Paul Graham’s “Founder Mode” post has swept through the startup world like a tornado and has become an instant classic. The reason it resonated so deeply with founders is that anyone who’s ever tried to scale a company carries deep scars from all those VP hires that didn’t work out. The chaos left behind, the cleanup, the quarters (sometimes years) lost ... Recruiting people who can do the job better than a founder is extremely hard. Having started the company from scratch, spoken to hundreds of prospects early on, and been involved in every little decision early on, founders know so much more about the company’s product, mission and customers that even best executives can’t compete. What’s more, no hire will ever be as committed or work as hard as a founder. PG argues that founders are uniquely positioned to drive a company’s success by staying hands-on, even as it grows. Indeed, if we look at our portfolio, with very few exceptions, the most successful companies are those still driven by their founders 10 years after the start. And yet, the take-away from PG’s post can’t be that founders should keep doing everything themselves. I don’t believe PG intends this to be the take-away (see his footnotes), but my concern is that many people will draw the wrong conclusion. To build a large company, you have to assemble an amazing team and hire leaders that you can trust with large amounts of responsibility. I’m not saying founders should ever completely remove themselves from Sales or Product, but they can’t micromanage every department either. So how do you find that balance? I’ve been discussing the topic with Michael Wolfe in the last few days, and he just published a great post based on his 30 years of startup experience. In our view, Founder Mode means: - Knowing where to dive deep and where to step back - Spending time with the right people and projects and letting others run on their own - Learning how to manage people and projects tightly but in a way that builds trust instead of eroding it - Accepting the risk of failure but not accepting sloppiness and low quality What do you think?

🚀 Exciting News: Reonic just raised their Series A! We’re thrilled to announce our last year’s investment in Reonic and participation in their Series A. Reonic’s end-to-end software platform helps small and mid-sized renewable energy installers grow faster and more efficiently. The growth in renewables has lead to the emergence of a new industry of small and mid-sized renewable energy tech installation companies. There are 10s if not 100s of thousands of these companies in Europe alone. This new industry requires new tools to run smoothly. We’re proud to support Tristan Menzinger, Lars-Manuel Schneider, Udo Sill, and the entire Reonic team as they expand across Europe, helping drive the transition to sustainable energy. Congratulations—we're excited to be on this journey with you!

📝 New Post After last night's debate in the US and the upcoming elections in France, it's probably difficult to think about anything other than the evolution of the political landscape these days. But if you do or feel like taking a break, Alexandre and I have done some work on i) Mapping the European Vertical SaaS ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/edvK4Dxa ii) Writing an article with some of our most recent learnings investing in and working with Vertical Software businesses: https://lnkd.in/eeG9eB3M We hope this sparks some interest - looking forward to continuing this work/conversation. Don't hesitate to write to us at [email protected] if we missed you on the map. The ecosystem is so big by now that we have necessarily missed a bunch. Thanks to all the people who helped build the database!
