Tom Loverro is a Partner @ IVP where he has led or was actively involved in investments in Amplitude, Coinbase, Hashicorp and Datadog to name a few. As a result of his investing success, Tom was named to Forbes Midas List in 2021. Prior to joining IVP, Tom was a Principal at RRE Ventures. In Today's Episode with Tom Loverro We Discuss: 1.) The Entry into Venture: • How did Tom make his way into venture first with RRE? How did the role with IVP come about? • Does Tom believe we will see many venture investors move firms with much of their existing expected carry cut in half with the changing landscape? • What is Tom's biggest advice to someone looking to make their way into the venture world? 2.) The Calm Before the Storm: • Why does Tom believe now is the calm before the storm? • Why does Tom urge founders to go out and raise now before the storm hits? • Is Tom already seeing pricing coming down for both early and late-stage companies? 3.) When The Storm Hits: • When does Tom believe the storm will hit? • Why does Tom believe when it does hit, it will be worse than The Great Financial Crisis? • How will VCs respond when the storm hits? How will it impact their investing cadence? • How will LPs respond when the storm hits? Will they cut back their manager commitments? • Does Tom have hope that their will be a new class of LPs in this new economic cycle? 4.) The Rounds That Happen When The Storm Hits: • Does Tom believe we will see a wave of down rounds when the storm hits? Why are they less common than people think? • In the eye of the storm, will we see further layoffs? Will we see firesales? Will we see a tidal wave of shutdowns? • Will large multi-stage funds with huge amounts of dry powder change their deployment pace? The Survival Guide for the Storm: 1.) Raise Now: • Why does Tom believe that startups should raise now, not later? What amount of runway should they raise for in this environment? 2.) Cut, Cut and Cut Some More: • What amount of runway should startups be cutting to get to? • How will this impact marketing spend? Why are your marketing dollars more powerful now than ever before? 3.) Focus on Survival Not Valuation: • What does Tom mean by this? How can founders gain leverage with VCs when raising today? • How can founders instil a sense of urgency in their raise with investors? 4.) Bring on Operators with Experience: • Why would operators with experience join a struggling startup? • Will operators with experience not have a flight to safety and stay at their well-paid FANNG role? • Does this potential operator not shorten runway even further as they are often expensive? 5.) Unit Economics over Growth: • How can founders show investors a superior profile of unit economics moving forward? • Do investors not want both unit econ and growth today? 6.) Play Your Cards Right and Then Go on Offense: • How does Tom advise founders on the right time to go on offense? 7.) Be Decisive, Half Measures Rarely Succeed: • How does Tom define a half-measure? What is so wrong with half-measures?
