1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Giuseppe Donvito, Partner at P101 Ventures (Part 2)

Sramana Mitra: Firstly, what is the size of your deal flow? How many deals do you see?

Giuseppe Donvito: When we started, we used to do a mix of post-seed and early stage. We used to see a thousand companies per year, out of which, our investment rate was 5% per year. Now that we’ve moved to a more later stage, we see probably 500 deals a year and we do only 1%. In those typical stats, we don’t explore 50% and the other half we do some analysis.

1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Heather Hiles, Founder and Managing Partner at Imminent Equity (Part 5)

Heather Hiles: The problem with community colleges is, even after you have AA and even after Bachelor, they don’t get themselves hired. They don’t find themselves having industry capabilities. One can earn $100,000 being a Salesforce Administrator. I can teach you in probably four months. You can’t learn that at a community college. You could get an AA degree, but you still don’t have a way to earn a good living.

Sramana Mitra: But that’s my point. You can learn Salesforce Administration through Udemy.

1Mby1M Virtual Accelerator Investor Forum: With Heather Hiles, Founder and Managing Partner at Imminent Equity (Part 4)

Sramana Mitra: One of the reasons why we got attracted to Udemy as a platform to work with is because of the reach and democratization. There is no barrier to entry. Has Udemy made an impact in the startup ecosystem?

Heather Hiles: It has. It has been transformative for people around the world. It’s one of the reasons that I was so thrilled to be asked to join the Board of Directors in 2020. Over my 35 years, I’ve become a bit of an expert in how to upskill people. I had just come from building the first state-wide community college online teaching program of actual competencies and job technical skills to underemployed people in order to upskill them.
