Nick Chirls, GP at Asylum Ventures,  and Beezer Clarkson, LP at Sapphire Partners, unpack their recent conversation with Jai Das, President + Partner at Sapphire Ventures and Mike Maples, Co-Founder + Partner at Floodgate,  to answer their burning question: What changes in the way seed and growth investors think, and what stays the same? They discuss the crushing importance of team no matter the stage; the parallels in LP land (at the end of the day, you’re just backing people); the difference between small iterations on a business model vs a radical remaking of a company; and the imperfect information you get at Seed vs the luxury of canvasing an entire landscape at growth via customer calls and key metrics.  Learn more about Sapphire Partners: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sapphireventures.com/sapphire-partners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about OpenLP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://openlp.vc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about Asylum Ventures: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://asylum.vc⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about Floodgate: https://www.floodgate.com/Subscribe to the OpenLP newsletter for a monthly roundup of the latest venture insights, including the newest Origins episodes, delivered straight to your inbox.CHAPTERS:0:00-Intro & Takeaways1:20-Is This the Team That’s Going to IPO?4:02-Early Stage Pivots7:44-How Hard a Pivot is Too Hard?12:23-LP Strategy for Picking Managers13:09-The Importance of Timing15:59-You Need to Call the Customers18:05-Outro
