1) The more I work with our portfolio companies, the more I think the founder's job, in the simplest of terms, can be described as momentum generation. Momentum compounds and pushes companies forward -- at the same time, turning momentum around is challenging.

We've been working with Joe since his time at 8VC in 2018! Been really cool watching him turn his passion for education that he would routinely talk about back in the day into a product that's getting rapid adoption by many of the largest school districts.
Today, we're excited to announce our $9.4M Series A, led by Felicis and Inspired, and with participation from Susa and 8VC!
Our mission is to radically improve the process of K-12 education. This fundraise accelerates our progress in that direction.

Over the years have increasingly started viewing annual meetings as a really cool opportunity to take a step back and reflect on the work we do
Am proud of the work we do and feel grateful to be able to be a part of it
We just wrapped our annual LP meeting. Here's a glimpse of what we've been up to.

@cszy

Fieldguide's growth has been remarkable, and this round marks an exciting new chapter in their drive to modernize audit & advisory. Excited to renew our support. Congrats

1/ Gross margin improvement is necessary (definitional) but not sufficient to make a tech-enabled service company venture backable. Some thoughts inspired by Howie Liu’s recent Invest Like The Best appearance

2) Creating momentum directly ties into how you approach building culture. Some cultures are purely momentum based -- everything is great when growth is strong but the moment things slow down you stop hearing about how much employees like working there etc.

3) Conversely, other cultures are built bottoms up around a set of core principles and a baseline expectation that building a company is really hard and that’s ok. These are the teams that have real durability.

So much manual work goes into making flexible subscription billing across different pricing structures work.
@AlexKolicich
and I are excited to be working with the Subskribe team to make things a little less painful for software companies and let them focus on their business!
We are excited to announce our Series A investment in
@SubskribeInc
which is building the first end-to-end subscription management system for enterprises.

@tryramp
is a great example of a company that has been able to maintain great momentum despite some macro headwinds, which can be directly attributed to a culture centered around an understanding that not everything is up and to the right all the time.

6/ Need to combine margin structure improvement with a clear articulation of how you’re also creating a “better” service. Margin-only story is a great candidate for PE-style successes but you need both as best in class services is what drives winner-take-most dynamics in venture

7/ Great 8VC tech-services companies like Loop, Candid, and Reserv are succeeding not only because they have better margins compared to legacy providers, but also because they're offering a truly differentiated service relative to status quo.

Despite status quo suggesting otherwise, there's no reason why companies should ever tradeoff security and usability for its employees. Been a lot of fun watching
@tonyhuie
making this into a reality!
Congrats to

@TwingateHQ
team on another exciting milestone of raising their Series B. It's been a pleasure to work with the team since day one and watch them transition network security for so many customers to a zero trust paradigm!

1. Lack of UI best practice at the time and too much tech debt to refactor things 2. Horizontal platform trying to satisfy everyone's use cases

5/ Most legacy players will eventually adopt software that empowers margin expansion and competitive pricing. Few venture-backed successes won by exclusively being the “low cost provider”.

Despite big tech getting all the attention, this is what anticompetitive actually looks like. Ag inputs is one of the most inefficient markets as a results

4/ The DTC wave didn’t play out as expected because few companies innovated on product and instead, focused primarily on distribution and margin structure. Hard to build a durable business by taking the legacy service and exclusively leveraging technology to improve margins.

2/ “Everybody thought the new B2C brands were going to be what takes down the big retail companies. I think the retail companies fought back well and B2C ended up not being quite as big and as rapid a disruption to the core business of these large retailers as we thought.”

This as always is concise and thoughtful resembling a lot of the internal tidbits he's put together over the years that have directly informed investment decisions
Scalable architectures are uncommon.
Increasing data & compute advances AI, but we shouldn't neglect architecture innovation. Small teams with novel approaches can make outsized progress (thanks to scaling laws!)

2/ The shape of the product likely has three tiers (1) requirements DB (2) project management tool (3) processing automation.

7/ LLMs can help with (1) processing of long documents to extract the requirements into the DB and (2) critical automations for report generation etc largely eliminating the need for consulting engagements

4/ The second tier propagates the set of structured requirements into a project management (think Asana esque) system to provide an up to date view of what needs to be done + enable collaboration for people across the org responsible for different checklist items.

3/ The first tier structures the set of requirements for any given compliance / licensing process (master checklist) and keeps them up to date based on regulatory changes. Different geos often have different requirements -- this by itself can be uniquely valuable in some cases.

6/ So many of these compliance processes today are manual and require working with consulting firms that are responsible for telling you what you need to do and creating the right set of outputs.
