Fortune’s Allie Garfinkle explores the connection between whaling ventures in the 1800s and modern venture capital practices. Principles of risk-taking, innovation, and strategic investment practiced in the 1800s continue to drive the industry today. 🐋 Tom Nicholas’s book, VC: An American History, identifies whaling, as a high-risk and high-reward job, which was made difficult because Pods of whales were scarce and hard to find. Although, if a sailor were to succeed, they’d get a huge incentive bonus. 💰 Acting as a modern-day VC, Charles W. Morgan was responsible for financing and organizing long-term whaling ventures. Morgan tracked who was succeeding and what the best hunting grounds were at any given time to educate his investments. Read more about this comparison between 1800s whaling ventures and our modern day VC practices below.

The relationship between early-stage investors and founders is a partnership – and terms play a significant role in setting this foundation. For example, when we first met with the Nutanix founders, our focus was on being flexible and providing them with what they needed. Other investors had expressed interest in investing significantly more capital from the get go, but in turn, expected broader control. The final installment of our “Startup Growth Toolkit“ shares advice for navigating deal terms including: - Valuation - Liquidation preference - Veto rights - Board structure - Vesting schedule Check out the full article to learn more. https://lnkd.in/eqjTxj-T
