D.F.A., or, Please Do, #3

What's more important for startups: sales, product or finance? An interview with the company that got women to permanently go braless, and exciting news about Scout, a D.F.A. company.

The response to our 2nd newsletter was huge. I understand this is now the 3rd most popular newsletter in venture capital, behind Not Boring and and Lenny’s Newsletter. We have about 115,000 subscribers, nearly all accredited investors, and most work in either venture capital or private equity.

Learning About D.F.A. Capital

In the last 2 weeks, we’ve formally launched D.F.A. Capital Fund 1. Typically when we have conversations, we’re meeting with folks who are into the following areas:

1. You have a background in SaaS, telecom, agtech and ideally customer relationship management or marketing/sales automation (CRM)

2. You love meeting with founders a few times a year

3. You love sales like we do (we invest in sales-focused founders)

I’m in Chicago and New York every 6 weeks and can always meet in SF or L.A. fairly often. To book a time to chat, click here.
