However, she decided to take a year off to travel and reflect on her career goals, giving her a unique perspective on navigating career paths and taking risks. Courtney believes in letting go of the idea that there is a specific path or set of boxes to check off to achieve success. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of being prepared to make the best of whatever opportunities come along and being open to alternative ways of acquiring skills. Her experiences, from starting in a traditional role at Goldman Sachs to co-founding Spring Bank, a company focused on building better childcare and making paid leave universal, have taught her the value of embracing flexibility, seizing unexpected opportunities, and adaptability.   Here is what to expect on this week's show: Learn the importance of trusting your instincts when making career decisions. Discover why you should be adaptable and willing to take calculated risks to achieve career growth. Why you should align your career decisions with societal challenges and find ways to make a positive difference. Understand how to critically evaluate advice and make decisions based on your unique circumstances. Quotes: “We have massive problems to solve. I'm talking about one of them. But we have some really big societal challenges that I'd love to see more smart people with experience, without experience, engineering, everyone working together." - Courtney Leimkuhler   “My perception was like those practical and logistical supports were actually the main barrier and the way we worked was the problem." - Courtney Leimkuhler   "I think just sort of letting go very early on of this idea that there is a path and there's a specific set of boxes you're trying to check off has proved to be very valuable to me over the rest of my career." - Courtney Leimkuhler   “Nothing is objectively bad or good. It's sort of trying to understand what is the set of experiences that is leading to this piece of advice and do I think that those sets of experiences are actually relevant to me in this circumstance." - Courtney Leimkuhler   This episode is sponsored by Medjet.

According to the National Restaurant Association, the restaurant industry's estimated sales for 2023 is $997 billion, but how many of those hard-earned dollars are at risk due to inadequate insurance coverage?So, what are the key insurance issues restaurant owners must understand to protect their investment?

Foundation Capital Foundation Capital was founded in 1995. As an early-stage venture capital firm, Foundation has lived through the emergence of the World Wide Web, the IT war of the 90s, the dot-com bubble, Web 2.0, the mobile revolution, the Great Recession, the rise of Big Data, software’s ascension to the cloud, and the birth of blockchain. The wisdom of those experiences remains with the company, transmitted to each successive generation of partners. Two-thirds of VC firms never make it past their first fund; only 10 percent survive beyond their fourth. Foundation is 25 years and nine funds strong, with over $3B in committed capital, 28 IPOs, and 80+ acquisitions to their name. Their fintech, enterprise, and consumer investments have reinvented industries and defined new markets, with companies that include Lending Club, Sunrun, TubeMogul, Chegg, and Netflix. For a quarter of a century—through boom and bust, prosperity or calamity—Foundation Capital has endured, evolved, and thrived. Building companies is in their bones.

When Rashmi Melgiri of CoverWallet has a restless night, it’s because she’s thinking about how to keep all her people aligned across multiple time zones. In this episode, Rashmi shares some unusual but successful strategies she’s implemented as the company expands across the globe.  Don’t forget to visit our blog we.co/upatnight, where you’ll find more advice and useful solutions for growing your business along with additional information about Up At Night.

Securing an insurance policy that covers your needs is one of the most important items for businesses at all stages, but it’s also one of the most arduous. That’s where CoverWallet comes in. Co-founders Rashmi Melgiri and Inaki Berenguer were looking for an industry that could benefit from moving online when they landed on insurance. Neither had worked in the industry before: both have MBAs from MIT, and Rashmi’s background is in consulting and advertising. But being the outsiders brought certain benefits. First, they could work with multiple insurance carriers to cover as many types of business insurance as possible. Second, instead of standing for the slow-rolling attitude of the established insurance carriers, they offered the instant gratification of on-demand online companies. Listen to Rashmi talk to Scott over the phone at WGN.

I would like to thank Adelle Archer ( https://theconsumervc.com/2020/05/11/adelle-archer/ ) for introducing me to today's guest, Eric Paley ( https://twitter.com/epaley ) , who is one of the Managing Partners at Founder Collective ( https://www.foundercollective.com/ ). Founder Collective's mission is to be the most aligned VC for founders at seed. Eric is a pretty legendary seed stage investor, some of his investments include Uber, CoverWallet, Seat Geek, Whoop, Thred Up and so many other incredible companies. One book that inspired Eric is Fooled By Randomness ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0812975219?camp=1789&creativeASIN=0812975219&ie=UTF8&linkCode=xm2&tag=theconsumervc-20 ) by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

For all episodes, please visit theconsumervc.com ( http://theconsumervc.com/ ). Here are some of the questions that I ask Eric - * Now you have pre-seed and other emerging stages at the early stages, what's your definition of seed? * Why did you choose to create a seed fund originally? * Why are platforms so popular with VCs and how do you think about different types of businesses (platform, product)? * What's some advice for a startup that is building a vertical product, since VCs typically want to see platforms that have large TAMs? * You mention in a piece you wrote for Techcrunch - “products and platforms are mutually exclusive at early-stage startups. It is nearly impossible to offer a high-quality use case while also being a platform”. What do you actually mean by that? * It seems like the size of a market is often quite different amongst founders and investors (i.e. founder might think the market size is $30 billion, investor believes it's $1 billion). * What are some of the mistakes when thinking about how big a market is? * How should founders think about TAM and market size if they are building a new market? If it's a blue ocean opportunity? * I wanted to talk about COVID, which I'm sure is very top of mind. A couple of other investors I had on say that they are more worried about companies that are trying to raise their series A rather than seed round during these times. * What has been some of the changes in seed over these past few months in relation to * Valuation * Traction/milestones achieved for investment * Shift in attractive vs. mediocre markets * Is it harder to find conviction in a ounder when you meet with the person remotely rather than in person? * How has your team adjusted to remote work as well as your portfolio companies? * What makes a market attractive to invest in? * When you were a founder, you've mentioned how there were VCs that didn't think your technology would work (so they didn't invest) and they were right. This ended up in a pivot. However, for those that did invest, they were extremely happy with their returns from the 3M acquisition and ultimately were successful in providing value by pivoting. It seems as though what made you successful was your obsession with the problem rather than your initial solution. * When analyzing founding teams, how do you know that they are fixated on the problem? * Have you ever invested in companies where you were unconvinced with what they were building (their solution), but had such conviction in the team and how they thought about the problem they were addressing? * Great market * How do you analyze founding teams? * (I remember Joe said you invest in founders that are All Over It, but what does that mean to you?) * I know you've talked alot about the pitfalls of over-fundraising. When you are at the seed stage, is this a conversation that you have with founders when you are thinking about investing? * When pitching, what are some of the most common mistakes that founders might make? * I wanted to talk about Go-to Market strategy and distribution, which is as important as product. How should founders think about a unique distribution strategy? * Is there a difference when evaluating a B2C company vs. a B2B business at seed? * I know you've spoken a bunch on the topic of pro-rata and how pro-rata doesn't help entrepreneurs. How real is signaling? I know lots of investors have said on this show founders need to do their own diligence on investors, should that diligence start with how investors approach executing pro-rata rights? * What are consumer trends are areas that you are currently focused on? * One piece of advice for B2C founders?
