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%). I know I can’t be in every deal and I know that the easy part of being a VC is writing the first check in a deal. You need to be very present in these periods of time.

I remember the Demo Day in 2007 where DropBox presented to about 30 Boston area Angels and Venture Capital investors. None of the local VC firms invested. Classic VC funding is a well-understood model.

The company says it plans to use the funds to speed up customer acquisition in its present markets. Fawry was launched in 2007, but didn’t become a billion-dollar company until 2020, a year after going public. Flutterwave wants to become a global payments company, and the Series C investment helps to reach that goal.

The VC market has right-sized (returned back to mid 90′s levels & less competition). But it still takes VC to scale a business (thus large capital into industry winners like Uber, Airbnb, SnapChat, etc). It doesn’t take a huge leap to see how well the VC industry is positioned for the immediate future.
