Today's guest is Neil Mehta, founder of Greenoaks Capital. In 2012, aged 27, Neil left D.E. Shaw to start Greenoaks with his friend Benny Peretz. One of their first investments was in Coupang, a South Korean e-commerce company led by founder Bom Kim. Neil was so convinced of Coupang's potential that he invested 40% of their initial $50 million fund into the company—a bet that eventually returned about $8 billion. Over its first 13 years, Greenoaks has backed legendary companies like Figma, Wiz, Carvana, Stripe, Discord, Rippling, and Toast—generating over $13 billion in gross profits with a 33% net IRR. Henry Kravis, one of Neil's early investors, describes him as "extremely disciplined" with "exceptional timing" who has "gone against the tide many times." Greenoaks operates with remarkable concentration: just 55 core companies across nearly $15 billion in assets, managed by only nine investment professionals. Their approach reflects their singular pursuit: finding companies that will become a meaningful part of the S&P 500. In our wide-ranging conversation, Neil shares this mission along with his framework for identifying exceptional founders, his concept of "jaw-dropping customer experiences," and how his grandfather's gun shop in India shaped his appreciation for builders of all kinds.

Fresh off the heels of a $50M Series C round last November, StarkWare Industries closed a $100M Series D round on Wednesday, giving the Israeli-based startup a valuation of $8 billion. The fundraise was led by Greenoaks Capital and Coatue, and included Tiger Global amongst others. StarkWare aims to bring efficient, affordable blockchain transactions to the masses through its ZK-rollup technology, which addresses blockchain congestion by compressing multiple transactions into ‘STARK proofs' that are then passed on to the underlying blockchain. In this episode of The Scoop, StarkWare co-founders Eli Ben-Sasson and Uri Kolodny sit down with host Frank Chaparro to discuss what their firm has been building, and how their technology will allow blockchains to scale. According to Kolodny, the trustless computational integrity enabled by StarkWare technology will be very useful to society: “It delivers something that is dearly missing and dearly needed in modern societies and the way they're doing their computation. That is something very simple: it is integrity — the ability to know that something was done the right way, even when you weren't watching.” Despite bearish sentiment across markets, StarkWare's recent fundraise shows VCs are excited about the opportunities unlocked through StarkWare's scaling technology, and are willing to continue providing the developer with capital. StarkWare's two products, StarkEx and StarkNet, both serve as Ethereum scaling solutions, with the former being "scaling as a service," while the latter is permissionless. StarkNet completed its launch earlier this year, allowing any developer to integrate the platform into their application. ...

Timestamps: [3:20] Tell us more about your journey: you have founded Casavo and studied globally. You've worked at one of the leading consultancies, Boston Consulting Group on digital transformation. Where did your passion for residential tech come from? I grew up in a small village close to Florence with a family of small entrepreneurs. My passion for real estate and entrepreneurship came from my dad.    During my studies abroad I met several startups and I joined some of them as an intern.   After my studies, I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur but I hadn't found that big opportunity yet so after working for 3 years in consulting, I was looking at what was happening in the residential markets globally and in Europe and there hadn't been a lot of innovation over the last 10 years so I decided to found Casavo.  I had a passion for the intersection between the real estate world and the technology world.  [5:15] Fausto, you started out in the marketing world and have now moved over to product as the CPO. Can you tell us a little about the product as well as how you made that transition and if you have any tips for people looking to make that transition? Before joining Casavo, I had a career in product and it had been mainly in travel.  A few months after Casavo launched, Giorgio was looking for someone in marketing and I had a bit of experience in that so I decided to start at Casavo in marketing. After 2 years, it was time for serious and important investment in technology so I moved over.  Coming from marketing, I had a lot of understanding of some dynamics and that would have been harder to get if I was just a product person.  What we offer to the markets is the ability to receive a purchase offer on their property without any kind of human interactions.  [7:40] Who was your first major client that you brought on board? It's a consumer platform, not a B2B platform. We really understood that in Europe, it's a sellers' market so there is no presentation, everything starts from the seller. We started with a very strong and disruptive value proposition in order to solve the issue of a very lengthy, inefficient, and inconvenient traditional selling process.  We did so by changing the paradigm; proposing ourselves to buy the home directly in a matter of days, instead of going through the whole process. Our first clients were the first family who sold us their apartment in Milan. [9:25] Let's talk about your series C, you raised €200 million led by Exor Seeds. You also have some other good investors including 360 Capital, Picus Capital and Greenoaks Capital. What were some of the major challenges when you looked to raise and how did you go about it?  There were three key challenges;  Digitalisation in real estate is really green. The number of investors that were willing to be the first one betting on that category were few.  We started with a very asset-heavy model that requires a certain level of understanding of the balance sheet dynamics and the residential dynamics in order to not be skirted by volatility.   We are a leading technology company in Italy, but the ecosystem is pretty underdeveloped if you compare it to other markets.  It always starts with the team and with a clear vision and executing that vision well. [12:10] Why was the product so successful in Italy? You have expanded to Spain, what are the differences in what the buyers and sellers want?  Do you have to change your marketing technique from country to country?  We are the first movers with the AVM (automated valuation for models) so we were the first ones in Italy to provide free, online real-time valuations of residential properties. We added to that a very strong value proposition, which was you as a sender can sell immediately to us and you don't have to look for a buyer.  The residential stock in Italy is generally quite old and we propose to customers renovated, nice looking apartments.  There are some differences but what we want to do is to build a European platform, a single platform in terms of product but of course, there are some local nuances both in terms of product development and in terms of marketing.  [16:35] How long does it take to buy a property in Italy?  In terms of selling a property in the large, metropolitan cities in Italy, the time needed is around six months. More or less the same applies to Southern Europe in general.    [18:30] Do you have some exciting news to share with us about a potential launch into a different market? We have just launched in our third country, Portugal.  We started our internationalisation journey in the beginning of 2020 in Spain.    [19:40] How have you managed to grow your headcount over 300 people and what are your cultural values?  It was a hyper-growth journey and it still is.   My personal mission from the beginning was to be able to have an impact on the market, be the category-defining business, but with a strong team and building really a talent hub within our markets, all sharing the same vision from the very beginning and being focused on executing on that vision.  I was always keen on investing in human capital before technology and business. When you are growing at the speed of light, launching new products, new markets, you cannot afford processes. You have to trust people, you have to empower your team and let them do what they think is the best for the company. We have our list of values and we live and breathe them in every way:  Focus on customers: our customers come first and we want to create long-term value for them.  Share the drive to innovate   Learn to adapt: continuous, direct, upfront feedback  [23:15] Is there any advice you would give to an aspiring entrepreneur?  Just jump and do it - if you start to analyse everything and overthink it, it's not going to work. Be optimistic - turn challenges into opportunities [25:15] What's next for the Casavo products? Are you planning or developing any new technologies? There are a lot of existing technologies that should be applied to old problems. The challenge is to be able to make portfolio-based decisions and market-based decisions for our investments, rather than transaction-based ones and we have to keep in mind changing consumer preferences that will affect the price properties.  [28:40] The ‘LMRE' part, Louisa asks the guests to talk about:   Lessons learned in your career   Change and self-development are very important.    Mention a person, product or service   A company in the FinTech industry called Scallop.    Rewarding parts of working in the space:    To start with no understanding of this industry, which is very complex with a lot of incumbent players, very traditional. Thinking about how to solve problems for our customers within this industry with an out-of-the-box and naive approach.   What are you most Excited about for the future of the space?:     The next three to five years will lead to a substantial change in the real estate market and we have the opportunity to be at the forefront of this change.

Casavo è una startup di grande successo che sta rivoluzionando il mercato immobiliare italiano. L'obiettivo della società è quello di semplificare il più possibile l'operazione di vendita attraverso il modello dell'Instant Buying, che Giorgio ci spiegherà' tra un minuto. Casavo è una startup che ha bisogno di molti fondi e infatti complessivamente, in circa due anni di vita, ha raccolto 100 milioni di euro, di cui circa 30 milioni in equity e 70 milioni in debito. Il loro ultimo round di finanziamento da 20 milioni di equity e stato guidato dal venture capital americano Greenoaks Capital.Giorgio si è laureato dalla Bocconi e ha deciso di buttarsi e fondare Casavo giovanissimo, dopo aver lavorato solo poco più di un anno da BCG, una grande società di consulenza. Nella nostra intervista abbiamo cercato di capire da dove viene questo suo spirito imprenditoriale, come ha approcciato gli incontri con investitori per convincerli a dargli i soldi per iniziare a comprare i primi immobili, e come gestisce la pressione di essere a capo di una società a meno di 30 anni. Abbiamo anche voluto esplorare con lui un suo pensiero, quello dell “ambizione ingenua” - ossia che i giovani dovrebbero cercare di spingere il pensiero oltre quello che sembra possibile e non farsi condizionare di chi pensa in modi “tradizionali”. https://casavo.com/
