"There’s infinite product-market fit for giving away $1 in exchange for 99 cents." – @ConnorRyan2013 from @BridgeInvestVC.

Not all growth is equal. 📉 Startups that rely on heavy discounts & ad spend may show revenue, but real traction comes from sustainable unit economics.

In an industry filled with constant publication of grand successes, I always find it grounding to meet offline with other GPs - emerging and established alike. Thank you to @Brendon_Schmidt and the whole @Sierra_Ventures team for including me in this wonderful event!

When we talk about end markets underserved by technology at @BridgeInvestVC, this is exactly what we mean. We're excited to be investing in outdoor sports and recreation with companies like Alder Apparel and AnyCreek which is featured in this article!

As part of the agenda of our Annual Meeting, @JasonTChiVC sat down with the founders of three of our portcos: @trajektory_data, @lawmatics, and @pradolocal, to talk vertical SaaS.

[Bridge Venture Fund @BridgeInvestVC]

We were thrilled to gather yesterday with an exceptional group of our Founders, LPs, and friends for our Annual Meeting and Celebration.
Thank you to those who were able to join last night and to all who make what we do possible!

Punchline: We love vertical SaaS businesses because they benefit from narrow focus in the early days, and then have opportunity to expand market size via additional service offerings as they scale.
