There were a lot of requests for us to turn our mentorship program into a physical accelerator with a fund, office space and full-time staff. Adam had a full time startup and then was doing consulting (he later raised a VC fund). Throughout 2012 & 2013 we funded many companies and then pulled together a second fund.

With small amounts of money invested (sub $3 million) the risks are reasonably low for most VCs and the consequences of bad decisions or decisions a VC has limited say in is tolerable. Mentorship. As we have invested millions in building out our sales organization efficiency really matters. As You Start to Mature.
