17 I want to talk about... Why I m here Why entrepreneurship matters What I ve learned about entrepreneurs Practical advice for starting out / up
18 You want to talk about...??
19 Seed stage VC + Startup accelerator MD Entrepreneur / product / business guy Northwest native w/bay area + east coast perspective
20 Size Time
21 Why startups matter (i) US venture-backed companies employ >12MM people + drive >20% of US GDP Startups account for nearly all net new and 20% of gross US job creation
22 Why startups matter (ii)
23 Why startups matter (iii) If you re wired a certain way, you ll never Have more fun Feel more empowered (and responsible) Work with more talented + selfmotivated people Be careful: you may be ruined for life + never be happy again in a regular job
24 What do I look for? People, People, People Ability, Commitment, Skills Mix, Track Record Opportunity Scale, Stage / Maturity, Potential for Disruption Approach Speed / Agility, Customer Engagement, Capital Efficiency Idea Credible point of entry, consistent with first 3 items?
25 People patterns Insatiable need to create + build Prioritize autonomy + control over status + $$ Don t need a ton of external validation Lofty standards (for themselves and others) High tolerance for uncertainty Impatient Relentless
26 Don t do it for $$ There are a million easier ways to make a buck If money is what motivates you, do something else
27 Opportunity patterns ideas!= opportunities Customer Discovery happens in two separate, distinct phases: problem discovery and, later, solution discovery - Steve Blank, Why too many startups suck
28 Opportunity math Customer Development --> Conviction Creating value!= Extracting value Positive Margin = Survival --> Success Lifetime value (LTV) > Cost of sale (COS) Most founders MASSIVELY overestimate LTV and underestimate COS
29 Team What skills (i.e., people) people do you need to make this business work? Who are the founders? What gaps remain + how will you fill them?
30 Founder hygiene Do the hard work BEFORE you start: How much equity for each partner Over what period of time will the shares vest What happens if one partner leaves Who is CEO they can fire the other partners What are the salary NEEDS (not wants) of each partner(s)
31 Gut check Write a list of the top 10 personal reasons why you re starting a business If money is #1 reason you re making a mistake Don t just ask why do this? Consider asking, why not do this? Depending on your skills + temperament the worst case scenario might not be so bad
32 Get good help Get referrals for 3 lawyers and 3 accountants + choose 1 of each Negotiate first year fees with these providers to be low / deferred Meet with accountant and talk about tax implications of your new business on your personal life etc Make sure you file 83(b) form for IRS if applicable -- Ask accountant whether this applies to you Acct or lawyer will help you get an EIN number from the IRS this is the soc sec of your business Establish companylegal@gmail.com Use this address for all correspondence as a legal depository (good to have a cc alias like this for legal purposes)
