Vocap Insights
Notes from the field on building durable, efficient growth companies.
There is a better way
We aren’t fans of some key trends in early-stage investing. Funds have ballooned in size and investors are doing many more deals per fund. This over-extends investors and undermines their ability to provide meaningful support to founders. It also feeds a “ unicorn or bust" imperative, prioritizing the fund’s economics over the company’s needs.
If you have found yourself changing your financial projections or the amount of your fundraise to fit what investors want to hear, or if you have wondered where your "value add" investors went after the deal is closed, then you know what we are talking about.
Testimonials
What our portfolio company CEOs have to say about working with Vocap.
"Vocap has made a huge contribution to building out and improving Blue Ridge's operations. They helped us hone our product strategy and establish our 50+ person Center of Excellence subsidiary in India, which put our execution of that strategy into hyperdrive."
"Vocap has helped on so many fronts and not superficially. They brought in one of their technology and product resources who has been working with the company since the investment. They have also been instrumental in the recruiting process, helping us secure two key executives. As a young CEO, I am appreciative of all their help."
"Anthony and I keep the Vocap team on speed dial, knowing they'll engage at a moment's notice. They've been instrumental in helping us refine our growth and business development strategy, bringing a powerful mix of experience, creativity and collaboration. I've had a lot of funds say they invest their time to help. These guys back it up."
"As serial founders, Karim and I have had the opportunity to work with a range of investors. Vocap has proven to be everything we hoped they were coming into the relationship, an aligned partner who rolls up their sleeves to help where and when we need it. Beyond just leading two rounds of investment for us, they have helped us rebuild our financial forecasting and FP&A processes, design compensation plans for key board and management hires, and work through the next phase of our go-to-market."
