boldstart ventures, partnering from Inception with bold founders reinventing the enterprise stack - Snyk, Kustomer, BigID, Blockdaemon...
Many founders think they know who their buyer is but you have to remember it’s not a company, not a department, but an individual user. How are you making their lives 10x better with your product than without. How do you make them a superhero?
At Dooly we focus on a simple narrative built around the “Hero, Obstacle, and Treasure.” It’s actually the same way almost every Hollywood movie is made. Core to the story is making the user the hero and Dooly the treasure, not the other way around.
In my previous company, we invited them to our parties during OpenStack Summit. We worked hard and played hard with them.
Early days of pivotal we had a white board in James Watters office with the list of customers we’d won and the ones we wanted. Company and people’s names for each. For a couple years I could redraw that board from memory. Fortunately the business outgrew whiteboard scale. remember this Raghvender Arni Andrew Ettinger Joshua McKenty Andrew Clay Shafer Dekel Tankel Benjamin Black ?
