OCTOBER 19, 2014

So this was definitely an introduction I was going to take. But since I have a blog and the history of my falling in love with Andrew & Petri’s vision was public and is relevant to how we make decisions I wanted a chance to tell all of their stories.

There’s no need for long-term strategy or a plan for growth because there’s no risk if your venture fails to attract clients. Being a solopreneur, by definition, means going it alone. With better knowledge of my finances and the ability to outsource administrative tasks to a VA, I was in a position to consider the big-picture strategy.

And actually if you have ADD you may just want to watch the videos I’ve embedded below because it’s easier to concentrate on that than reading a blog post. I will start from a passage from the Wikipedia definition because I think it does a great job of summarizing. Of course you should go on your own journey of discovery.

I went from having a solid strategy, a decent pipeline and a great team to execute on it to being forced to stay in my house with my wife and son, my team working remotely (with our new shiny office sitting empty), and every project we were working on being cancelled or postponed. It is not long or complicated.

Even for companies that have made great progress in diversifying their organizations, there is real risk of reverting to a former homogenous status quo, unless hiring strategies evolve. But data shows that companies with an “always be recruiting” strategy are seldom caught without a great candidate pipeline when a vacancy arises.

No matter what stage your business is at, it’s never too soon to have a scaling-up strategy in place. It can always be amended as you go, but being mindful of where your business can use an efficiency boost will always be a winning strategy. Maybe guest blogging isn’t panning out the way you thought it would.

In some ways it feels like a company that has gone partially remote—where you still get certain types of interaction on “office days” that you can’t get at home, but it’s definitely not what it was. Basically, the idea is that you take a chip and slide it down a wall, watching it bounce off of a bunch of springy little sticks on its way down.

All of this is covered in more detail on the TWiVC video above (and much of it is covered in text on this blog on the “ Raising VC &# tab). It can be a good strategy to bring just the CEO because 1-on-1 rapport is easier to build but if you have equally strong co-founders bring them. Who should attend the meeting?

The incentive to want a larger fund is real—more staff, better office, better salaries—but the investment strategy really doesn’t make much sense if you ask me. About 37% of your dollars will be in the seed rounds, and if half of them went bust, then you definitely invested more than 15% of your fund in those rounds.

The graph above shows a definite point of diminishing returns when contacting LPs, somewhere around 60–70.
