Risks to manage: 1. Strategics less likely to follow on if you need additional capital 2. Presence of strategics can sometimes complicate partnerships/sales to their competitors 3. When they do go active, vs passive, their interests are often not aligned w cap table/founders
Growth stage startups will keep fundraising from other companies like Stripe because: 1. Corp dev teams don’t have LPs & not focused on billion dollar outcomes 2. Strategics are generous with terms because they’re not trying to return funds 3. Board pressures different w VCs

#1 is so important for exit and outcome with founders. A direct line of communication and relationship with Corp dev early on is huge.

Stripe is just getting started. Everyone should boot strap their idea to profitability and then VCs and Stripe and alike should pour money on them to accelerate. I’m on my second Stripe advance now and it’s been a blessing

They probably raised a separate fund for investing in startups instead of using VC money. Like what Slack did with their joint fund with A16Z.

Very true for a company looking for a big check. So many Co’s out there that want to roll equity & build better business, find new customers & enter new markets. A lot of the growth GPs in tech, software, services are almost strictly exiting to strategics instead of other PE

Yes on 2 but surely the path to a return has to be soooo much clearer
