with peaks and troughs or a long U shape recovery. In the endless survey results published, results often contradict one another, but one stat that got stuck in my mind is a survey of Fortune 500 CEOs by Forbes, where the large majority of respondents expected things to go back to pre-Covid-19 levels only in Q1 2022.

At the risk of sounding too conservative, what matters for startups now, as venture capital becomes less available and consumer spending tightens, is adaptation and survival. If things aren’t going the way you planned, consider what hypothesis needs to change. I was reminded recently that in the jungle it’s not the strongest that survive, but those who adapt the best.

In conclusion, I believe most of the Lean Startup isn’t fully dead. The core principles remain true, but I’d argue that the standards for the MVP have gone up. The fundamentals (unit economics/ margins, CAC>LTV, the importance of retention) are even more important now. Growth is necessary, but so is efficiency in spending and reducing churn. In addition, startups need to take more things in consideration when going to market with a new product. Perhaps the next thing that needs to be born out of necessity is ‘Lean Marketing’, but that’s for another story.

Google startup outreach programmes

If you’re a startup founder, you’re probably looking at Google in some way, maybe in terms of partnership or acquisition, but maybe some level of suspicion and fear. Will they compete with me? what if they decide to enter my niche? What will they announce in the next Google I/O keynote? The same might be true for your view of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, etc.

For many CEOs, competition with the tech giants an existential concern. But having Google (or the other FAANGs) in your corner, can also be a great asset. A relationship with Google can take many forms, which I will detail in this post as a guide for founders exploring their relationship with big tech.

In the past I’ve covered the rise of corporate venture capital and the growing number of Fortune 500 companies who are actively launching CVC arms or investing in startups/funds. But investing is only part of the picture. Companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Apple have a number of ways to engage startups, ranging from not-for-profit mentorship to lucrative commercial relationships and partnerships.

In this post, I’ll try to organise the various startup engagement and outreach programs at Google. I believe I am qualified to talk about this as I spent ~6 years at Google in strategic partnerships (commerce), as head of Campus London (Google’s first physical startup hub), Head of Google for Entrepreneurs Europe (now called Google for Startups) and eventually general partner for Google Ventures.

There are four general buckets for engaging with a corporate like Google:

Funding – this consists of cash investment for equity

  • GV (formerly Google Ventures) – Started in 2009, GV is Alphabet’s venture capital fund, focused primarily on early stage in diverse fields: from life sciences and healthcare to robotics and entereprise tech. Notable portfolio companies include Uber, Slack, Jet.com, FlatIron Health, Kobalt Music Group and many others.
  • CapitalG (formerly Google Capital) – Started in 2013, CapitalG is Alpahbet’s growth stage venture fund backed by Google (larger ticket size). Typically invest in series C and above, notable portfolio companies include Stripe, Lyft, Robinhood, UI Path, Snap, Duolingo and many more household names.
  • Gradient Ventures – an early stage fund backed by Alphabet, investing exclusively in AI first companies.
  • Google Assistant – relatively unknown, Google has put together a team dedicated to investing in early stage startups that are moving the voice and assistance ecosystem forward. The website lists a handful of portfolio companies.
  • Google Corporate Development – Google may sometimes invest in a company from its balance sheet. This happened for example in the case of Magic Leap.

M&A – Acquisitions

cktsb.ailom.com:2021-3-11 · cktsb.ailom.com

坚果加速器官安卓版 include Youtube and Nest, or more recently smart glasses manufacturer North or wearable tracker FitBit (under review).

Commercial – a data/tech/commercial partnership or client relationship

This is where it starts getting a bit more complicated. There are multiple arms at Googlee that might do commercial deals with startups and it would be ambitious to try to list them all. So I’ll focus on the main partnerships buckets and app stores.

Partnerships/ Commercial

Many of the partnerships I’ve experienced during my time at Google had to do with strategic content partnerships:

  • Commerce – partnerships with online retailers around google shopping, google wallet, etc.
  • Books/publishing/news – partnerships with publishers of all sizes
  • Geo/Maps – partnerships around locations, public transport, traffic, etc.
  • Search /Assistant – search partnerships are more of a ‘catch all’ bucket and can range from social content (like tweets) to stocks information etc. Anything you’d expect to see called out in a search results page or an activation of Google home.
  • Marketing partnerships – Google curates agencies or companies who pass exams to become certified partners or resellers of Google marketing products.

Another big commercial area is Google Cloud for startups. In addition to the many services offered by Google Cloud directly (App Engine, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Kubernetes, etc), startups targeting developers can list their extensions in the Google Cloud Marketplace, Firebase extensions and the G Suite marketplace.

I’m not a huge fan of ‘beauty contests’ of startup ecosystems, but it’s helpful to compare ecosystems to measure progress, especially for the smaller or up and coming hubs. And, I do like stats.

Covid-19 poses unique challenges

No report in 2020 would be complete without the impact of Covid-19:

  • Capital availability – three out of every four startups have had the fundraising process disrupted
    • 18% with term sheets had rounds cancelled

Virtual worlds – then, now and next

Kevin Baxpehler 1 Comment

Virtual worlds are a fascinating topic for us at Remagine Ventures. Perhaps their appeal has to do with the escapism we all need during lockdown, or the ability to teleport ourselves to a different, utopian, virtual reality. This post is an adapted version of my talk at the Media and esports online conference we hosted earlier this week.

Let’s first start with a definition:

A virtual world is a computer-simulated environment[1] which may be populated by many users who can create a personal avatar, and simultaneously and independently explore the virtual world, participate in its activities and communicate with others. These avatars can be textual, two or graphical representations, or live video avatars with auditory and touch sensations. In general, virtual worlds allow for multiple users but single player computer games, such as Skyrim, can also be considered a type of virtual world.

Wikipedia

Virtual worlds aren’t new. As a matter of fact, one can argue they exist for as long as the internet has. The first virtual worlds were simple chat rooms & communities. These then developed into more elaborate MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons). In the 90s these MUDs in turn became MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games), which took another leap forward in the 2000s when more sophisticated 3D graphics and virtual currency-based economies were added – laying the groundwork for games like Second Life. 

Virtual Worlds Aren’t new

The first major economic transactions in virtual worlds started around 2007 when the City of Amsterdam inside Second Life was sold for $50,000 or when someone bought a unique elf on World of Warcraft for $9,500. In 2010 Jon Jacobs built & operated a virtual nightclub inside the game Entropia and sold it for $635,000! 

But these were certainly more the exception than the norm. That said, we at Remagine Ventures believe that social & economic activity inside virtual worlds is becoming mainstream. Specifically, we see 3 key drivers:

  1. The number of participants has tremendously increased. As a proxy we could use the estimated number of gamers out there, which is around 2.5 billion according to Newzoo. 
  2. Advancements in Technology: Game engines like Unreal or Unity, which are available for free to developers, have reached an incredible level of illusion (see video below). In addition, Cloud infrastructure makes game streaming possible, increasing the reach even further and reducing the costs (as no expensive hardware is needed to play). And finally, micro-transactions, which are key to monetisatioin.
  3. Changes in consumer behaviour: Already before Covid-19 we spent an average of 6 hours and 42 minutes online – each day. The more time we spend online the more important these activities become.

As the time and availability of virtual worlds has grown, so have the transactions within these environments. The global virtual goods market is expected to grow from $38 billion in 2017 to an estimated $190 billion by 2025 (based on market research firm Adroit Market Research). 

Towards a Metaverse

The concept of Metaverse deserves its own deep dive. If you want to learn more about it I highly recommend reading Matthew Ball’s excellent article, “The Metaverse: What It Is, Where to Find it, Who Will Build It, and Fortnite“. In short, the metaverse is taking the virtual worlds to a next level, more than just a virtual theme park, where people can play, hang out, shop, consume content etc. A good example of this is Fortnite and in all likelihood also the thought behind facebook’s acquisition of Oculus Rift. 

Getting there – The Metaverse

In any case most of these theories are still early, we there are many open questions still to answer. We are only at the beginning of what potentially could be a new version of the internet. We are confident that virtual worlds and the metaverse can create massive economic opportunities to build new brands, drive commerce, and form the entertainment companies of the future.

But lockdown has forced people to stay at home around the world, increasing their overall time spent consuming entertainment/content and playing games online. This is all true for Zoom and Netflix, but what’s been the impact on the startups? Have they experienced tailwinds in their traction or has it gotten harder to grow?

How to be a startup Mensch

Eze Vidra 1 Comment
坚果网络加速

Many Americans would be familiar with the term ‘Mensch’. According to Wikipedia, a Mensch is a person of integrity and honour. In this post, I wanted to share a few examples of what it means in practice in the startup world. The post is written in male figure but is intended for all sexes. I believe it’s also a derivative of Ubermensch: “Beyond-Man,” “Superman,” “Overman,” “Uberman”, or “Superhuman”, a 坚果加速器吧 in the 哪个网游加速器比较好用？ - 知乎 - Zhihu:2021-6-4 · 测试的游戏是安卓版PUBG M亚服，以每个加速器都玩了三局的表现，并且游戏加速器的丢包率or网速与游戏中的网速有一些不同。因为毕竟加速器是理想状态下的加速表现，而实际情况中，如果你手机信号不是很强，会极大影响你在游戏里的网速。.

I got the idea for this post on my run this morning, and I guess it reminded me a bit of the book Give and Take by Adam Grant. The most successful people are givers. And the least successful people are givers too. How do you maintain integrity and end up on the top group? For a thorough answer you’ll have to read the book, but being a mensch is being a giver, and helping others want to be givers as well.

What makes someone a good startup Mensch?

  1. Keep your promises – for example, make introductions, or give meaningful feedback when you say you’re going to do so.
  2. Say thank you – when someone does something nice for you, it’s good practice to give a heartfelt thank you. Acknowledging the person that helped you is a great start.
  3. Give credit where credit is due – reached an amazing milestone? closed a round? congrats! it’s takes a village to raise a startup, a mensch would call out those that made it possible.
  4. Go the extra mile – everyone is busy and sometimes the requests we get are not exactly straightforward. A mensch would go the extra mile, even if it inconveniences them at the exact moment. Help someone find a job by doing more than just forwarding an email.
  5. Pay it forward – it’s nice to reciprocate, but often there’s an imbalance between people needing help and people giving help. One way to ‘repay’ the favour is to pay it forward – just commit to do the same for someone else in need.
  6. 安卓(Android)游戏下载_手机下载__太平洋下载中心:2021-7-23 · 包括安卓(Android)软件下载、安卓(Android)游戏下载。 海量安卓软件游戏，高速安全下载。 360手机助手 支付宝 QQ浏览器 360手机卫士– “How can I help?” – don’t you wish you heard it more often? When your hammer means you’re looking for opportunities to help, they will naturally appear to you.
  7. Update the person that introduced you – supposed you were introduced to a potential customer or investor, and supposed they ended up converting (buying, investing, etc). Did you update the person that introduced you? It doesn’t mean you owe them, and the update would be much appreciated to close the loop.
  8. Praise good behaviour – you see someone behaving extraordinarily? praise the behaviour, with true feelings. Do it soon after it happened. Tell the person what they did right, encourage them, and they are likely to repeat that behaviour.
  9. Don’t be shortsighted, Prioritise long term goals – the problem with being a mensch, or a giver, is that you can quickly let negative thoughts and fears of getting taken advantage of, take over. Personal branding is not about reaching a number followers on social media, but rather how you are perceived as a person/professional.
  10. Cultivating seeds – a mensch is someone that listens and sees value in people regardless of their official title or position in life. If you’re lucky, it is the person that helps you early on in your career. Be that person.
