This is great information for anyone running a startup. Whether venture-funded, PE-backed, or bootstrapped, understanding these metrics will help you track the right metrics and build for success.
I remember you guys mentioning a story on the pod where a guy bought a bunch of cheap common secondary shares because upon IPO the shares are all treated the same. My thesis then for a fund would be to buy a bunch of super cheap common secondaries from companies whose founders/employees believe they’ve been crammed down and want to exit for at least .40 on the dollar. One of those may actually pop off and make the fund? 🤷 Cram Fund I LLC
Curious about an interim position, not VC and not PE but growth equity investors. I am seeing aggressive interest with metrics in between the good and great categories from growth equity investors that do not require profitability like PE or >100% growth like top tier VCs.

This was a such a useful discussion, i've listened through 3x 🙌
I'd love to hear a similar sort of discussion for early stage start ups at pre-seed.
Thanks to David and the Craft team for this info - I appreciate you sharing your wisdom!
Great insights into PE vs VC and how to think about burning vs conserving in a downturn environment. Came here from the All In podcast.
