Johnston/On
Alan Patricof
Greycroft is quite active in early stage investing — how do you size up a very early stage company when considering an investment?
In an ideal situation, we look for a seasoned management team that has had experience in a similar area of activity. We look for a business with a significant addressed market, a unique proprietary advantage, and a good set of economics.
What inspires you about today’s entrepreneurs? Any differences from entrepreneurs of the heady 90’s?
I think that entrepreneurs today are more seasoned and they definitely are more aware of the pitfalls that individuals and companies encountered in the 90’s. They are more realistic about staging and growth, using bench marks as they raise different levels of capital.
You are well known for political and philanthropic activism. But, one of your other passions is addressing social inequities and access to capital in developing countries. What are the most promising sectors / companies in places like Africa and Latin America?
I believe the developing world, in particular Africa, has a broad range of opportunities across the board. The best way I can describe it is with the following anecdote: “Two shoe salesmen go to Africa to make some money; one calls his boss and says, “I’m coming home, nobody here wears shoes,” similarly, the other salesman calls his boss and says, ’I am moving my whole family here and making this my life career, everybody here needs shoes.’ I believe that says it all.
The softball question...what’s your favorite thing about New York?
That’s easy - It’s the energy! I am reminded of this every time I return home from visiting another city, country or continent. As I step out into the New York air, I breathe deeply and know that I am back in the most exciting environment on earth.
