Brett Renzenbrink Scott Jacobs Tyler Mantel Ryan Retcher Patrick Henshaw Sue Bevan Baggott Some highlights from the panel Funding AI powered startups Midwestern companies that overlook raising capital in the Midwest are overlooking opportunities We’re in a valuation reset period, and what happens on the coasts is invest across the board and see what sticks, whereas investors in the Midwest are a bit more conservative and wait for the excitement to burn off before investing 20% of the nations GDP is generated in the Midwest but only about 3% of venture comes from the Midwest… something is off there Focus on solution <> market fit more than product market fit One of the most powerful things we have in the Midwest is an abundance of midmarket companies that are easier to get We’re seeing valuations at 4-7x times revenue in the market right now #cincyAIweek

Are you a CPG #startup? Catch my interview with Dayton Miller of BFG Partners, a VC fund that invests in "better for you" consumer products. We cover a lot of ground in this podcast, including: +how founders can build relationships with investors +what does your startup's metrics need to look like to attract VC +typical expansion paths for CPG companies (e.g. D2C --> specialty retail --> mass retail --> club etc) as well as: +tips for emerging VC managers on raising their first fund (as well as how things change for funds #2 and #3) +how to be thoughtful and differentiated with your fund's thesis +what you need in your pitch materials package and more. BFG most recently raised $125 million for fund number 3 to back healthy food and beverage startups such as prebiotic soda OLIPOP PBC and cauliflower pizza crust maker CAULIPOWER. The firm invests from seed to series B with check sizes varying between $3 million and $5 million. Its previous two funds were $54 million and $108 million, respectively. Check it out, like and share :) Danke, Nathan

Should you sell your practice to a VC-Backed MSO Startup? tldr: - new VC-backed startups are forming MSOs to roll up independent practices - The pitch is physicians receive early liquidity from the roll up and are granted ESOP shares that can be used for retirement - Problem is the use of ESOPs with independent practices is not a new concept and has been used with large group practices since the 70's - ESOPs do not grant full ownership and in order for the shares to be valuable for retirement, the practice needs to run the same if not better post roll up - With VC-backed startups being primarily operated by non-physicians with zero clinical or medical practice experience, the likelihood of this happening is extremely low making the entire concept high risk However, there is a viable path for continued ownership + liquidity for independent practices.

Great article from PitchBook on why domain expertise amongst VCs matters. TL;DR -- in verticals like healthcare, having investors with high amount of domain expertise can result in up to 40% higher odds of achieving an IPO, 20% higher chance of being acquired and 30% higher chance of an overall successful exit. Importantly, the marginal value of having investors with domain expertise varies by sector and stage, and is not uniform, so your mileage may vary, and generalist investors still have a very important role to play in the venture ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/dXpi8gzm Curious to hear from founders: Do you have examples of seeing specialist investors be helpful in unique ways that you can share? Or alternatively, do you have an experience with a generalist investor who has been more helpful than the specialists?
