"It's really simple. If everybody thinks the same way, then everyone's going to like the same thing. And if everyone likes the same thing, the price is super high. And if the price is high, you don't make money. Our job is to make money.” Vanessa Larco took a less traditional path to her seat in venture capital, and that journey gave her the ability to see more broadly and bring a valuable perspective. We celebrate Vanessa's 1 year anniversary of being named to the investment committee at New Enterprise Associates (NEA). Her journey proves tech smarts and a strong network can make a power player VC. Read more about Vanessa and her accomplishments to date: https://lnkd.in/gHrDhwV3

Congratulations Masha Bucher and the team at Day One Ventures for the launch of their $150M fund III. We're so excited for all that you'll do and look forward to cheering on your wins 👏🏽
Today, I’m proud to announce Day One Ventures $150M fund III, bringing AUM to over $450M (from just $11M 5 years ago!). Our North Star remains the same: we will keep betting on the most exceptional founders of our time working on the biggest ideas possible. I believe technology entrepreneurs are the ones who are going to solve humanity's most pressing problems — from wealth disparities to the urgent threat of climate change to and mental health crisis — and unlock the most exciting opportunities of our times. However, the divide between technology and society remains a critical hurdle. 90% of Americans are more concerned than excited about the role of AI in daily life. 75% aren’t confident in crypto’s safety and reliability. When we launched Day One in 2018, we introduced a new model of VC by investing in early-stage startups and spearheading their comms. We’re taking this one step further — for fund III, in addition we’ll help our founders use transformative power of art and culture to bridge the widening gap between tech and society. Super proud of everything we’ve accomplished in the past six years: • Backed 8 unicorns, 22 exits including 1 IPO • Fund I reached 1x DPI within 3 years, which is 50x better than the median fund of our vintage • Our current fund’s net IRR is 48%, which is 6x higher than the median net IRR for our vintage • Portfolio companies value $115B+ in aggregate with $2B+ raised The first founders we’ve backed through fund III exemplify this ethos: Affiniti’s Aaron Bai, AstroForge’s Matthew Gialich, Rainmaker’s Augustus Doricko, Cradle’s Laura Deming, and Layer N’s Dima Romanov. Special thanks for the best founders - your hard work made it possible for me to have the best job in the world, being your partner and ally. Special thanks to Alex Blania, Adam Guild, Job van der Voort, Joshua Browder, Yahya Mokhtarzada, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Caroline Spiegel, Richard Socher, Nancy Xu, Nolan Church — in many ways you shaped the investor I am. So proud to be your partner. Our work wouldn’t have been possible without our LPs. I’m grateful for new & existing partners whom I’m excited to be in the business with for at least next 20 years. They include prominent US & European institutional investors, 10 unicorn founders, 14 of our own portfolio founders, family offices, and a few heads of private equity firms and larger funds. I’m especially proud to have 9 successful female LPs join us. Lastly, it won’t be possible without unstoppable, talented & hardworking team Jenny Chao, Drake Rehfeld, Tara Harandi-Zadeh & Hunter Higgins. Love you guys! We are actively hiring as embarking a new chapter! If you know a rockstar generalist investor, future of human+deep tech investor, experienced COO, PR/Communications leader, or EA to join our team, send them my way, email hello@dayoneventures.com or reach out to Diane Briones Marinovich. Thanks to Bloomberg’s Paayal Zaveri amazing coverage here. https://t.co/NSv7GuQd6E

Passionate evangelist for financial education, literacy, and independence. Advisory solutions and problem solving for businesses; risk management, business planning, building brand equity, capital raising and more.
Allison Byers is a trailblazer in the realm of equitable capital distribution. As the founder of Scroobious, her tech company is quickly driving innovation by removing barriers to partnership among diverse founders, investors, and service providers through scalable online education, community, and data-driven curation. Before founding Scroobious, she spearheaded a medical device startup, securing nearly $10M in funding before its acquisition, and encountered firsthand the gender bias prevalent in fundraising. With over 20 years of experience in startup and tech roles, Allison stands as a seasoned entrepreneur and a catalyst for change having co-authored California Senate Bill 54, signed into law, which requires venture funds to report diversity metrics. Her post about yet another 'manel' went kind of nuts we touched base. And one of the best ways to get the message out and fight marginalization is to have a live, interactive and engaging conversation here on Linkedin. We will discuss her business, her advocacy, her mission, and the founder community she's building. Join us on Tuesday at 10:30. Looking forward to this conversation and your thoughts, feedback, and questions.
