What defines a leader? Titles can help identify possible leaders. Validation, however, certainly requires seeing a leader in action. Joe Mandato has held many leadership titles and been in many leadership roles. He’ll leave the quality of that leadership to others to ponder. What he does know is that he was not born a leader. Nor did he learn leadership in college or graduate school, despite the leadership classes he took and the conscious efforts he made to build his leadership skills. .

Most of us have seen some version of this chart that shows how the Covid pandemic has accelerated e-commerce adoption: What is interesting to me is that it has also impacted in person retail experiences.

A VC: Musings of a VC in NYC

OCTOBER 5, 2020

I explained this last week on a call with some of our investors and I thought it might be useful to explain it more broadly. Most of USV’s big wins have been in companies where we were the first institutional VC to talk to the company or where we had way more conviction about the opportunity than other investors at the time of our investment. There was no social proof on these investments other than the fact that nobody else wanted to make the investment as much as we did.

You’ve spent the majority of 2020 being told that you must adapt to the pandemic’s new economic landscape in order to stay afloat. Acknowledging this fact is easy: putting it into action in a way that promotes long-term business success, that’s the hard part. While companies across the globe were forced to lay off staff and cut expenditures when the crisis hit, many missed an opportunity to creatively augment or repurpose their existing offerings to serve a new audience and solve a new problem.

Now, a well-operated and managed business should be able to separate this 20 percent from the rest 80 percent and put most of its marketing and selling efforts wooing this profitable segment. But how do you identify the better revenue-generating customer segment?
