Manage episode 371055558 series 3243698
Investing out of their $170M Fund 3, Bonfire is a different type of investor. They are a lead-only seed VC with a high conviction approach which means each partner only does 2-3 deals a year and spends weekly time with each founder coaching them through the ups and downs of the startup journey. In this episode, Valor managing partner Lisa Calhoun leads a conversation with Brett Queener, managing director of Bonfire Ventures. Brett began his career at Seibel, back when enterprise software "came on CDs." He later joined Salesforce as an early employee, contributing to the creation of one of the most valuable enterprise software companies on earth for over a decade. He then joined a pre-revenue startup, Smart Recruiter, and helped that become the fastest-growing firm in enterprise recruiting over a 9-year journey. In this episode, you'll learn how Bonfire and Brett look at developing relationships with founders. You'll come away with deeply insightful approaches to building out sales teams that work well, and what Series A investors are looking for now.
