EP27: Rounds on Rounds on Rounds (w/Bill Beer of Daversa Partners)
The VC market has lost its mind.
Funding rounds are huge. Unicorns are many. There’s a lot of money, and a lot of people willing to spend it.
It feels like we’re living through a singular moment. But is that true? There’ve been tech booms before — is this one really any different?
Here to talk about it is Bill Beer, a veteran of Silicon Valley and an insider to its funding sprees going back to the early 2000s. As a partner at Daversa Partners, Bill has spent the past two decades working with newly-minted superstars & top VCs to build out their executive ranks.
Bill & Louis talk about today’s funding boom and what’s driving it (hint: FOMO), as well as the ins & outs of executive recruiting and how to find a firm that matches your needs.
Highlights include:
-What makes today’s funding boom different from others in Silicon Valley?
-Are we in the middle of a tech bubble and is that a bad thing?
-What should startups be looking for in an executive recruiting partner?
-How do you know whether it’s time to take your executive search function in-house?
