9 statements about Accomplice, every show
Accomplice prices User Interviews' funding round at a $15M valuation
“An accomplice settled on a fifteen million dollar valuation for user interviews, which is smack dab in the middle of the range talked about on the show.”
Sarah Downey offers a $25,000 angel investment in Feedback
“I would like to put 25 K in, personally, as an angel, and then continue to stay in touch, and when you do these classic seed, I think accomplice could be a good partner for you.”
Downey: Accomplice is the largest investor in DraftKings
“Well, we're the largest investors in DraftKings accomplices, my partner, Ryan Moore.”
Accomplice's Jeff Fagnan Is Vibe Capital's Largest LP
“He went from that to the starting Spearhead, giving me an angel fund, to now developing into our largest LP, where we're co-investing in deals together”
Ciecko: Cuseum raised about $1.5M from Techstars, Foundry Group, and Accomplice
“So we raised about one and a half million dollars. We're backed by Techstars, we're backed by Foundry Group and Accomplice.”
Individual partner accountability beats large VC consensus committees
“Fewer people taking deeper accountability for decisions was much better than this approach.”
Accomplice does not reserve follow-on capital for $1.5M seed checks
“When we write an initial seed check of say a million and a half, we are usually not reserving behind that company.”
Accomplice passed on follow-on rounds 10 to 15 times over valuation
“And I would say that's happened probably 10 to 15 times across the portfolio.”
