About a year ago, I asked why more VCs aren’t using coaches. Given the uncertain career paths for VCs, the unique dynamics around partner promotion within and across firms, and lack of clear direction on how to best spend your time on a day to day basis, it felt like investors would benefit from talking to someone who could provide some guidance. After all, it’s something they recommend founders do.

If you’re in venture capital and you’re trying to make partner somewhere, should you get some operational experience somewhere and then come back? It’s a question my VC coaching clients ask all the time. Yes! 100%. You should be like Sarah Tavel. You should source Pinterest while at Bessemer, then “[join] as a "utility player" before we had product managers, and [become] the first PM at Pinterest.

For years after the dotcom bubble burst, being a founder was weird and hard. Things were just starting to pick up again when the bottom fell out of the global economy. The GFC kicked off the most sustained period of fiscal and monetary stimulus in modern times. Just as the Fed was coming off the gas COVID hit, forcing a quick return to zero interest rates plus a massive new liquidity pulse to keep the lights on after we all went home.

The ability to embrace change is a fundamental skill for any founder. Growing a business from the ground up requires being willing and able to adapt as your product evolves, your market changes, and your customer base grows. And while entrepreneurs tend to be more inclined to embrace change than most people, that doesn’t mean it’s always easy for us.
