Operational Excellence in VC: Behind the Curtain with Screendoor
As venture firms scale, operational complexity compounds quickly. What works at 10 portfolio companies often breaks at 20. What feels scrappy in Fund I can become a liability by Fund III. Join us for a conversation with Lisa Cawley of Screendoor as we explore the operational inflection points that define enduring venture firms. From portfolio visibility to LP communication, we will unpack what separates firms that scale with intention from those that stall under complexity.
