Silicon Valley, California is an area which has a concentrated population of Venture Capitalists and Startups. Its success in creating & supporting innovation & creativity in businesses can be contributed to the wisdom & experience that is intensified here. It is the variety and diversity of the Startup ecosystem and the Investor community that makes it a great place to be extremely successful in business and learn about business.

Venture capitalists have a seat at the table when deals are made and businesses are started and grown. Their business experience & advice as contribution can make the difference between success and failure for startups. In recent times, particularly since the COVID pandemic and Climate Change awareness, it appears that whoever talks the loudest or who has the most money, is listened to by the masses. Venture Capital used to be a very successful cottage industry but since Private Equity became involved in recent times, the results have changed.

Flooding the market with money, such as Private Equity & others, is not the magic sauce, as can be evidenced by recent business disasters in the last few years. Most Venture Capitalists have experience & background as entrepreneurs or from corporations and that is the real key to the success & growth of a startup/business.

VConVC focuses on the Wisdom and Experience of Silicon Valley Investors who have surfed the waves of Success & Failure since the early days of Venture Capital. VCs interviewing VCs via audio podcasts is our contribution to the Silicon Valley Investor and Startup Ecosystem which now extends to every country. It is a way of bringing Investors’ experience & wisdom to all who care to listen.
