My Coaching Practice
VCto11 is a coaching practice for venture investors who want a push to make their efforts maximally impactful and help them out from the pack—regardless of whether you’re a new analyst or running your own firm as a managing partner.
Are you currently “tracking” an enterprise company that you’re interested in, but worried that you’re going lose the opportunity to invest if it gets noticed by a fund with a bigger brand name?
How many customers have you introduced the company to?
How many hiring intros have you made for their key open positions?
Why aren’t you just putting a term sheet on the table now?
Make it easy for them to say yes.
I help my clients figure out what the “eleven out of ten” is for any given situation that a venture professional might encounter.
My clients generally fall into the following categories:
New associates or analysts looking to get more intentional about their time and external branding
Principals looking to plot a path to partner and trying to figure out whether that means staying or moving on from their current firm
Managing partners at emerging firms looking for a sounding board on strategy, personnel issues and team efficiency, as well as fundraising guidance.
Generally, I kick things off with a two-session package to give us a chance to know each other offer some assessment and directional guidance, and either plan what an ongoing engagement might focus on or just offer what I would be focusing on if you wanted to work through it independently.
My clients generally spend the majority of our time working on being more intentional about their time, identifying goals, and working through tactical issues--everything from how to plan out an LP fundraising to how to make partner somewhere.
This initial two-session package is $600. After that, sessions are $250 if you're doing every other week and $275 if you're doing monthly--and we have a 24-hour no refund cancellation policy.
You can sign up and schedule here if you'd like to give the first two a shot.
If you have any questions, please reach out.
To prep for our first session, here’s a template for thinking about the various functions of being a venture professional. Where are you on each one? Have you gotten to “Minimum Viable Principal” yet—the bar for being able to lead a deal? Do you understand how to chart a path to being world class in that area? Let’s talk about your plan.
