Villi Iltchev is the founder of Category Ventures, where he invests early in enterprise software startups. And he's done it longer than almost anyone, building Salesforce's corporate venture arm and investing early in companies like Airtable, Zapier, GitLab, Remote, Hubspot, Gusto, and Box. Fresh off raising his $160m Fund 1, we get into the opportunity he saw to start Category, and how San Francisco and Silicon Valley have changed over the past 30 years. He also shares his story growing up as an illegal immigrant in Greece, moving to the US by himself in high school, the biggest mistake of his career, advice for founders selling their company, why unit economics and profitability always matters, how developer tools went from terrible to amazing businesses, the mistake that almost killed GitLab after he invested, and why you should raise your seed round from a seed fund.

I'm thrilled to have John Swallow, CEO of Idaho Strategic, back on the podcast. John has been one of my favorite guests over the years. He's built Idaho Strategic $IDR from a near-bankrupt entity to a $160M+ company today (as of this podcast). I first had John on the podcast last February. Things were a lot different then. Gold is much higher now. IDR is profitable. They have no net debt. But John isn't satisfied. He's building a real company. One that will last for decades after he's gone. This is the story on how he plans to do that, what makes IDR unique, and why building a business by starting small still makes sense. Finally, a big thanks to our sponsors for making this episode happen. Mitimco This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT. Each year, MITIMCo invests in a handful of new emerging managers who it believes can earn exceptional long-term returns in support of MIT's mission. To help the emerging manager community more broadly, they created emergingmanagers.org, a website for emerging manager stockpickers. I highly recommend the site for those looking to start a stock-picking fund or just learning about how others have done it. You'll find essays and interviews by successful emerging managers, service providers used by MIT's own managers, essays MITIMCo has written for emerging managers, and more!

Send us a Text Message.E128: The story of Ozy Media is one of greed, betrayal, grift and astonishing hubris. But not the first nor the last such occurrence. While not on the scale of Theranos or FTX, it was not for lack of trying. David details the 10 year saga of Ozy Media's rise and spectacular fall, culminating with criminal convictions on federal charges of fraud, conspiracy and identity theft. Ozy raised a total of $83M over 5 investment rounds and 2 venture debt rounds. At it valuation peak, Ozy was valued at about $160M. David provides 4 takeaways that summarize the issues and how they might have been avoided or confronted at a much earlier point in the timeline. Listeners may take solace in a Wall Street Journal article published on July 19, 2024 (The Man in Silicon Valley Who's Completely Obsessed With Failure) about startup failures memorialized. It's a disturbingly long list yet quite informative. It reminds us that individual investors and big VCs alike are all vulnerable to the ‘Fake It ‘Till You Make It' ethos and as the stewards of capital, we must do better.
