In this episode, host Pete Moore dives deep into the VC (venture capital) world with Kiva Dickinson, Founder of Selva Ventures. Kiva began his career in investment banking before joining TPG. He received top-notch training there and developed a keen interest in the dynamics of the consumer world, particularly in ecommerce and health and wellness. His focus shifted to earlier stage opportunities, particularly in the better-for-you products sector. Kiva shares valuable insights from his TPG and CircleUp days before launching Selva. He sheds light on the process of raising capital, evaluating investment opportunities, and the key factors that drive successful investments in early-stage companies. The conversation also delves into the "5 M's"  approach for evaluating potential investments and the strategy behind exiting investments at the right time. Regarding raising capital he states, "Identifying the company is incredibly important, but building a tight investment process both pre and post investment, not only to select the right ones, but also to support them afterwards. To have a value creation plan that ultimately helps these companies reach their potential is a huge part of private investment." Some key moments:  Transitioned from investment banking to private equity. CircleUp facilitated investments, raised their own fund. Invested in early stage companies, focusing on value. Invest in creating a strong consumer impression. Focus on value proposition, study successful brands. A few key takeaways: 1. Venture Capital Insights: Kiva provides valuable insights into the world of venture capital, including the process of raising funds and the challenges faced when evaluating potential investments. 2. "5M's" Methodology: A structured approach to evaluating investment opportunities, which includes assessing the matter (problem being solved for consumers), megatrend, management team, momentum and metrics, and market size. 3. Investment Criteria: The ideal size and makeup of a company suitable for consideration by Selva is centered around companies doing approximately $5M in the last 12 months sales and exhibiting rapid growth. 4. Mission: Kiva explained that the name "Selva" means rainforest in Spanish, representing the company's commitment to incubating and supporting ecosystems that bring about healthy solutions. The symbolism and principles behind the company's name align with its investment philosophy of seeking out truly exceptional opportunities.

Nick is a partner at Blackbird Ventures. A venture capital fund that seeks to invest in world-class founders who are setting out to make a difference in the world. Investors in Blackbird's fund include the Australian Government Future Fund, Host Plus, and Mike Cannon Brookes. Nick originally studied law and political science at UQ. After a short period of time working in the legal world he pivoted across into the world of startups. He co-founded, and was CEO of, Sessions (which used technology to help people stay healthy, and Sessions was later acquired by MyFitnessPal in December, 2013). Nick also co-founded We Are Hunted which was acquired by Twitter. Nick said he would come into contact with approximately 1000 companies a year, of which he meets face to face with around 100. He would probably consider around 10 but ultimately invests in around 2 or 3 a year. However, at the time of recording in late September he still had not made an investment this year. One thing which I wasn't aware is that he measures every minute of his day and he takes us through how he does this. As on average as he invests in 1 in every 500 companies he comes across he knows how important time management is. We discuss valuation which is always difficult, let alone investing in a startup company that's probably loss making at the time with not many true comparable comapnies. Nick describes how important a well articulated mission and vision are. However, so often they're nothing more than buzzwords which are often stuck on the wall and then forgotten about. It's important though, the mission and vision reverberates throughout the company as it attracts the best talent, which can attract investors, which can help in the process to attract customers.

Venture capital (VC) has been a highly visible part of the growth of many well-known companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Rent the Runway, 23 and Me, among many others. But, while VC has been very helpful for some entrepreneurs, the industry is focused on a small percentage of businesses with high growth potential: in fact, only 0.6 percent of businesses ever raise VC. Venture Capital is also very concentrated, out of all the venture capital spent, 78 percent is spent in three states New York, Massachusetts, and California. But as these areas become more and more saturated, venture capitalists are starting to pay attention to startups located outside traditional tech hubs.Last week, we hosted a fireside chat with two of these venture capitalists who are traveling across the country to meet with entrepreneurs, investors and key stakeholders in the startup community. Join us as we talk startups and early-stage investing with Nitin Pachisia, Founding Partner of Unshackled Ventures, a Venture Firm that recently raised its second $20M fund and is investing exclusively in immigrant founders, and Ben Bayat, Managing Partner of NextGen Venture Partners, a network-driven venture capital fund whose latest fund is $60 million dollars.

Fabian Heilemann ist einer der bekanntesten Gründer und Investoren der deutschen Startup-Szene. Zusammen mit seinem Bruder Ferry gründet er 2009 die Gutscheinplattform DailyDeal, die Google 2011 kauft - in einem spektakulären Deal für 114 Mio. US-Dollar. Heute ist Fabian Heilemann Partner bei Earlybird Venture Capital und verantwortet seit 2012 bereits 35 Early Stage Investments. Der Unternehmer spricht in dieser Folge weniger über das „Was“ er bisher geschafft hat, sondern eher über das „Wie“. Er erklärt sehr reflektiert, mit welchen Herausforderungen er in der Hyper Growth Phase bei DailyDeal konfrontiert gewesen ist, spricht über Erkenntnisse, Hebel und Mechanismen die er als Learning aus dieser Zeit mitgenommen hat und von der er heute als Investor in der Auswahl und Zusammenarbeit mit Companies profitiert. Dabei spiegelt er sehr menschlich die Hürden, die er genommen hat, sowie die Herausforderungen seiner heutigen Tätigkeit, wider. All das und viel mehr hört ihr in der Folge 25 unseres Podcast „Inside Team Building“.

Claude Ritter is one of Germany’s online entrepreneurs who can be labelled as to have been quite successful in his career so far. He co-founded online food delivery startup Lieferheld in 2010, which was later sold to the widely known Delivery Hero Group. At Delivery Hero, Claude served as CPO and was in charge of global product and engineering. Law suits, police raids and almost getting into fist fights with his rivals at other Berlin-based food delivery startups were part of that job experience - having him go through extremely tough times and fierce competition while trying to make it as a founder. Prior to his work in the online food delivery market, Claude had already been active as an entrepreneur - he started Aionics (a Swiss-based web agency) and co-founded two companies (The NetCircle, DUQI) in China where he lived for 5 years. In 2014, Claude started his latest venture: As co-founder & CPO of Book A Tiger, he is working on digitalizing the cleaning service market ever since. Besides this, he also is a Partner at Cavalry Ventures, a Berlin based (pre-)seed fund, and invests into early-stage startups as a business angel.

Diane Chime is the senior Manager for Early Stage Investments at the Ohio Development Services Agency (DSA). In her role, she directs a $37 MM venture debt portfolio and serves as the fund of Funds manager for the $247 MM Ohio Third Frontier seed and seed+ portfolios that co-invest with angel and venture funds around the state. She is DSA’s staff designee to the Ohio Venture Capital Authority, a $150 MM commitment by Ohio General Assembly to expand access to capital to startup companies. Her direct investment experience not only includes financial, business and technical due diligence, but also underwriting and structuring transactions from pre-revenue to growth and expansion stage firms. Her primary specialization includes MedTech and SaaS/ IT based platforms, but her personal interests presently are Etherium-focused. Within a three-year period, she has reviewed over 350 early stage companies and secured $50 MM of loan approvals at an average deal size of $1.2 MM. And which, to date, 99% percent of closed transactions remain active. Prior to managing DSA’s early stage initiatives, Diane managed the state of Ohio’s $1.1 billon (480+ investments) economic development loan and bond portfolios. As Operations Manager at the Ohio Treasury, she coordinated activities among operational departments that annually collect and process revenue exceeding $50 MM and invest more than $11 billion. While serving as a financial analyst at a Midwest-based investment bank, she structured notes, bonds and various other debt vehicles for sale to the public and private markets and credits her non-traditional funding models to the experience gained from the position. She has held multiple marketing and communications positions and is noted for her ability to translate difficult financial concepts into digestible media opportunities. Formally, she earned and previously held the General Representative Securities License 7 issued by the National Association of Securities Dealers, now FINRA, and is recognized by the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) as an active Certified Treasury Professional (CTP). Fundamental to the CTP designation is a foundation that resides upon the financial and regulatory knowledgebase necessary to manage a corporation’s cash operations, including daily cash flow and forecasting, and its debt and investing activities. Diane holds undergraduate degrees in Liberal Arts and Economics and a Master’s Degree from the University of Cincinnati, The Ohio State University, and Ohio Dominican University, respectively.
