Good strategy = good alignment What alignment looks like for venture backed: • Raise VC • On a big idea that could be $1+ billion outcome • Team is motivated to build something big (not by lifestyle) • Performance culture of hard, hard work If any one of the components is out of alignment you'll have conflict.

My first angel investment went to zero in a few years. It was a company in an industry I didn’t know, a country I didn’t live in, one person I knew but not the rest of the team, didn’t comprehend the plan, the execution, and most importantly, not aware of when things weren’t going well. But it didn’t stop me from continuing to invest. It started my curiosity and discovery of ways to be better, build a structure and a team, and how to build a firm that took those unknowns into opportunities. It's one of my “whys” of being in venture capital. Don’t let a bad experience stop you, but it may be a reason to dig deeper 🙏🏽 #venturecapital #investing #leadership

For a long time, capital was easily available and inexpensive. It was easy for companies to get money from venture capital firms – even if they weren’t profitable. Funding decisions were based on growth plans or growth goals. Today, the name of the game is capital-efficient growth. Profitability is front and center, with the goal being to show profitability at every stage, using positive margin to fuel further growth. This means that many companies need to evolve to be successful, and excellent go-to-market execution is key to success. Our clients rely on Sunrise Rev’s expertise and leadership to build a high-performance go-to-market engine while also optimizing cost. Reach out to learn more about how we can support your company. #chiefrevenueofficer #gotomarket #growth

💡 Perspective Shift 💡 One of the biggest lessons I’m currently learning is that *owning 3% of something* is far better than *owning 100% of nothing.* Too often, we hold back from investing because we want to retain full control. But in reality, meaningful progress and growth come when we are willing to be part of something bigger than ourselves, even if it means sharing a smaller piece of the pie. Whether it's in business ventures, partnerships, or investments, sometimes a small stake in a successful and growing venture holds far greater value than complete ownership of an idea or project that never takes off. The power of collaboration and the value of seizing opportunities are lessons that I’m embracing on this journey. #GrowthMindset #LessonsLearned

The Quiet Strength of Venture Capital 🌱 In venture capital, success often happens in the background. It’s not always about the big announcements or flashy headlines. More often, it’s in the quiet but pivotal moments—helping a founder refine their pitch, navigating a tough pivot, or lending guidance when the road gets rocky. These moments, though less visible, are where real value is created. They build trust, strengthen teams, and lay the foundation for long-term success. Being in the trenches with founders—sharing their challenges and celebrating their wins—is a privilege. It reminds us that venture capital isn’t just about funding ideas; it’s about enabling resilience, sparking growth, and creating impact that lasts. 💬 What’s a behind-the-scenes moment that shaped your journey? Let’s reflect and share insights. NEXT176 #VentureCapital #Founders #Resilience #TechLeadership #Impact

Corporate venture-building initiatives nearly doubled in 2023, with budgets increasing to 15% of operating expenses for the previous year. Achieving transformational growth requires moving beyond legacy approaches and adopting a venture mindset. Mastering the mix of corporate strengths with the speed and flexibility of VC can turn these ventures into major growth drivers and secure a competitive edge. https://lnkd.in/gTPpT_Di #Innovation #Growth
