My goal with VCs is not capital. Instead, my goal is to get us to a technology DD. Let's dive into the rabbit hole so we can REALLY show you how deep the rabbit hole is. Our technology is different. How different? On its way to getting patented "different." But it is hard to convey something like this via a deck or a casual introduction call. It is complex, and you will get lost unless you have a PhD in the field or a ton of experience. If you're a VC reading this post and want to jump on a call so we can dive deep into the rabbit hole, I am one DM away from your next best investment (your LPs will thank you). Ok, back to building "Edith." 

How can GPs use technology to help portfolio companies reach higher benchmarks in subsequent fundraises? Looking at the Seed market, increased capital inflows have driven historically high valuations, creating heightened expectations when companies re-enter the market for capital. Higher valuations entail much more ambitious targets around ARR, customer growth, gross margins, etc. Further, this only snowballs with exit prospects in a slump – companies must achieve more to go public or become attractive acquisition targets. As a result, investors are only backing companies they believe can achieve substantial exits, raising the stakes even higher. As these Seed companies navigate more demanding terrain to Series A, providing value across GTM, talent acquisition, and more to help companies achieve critical KPIs and milestones will become increasingly paramount. Technology can play a crucial role for VCs regardless of if they have platform teams: a sound value creation plan starts with understanding where to prioritize. A centralized, single source of truth provides the portfolio-level view necessary to assess whether companies are on track to meet more demanding benchmarks.
