acquisition strategy

Jason’s argument that acquirers buy time

Extracto original

Jason’s general point: acquirers buy time, not just revenue or customers. That’s essential for venture to work, because it’s the only way A-minus and B-plus assets get bought. Rory flagged the board drama: the founder had stepped back, a hired CEO turned the business around, then the chairman replaced him and investors pushed back. The UK-style non-exec chairman model makes sense for mature public companies and none for venture-backed ones. When you have that much instability and someone offers to buy you, you hit the bid.

seed fund sizing

How larger seed rounds change Jason’s assessment of fund size

Extracto original

Jason’s read on Bessemer: it’s the same lesson Benchmark learned. Bessemer’s growth team scaled up and won. And if a seed round is now $30 million, a $1.75 billion seed fund with reserves isn’t large. Even $1 billion starts to sound small.
