On today’s Manager Meetings, Beezer Clarkson speaks with Mike
Smith and Nikhil Basu Trivedi. Beezer is a past guest on Capital
Allocators and is a Partner at Sapphire Ventures, where she is
responsible for the management of Sapphire’s fund investments in
early stage venture funds globally.
Mike and Nikhil are co-founders of Footwork Ventures, an
early-stage venture firm that closed on its first fund earlier this
year, which was significantly oversubscribed. Footwork plans to
invest in Seed stage and Series A companies with early signs of
product market fit and the potential for decades of customer love.
The partners discuss their blend of investing and operating skills,
and their fundraising process. Before they kick it off, Beezer and
I discuss how she discovered Footwork, her due diligence process,
decision to invest, and gaining capacity.
