Venture Patterns catalogs the best of what other startups and venture capitalists have figured out. There are recurring patterns in how to build and run startups and funds, we can all learn from what others have done and then innovate on top. By naming and sharing these mental models, we can think and communicate more effectively and build better companies and funds.
So far I’ve published deep dives on two company-side patterns: The Freemium Business Model and Bottom-Up Sales. I hope you’ve seen them and please do share your feedback.
Today, I wanted to share that I’ve published 30+ more short posts on recurring patterns used by VCs. For example, patterns in portfolio construction and in portfolio management.
