We have previously raised funds in 1996 ($200 million), 2000 ($400 million) and 2008/9 ($200 million). At any moment in time one of Upfront’s associates are likely to be working on: a pricing strategy, a market-expansion strategy, an M&A review, or helping build a company’s first board deck template.

They now have a strong VC lead from Foundry Group and from experience when you get advice from Foundry it comes with authority, experience, empathy and the right amount of straight talk. I know because I have been the beneficiary of their advice for years and have appreciated it. If all else fails, angel-load away! Information leaks.

Our 3rd fund began investing in March 2009 (raised in 2008) and our 4th fund started in April 2012 so this fund will naturally begin investing around March / April 2015. Will our strategy change now that we have 40% more capital? . Many people have helped us along the way with guidance, mentorship, introductions and advice.

Between 2006–2008 I sold both companies that I had started and became a VC. SEEING THINGS FROM THE VC SIDE OF THE TABLE While I was a VC in 2007 & 2008 those were dead years because the market again evaporated due the the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). How’s that advice holding up? Hey, we got to raise again next year.

During the 2008 recession, while everyone else was hanging onto the gunwales of tossing ships, offering bargains, and hoping for a quick end to the pain, a restaurant near our office started remodeling. The following is my advice on how to not just survive, but thrive, during a downturn along with examples of how we’ve used these strategies.

To anybody who asks my advice I repeat the same line, “I don’t know whether this party will last 6 weeks, 6 months or 18 months. I said, “It’s much easier now than it was in 2008/09.&# That happened a lot in 2002 and again in 2008. Exactly the opposite of what a rational investment strategy would advise.
