Why SGV?
SGV was created by startup and design wonks.
Collectively we have watched overvalued ideas, poor market timing and an inability to differentiate early winners kill venture returns.
To alleviate these “blind spots” SGV will operate with the nimbleness of a micro fund and the insider knowledge of an incubator.
Why SGV Now?
The market has timed itself.
Valuations have dropped roughly 2/3 on early growth stage companies. In addition, bridge rounds in market validated but overvalued startups, have opened opportunities for smaller check sizes in latter fundraising stages.
“Fund size is your strategy” is no longer true but the Power Law is.
The SGV Coaching Advantage
Being in the locker room counts.
With a hybrid incubator approach, we will be deeply aware of the business, warts and all; not just the quarterly board minutes and downside budgets, but the cultural dynamics within the team.
Our halftime bets will be focused on team rapport and leadership as a key function of scaling efficiently.
