BFSITechTalks webinar: Lyon Kassab speaks on Hydrasoft's anti-fragile Venture Operating Model Centricity
A startup entrepreneur has to fight many battles, often alone, in the early stages and it is not fair to expect s/he can design and run business architecture, technology, operations, finance, sales, marketing and compliance all alone. S/he often cannot afford expensive consultants and even if hired, they may not have a skin in the game. VCs step in at different stages and while they bring certain discipline, they cannot be expected to be hands-on experts in a given business. Missing some important signals or steps, not having the network of connections, can prove highly damaging, if not fatal, to a startup.
A new way of partnering, called the Venture Operating Model, (VOM) is offered by Hydrasoft Ventures (hydrasoftventures.io) where they can become the entrepreneur’s founding or late stage partners and not just provide financial resources and expertise but align their rewards to specific business accomplishments of the startup. A typical e to 5 year exit path is mutually agreed up-front that gives complete clarity to both parties on the goals, the relationship and the exit.
Lyon Kassab, a startup veteran and co-founder of Hydrasoft, is passionate about building anti-fragile businesses and long-lasting partnerships with their VOM. He speaks with Wayne Brown, Ross Pitcoff and Buck Kulkarni of BFSITechTalks community in this webinar.
