Jeff Rosenthal and Abhijoy Mitra of CIV share valuable insights on successful investment strategies in venture capital. They emphasize the importance of capital efficiency and targeting large markets to ensure profitability. The duo stresses that the current investment landscape demands higher standards, as exit opportunities become limited. Their experience indicates that entrepreneurs must focus on sustainable growth, choosing the right partners and building products with customer needs in mind to improve long-term success rates.
"There are not 100 outlier founders and companies every year to bet on; there are a dozen." - Jeff Rosenthal, emphasizing the need for selective investments.
"You don’t have infinite venture capital. You need to be very efficient on dollars you raise and focus on building a profitable product." - Abhijoy Mitra, on capital efficiency.
"As a venture investor, we think about that constantly... you probably need half a billion of revenue and maybe the profitability to actually go public." - Abhijoy Mitra.
"Founders who build their companies with customers in mind will likely be more successful than those who build for investors." - Abhijoy Mitra.
