Interim CFO I Startups I Emprendedor l Inversor de small caps I

[Borja Perez Ⓜ️ @borjaperfra]

Se ha puesto muy de moda entre las empresas de producto de SF el término “agency”. Todo el mundo habla de “hire for agency”.
¿Qué es eso? ¿Qué significa?

Voy a intentar explicarlo. Va mi primer hilo semanal sobre temas de hiring 🧵

RevenueCat’s Series C:

-Valuation: $500M
-$ Raised: $30M primary, $20M secondary
-ARR: ~$30M (75% YoY growth)
-Cash Burn: $0 (slightly profitable)
-ARR Multiple: ~16x

And this is after just barely rejecting a $500M acquisition offer.

Incredible. And just getting started

One common trait I’ve noticed among top operators is urgency.

How fast you can go from idea to execution determines how successful you’ll be.

Os juro que la teoría de cuantificar un mercada no es exacta.

Es subjetiva. Y me da igual lo que me digáis.

Sam Altman on the biggest mistake startup CEOs make when scaling a company

“When you’re a Seed or Series A company, you spend a huge amount of effort recruiting, but almost no effort retaining talent — and that is [the right strategy] at the beginning. But if you don’t shift to viewing retaining talent as much of your job as recruiting talent, you eventually have some level of a disaster on your hands.”

Sam recalls Mark Zuckerberg speaking at Y Combinator and saying he only hires people he’d report to if the roles were reversed. Sam reflects on this:

“If you’re hiring people that are that good — which you should be doing — they have as many opportunities as you do… And so if you don’t make the role good enough that you yourself would stay in it, then you have a hard time retaining your best people for a long period of time.”

Sam gives three pieces of tactical advice for CEOs who want to retain their best people:

1. Spend one-on-one time with your best people

“The thing that your best 5-10 people crave the most is time with you, the CEO. And that is something that as people get busier, they spend less and less time on. Some of the best CEOs in our portfolio, every month they will take out for a one-on-one dinner or drinks or something each of their best 10 people. This is a huge time commitment. If you think about it, you only get 30 dinner slots in a month. It’s a really big thing to do. But I think it actually works because that is the thing these people really crave… They want you to ask them what you think they should be doing and listen to them and have a personal connection. That’s super important.”

2. Continually give them more responsibility

“I think if you stop giving people more responsibility, they will eventually leave. If they get to take on new tasks every year or additional tasks every year, they’re happier.”

3. Proactively re-up their compensation

“I think most founders are very bad about proactively re-upping — to the level that they should — their top 5-10 lieutenants.”

España ha caído al puesto 40/67 en Ranking de Competitividad Mundial. Su peor posición en 10 años.

Más de 50.000 pymes cerraron los primeros 8 meses de 2024.
70.000 autónomos menos.

El 48.7% de los españoles tiene problemas para llegar a final de mes.

No entiendo a emprendedores q NO tienen CFO ni part time. Si la empresa sale mal pq no había mercado es aceptable, pero no es aceptable una mala gestión (caja, impuestos, reporting, fiscal). Además la responsabilidad legal recae en el administrador, q ganas de asumir un riesgo q NO te toca!

Hace 10 años me ayudaron a aterrizar en Silicon Valley.

Hoy, buscamos 8 jóvenes que tengan hambre de construir el futuro. El objetivo es sencillo: generar futuros fundadores para el ecosistema Tech español.

Si tu sueño es trabajar en Silicon Valley, esto es para ti.

Buscamos a los mejores ingenieros de software en el inicio de sus carreras para ofrecerles la oportunidad de construir en algunas de las startups más punteras de Silicon Valley y Nueva York (e.g. krea. ai, StackAI, Freepik o Happyrobot).

Nuestra tesis es que poniendo a personas extraordinarias en entornos extraordinarios, podemos acelerar su trayectoria para que construyan compañías extraordinarias.

Si te ha venido alguien a la cabeza, por favor deja su nombre (tag) en comentarios!

@Ramon10 está la estadistica de cuánto de ese dinero se ha desembolsado/invertido?
Sería interesante para conocer la necesidad de invertilo

@blader We agree to disagree. I like to have a founder run me thru a model and yes, the thinking behind the inputs. I’m not spending my weekends crunching numbers at pre seed but I do want to feel confident that the founder has a sense of the levers. Helps them not run out of money too!
