Josh Muccio: Baukunst only writes lead checks in the millions
“Baukunst doesn't really do small checks. They're either leading your entire round and investing millions, or they're out.”

“I work in a partnership, so I have three partners, but I would be very excited to jump into diligence, and my investment would be, I would say, at least a million. I would rather do 1.25, if you'd be open to taking more. I'd even go 1.5 if you would be willing…”

McAndrew: $100M Fund Requires $1B Exit Potential for Every Deal
“One of the reasons that I rarely invest in beauty is because we have a hundred million dollar fund. And the way that we think about returns for our fund is we want the opportunity for every company that we invest in to have the opportunity to return our whole …”
