500 Strategy: Lots of Little Bets*
1) make lots of little
bets on pre-traction,
early-stage startups
3) wait 5-10 years for returns:
-10-20% small exits @1-5X ($5-25M+)
-5-10% larger exits @5-20X ($25-250M+)
-1-2% unicorns @20-50X+ ($250M-1B+)
*See Peter Sims book: “Little Bets”
2) over the next five years,
double-down on top 20-30%
~500 co’s @ $100K 1st checks
100-200 co’s @ $200-500K
2nd/3rd checks

Product Validation + Customer Usage

• Prove Solution/Benefit, Assess Market Size
• Test Channel Cost, Revenue Opportunity
• Determine Org Structure, Key Hires
Investment Stage #3: 

Revenue Validation + Growth
• Structure
– 5-25 person team
– $1M-$10M investment

• When will capital be returned? (1X in 5-8 yrs, 2-5X in 8-12 yrs)
• Simple allocation for $10M investment budget over first 5 years
• 50% 1st checks + 50% 2nd/3rd checks
• ~100 1st checks @ $50K each ($5M), ~20 checks / yr
• ~10-20 2nd checks @ $250-500K each ($5M), ~3 checks / yr

Selecting/Evaluating
55
Deal Terms, Deal Memos
• Summarize Opportunity:
• Concept, Product, Problem, Market, Traction, Team,
Terms, IP, Users, Revenue, Other Investors, Conviction
• [Summary of Previous Investments made + % ownership]
• Pre-Money Valuation or Cap + Discount (Ask for Min 2x?)
• Ask for Info Rights? (YES) Ask for Pro-Rata / Follow-On Rights?
• Major Investor Status? (Usually Info Rights + Pro-Rata Rights)
• Do You Have Leverage (or Not)?
56
The Flat, The Elbow, The Wall
• Invest @ “The Flat”
when prices are low
• Double-down if/when
you detect “The Elbow”
(if valuation isn’t crazy)
• Don’t invest @ “The
Wall” unless capital is
infinite — if valuation
starts running away, you
usually can’t buy any
meaningful ownership
relative to existing. Time

Appendix
500 Startups
to 500 VCs
We live in a World of ABUNDANCE
• There are LOTS of talented people in the world
• There are LOTS of entrepreneurs everywhere
• There is a LOT of capital sitting around, BUT….
• Not much is available for un-tested entrepreneurs :(
• 500 Startups plans to change that.
Who, What is an
Entrepreneur?
Who/What is an Entrepreneur?
• someone who WANTS to start a business
• someone who can RUN a business
• someone who can run a SUSTAINABLE business
• someone who can run a PROFITABLE business
that creates VALUE & employs LARGE # people
• someone who can run a $10M/yr business that
employs 100+people
How Big Is The Market?
Q: How Many Entrepreneurs?
• How Many People = 7,000,000,000 on earth
• 1% of Humanity is Entrepreneurial = 70,000,000 founders
• Live 70 years, try at least once = 1,000,000 founders / year
• How Much Do They Need? Zero? $100K? $1M? $10M?
• How Big is the Market = 1M founders x $10M = $10 TRILLION / year
• Come on, REALLY? (ok Divide by 100)
• 100,000 founders / year * $1M each = $100 BILLION / year
How Many VCs?
• How Many Founders? 1,000,000 founders / year
• (ok, divide by 100, let’s say 10,000 founders / year)
• 1 VC can make 20 investments / year
• 10,000 founders / 20 deals per VC = 500 VCs

  • 62. We live in a World of ABUNDANCE • There are LOTS of talented people in the world • There are LOTS of entrepreneurs everywhere • There is a LOT of capital sitting around, BUT…. • Not much is available for un-tested entrepreneurs :( • 500 Startups plans to change that.
  • 63. Who, What is an Entrepreneur?
  • 64. Who/What is an Entrepreneur? • someone who WANTS to start a business • someone who can RUN a business • someone who can run a SUSTAINABLE business • someone who can run a PROFITABLE business that creates VALUE & employs LARGE # people • someone who can run a $10M/yr business that employs 100+people
  • 65. How Big Is The Market? Q: How Many Entrepreneurs? • How Many People = 7,000,000,000 on earth • 1% of Humanity is Entrepreneurial = 70,000,000 founders • Live 70 years, try at least once = 1,000,000 founders / year • How Much Do They Need? Zero? $100K? $1M? $10M? • How Big is the Market = 1M founders x $10M = $10 TRILLION / year • Come on, REALLY? (ok Divide by 100) • 100,000 founders / year * $1M each = $100 BILLION / year
  • 66. How Many VCs? • How Many Founders? 1,000,000 founders / year • (ok, divide by 100, let’s say 10,000 founders / year) • 1 VC can make 20 investments / year • 10,000 founders / 20 deals per VC = 500 VCs
