    • Taking Risks and Making an Impact with Israeli VC Barak Rabinowitz
      Feb 16 2022

      Barak Rabinowitz has developed his expertise on three continents: First as a young man on Wall Street, then as a startup founder in London, and now as co-founder of F2 Capital, a venture capital firm in Tel Aviv. Rounding out Barak’s experience is the time he served in an infantry paratroop brigade of the Israeli Defense Forces. 

      After stints with Morgan Stanley and Yahoo, he co-founded one of the first social gaming companies, Amuso, which was acquired by BBC Worldwide. When he got stressed, he would invest in other startups, eventually becoming a full-time VC. F2 Capital is an Israel-oriented early-stage VC company that invests in deep technology companies at the junction of big data, artificial intelligence, and connectivity, including cybersecurity, digital health, financial services, human resources, insurance, media, real estate, retail, and software infrastructure. These are B2B or B2B2C enterprise software companies with research and development in Israel.

      On this episode, Barak shares:

      • What he looks for in a founder before investing
      • How he views the most challenging phase of the Entrepreneur’s Wheel of Life
      • What founders should do within 6-12 months of their liquidity event
      • Why Israeli technology is unique
      • His admiration for Americans’ sales and marketing skills

    • Negotiating for a “Second Bite of the Apple” with Founder Steve Datnow
      Feb 2 2022
      Steve Datnow is a San Francisco Bay Area engineer and entrepreneur. He has been involved in five liquidity events, first as a startup employee, and most recently as a founder. He grew his most-recently acquired company, human resources software maker OrgChart5 Inc., from zero to 1,500 customers by bootstrapping, leveraging his connections, and negotiating well. In this episode, Steve shares how he learned to prevent surprises by asking those interested in buying his companies the right questions about management structure, financials, and even future plans. We discuss how he navigated a merger with another company, and acquisition by private equity firm Lock 8 Partners, in the same year. Finally, we talk about the three ways to compensate a startup team—cash, stock, or a combination of the two—and the benefits and risks of each. Like many entrepreneurs, Steve likes to take risks. That’s why as a term of the Lock 8 Partners deal, he chose compensation partially based on future company growth, what he calls the “second bite of the apple.” Steve Datnow’s LinkedIn Joyce Franklin's LinkedIn — Request a copy of The Four Phases of Startup Life and the Entrepreneur's Wheel of Life Read Joyce's book, Startup Wealth: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Personal Financial Success and Long-Term Security

    • Luck, Probability & Decision Trees: VC and Entrepreneur Peter Herz
      Jan 19 2022

      Peter Herz is a serial entrepreneur turned venture capitalist. Currently, he is general partner of 1st Course Capital, a VC firm focused on early-stage food and agricultural companies. When Peter faces tough decisions—like selling a concentrated stock position, considering investments, or choosing from a variety of paths for his portfolio companies—Peter uses a powerful tool called a decision tree. In this episode, he explains how he assigns probabilities to the various branches of the decision tree, and how this helpful tool keeps him from losing everything. 

      You can create your own decision tree using the resources in the show notes. Here’s a plug-in for decision trees and other elements to support decision analysis that works on top of Excel. The link for 1st Course Capital’s decision modeling for investments is available here.
