2007 disruption venture capital 
Both Sides of the Table
SEPTEMBER 27, 2010
There are real changes in the venture capital industry and it would have been fun to talk about them. At GRP we sat out 2007 and much of 2008 for that reason and we’re now looking pretty smart for doing so. Answer: Not much. And that was evident on today’s Angel vs. VC panel. It’s a shame.

I was having dinner with a friend last night and we were chatting about venture capital and a bit about what I’ve learned. I started in 2007 with a thesis that my primary investment decision would be about the team (70%) and only afterward about the market opportunity (30%). And there’s conferences. Web Summit.

I recently sat down with Troy Carter to talk about what he does and why he believes it is applicable to venture capital.

I know that most people who are close to them tend to deny their existence, as we saw in the great housing bubble of 2002-2007 and the dot com bubble of 1997-2000.

When I first got into the industry it was 2007. I started showing my partners more deals that I found interesting and doing loads of analysis on the future of markets I thought were ripe for disruption. I have always believed that TV was ripe for disruption. Venture capital is an industry best served up from 7-year aged casks.

They have marked-up paper gains propped up by an over excited venture capital market that has validated their investments. I saw VCs doing crazy things in 2007-08 when I first entered the VC market – crazy prices, limited due diligence, large funding rounds. I avoided much of this.

Historically, venture investing right after major market downturns – such as after the Internet bubble burst in 2000-2002, and after the financial crisis of 2007-2009 — has proved lucrative because you’re buying at a discount. That’s a very good entry point for new venture investors. Director of Operations for Rewire (Israel).
