We create fast-scaling companies tackling huge markets.
Fast-scaling usually means :
Huge market means that you can have a reasonable plan to eventually get to 100Me sales per year at least.
We’ve been achieving those exact numbers on 3 companies. 5 more companies are achieving this with a one-year lagging period.
We are not bent on taking (or not) VC money, but the growth rate is mandatory. Capital structure and capital needs are depending on the particular case of the company.
Those kind of fast-scaling companies are hard to manage, hard to understand, extremely hard to operate, and will require a lot of sacrifices by you. It means having to separate from “good” people because they are not fast enough, it will mean taking risks. It will mean tough decisions and rethinking yourself as a leader.
If you want to understand why this growth rate is mandatory, it is because it’s correlated to speed and ultimately to success. Watch this video.
About exits, we are not bent on anything, but usually shareholders agreement are a kind of “everyone has to agree” situation. We prefer big outcomes, of course.
