we were moving so quickly and made tons of mistakes|David Frankel, Managing Partner, Founder Collective 00:10:00
Frankel and his partners took no external capital: "there's no better funding source than well-served, paying customers." "As the first bandwidth provider, we saw Internet opportunities early and grew good businesses in access, security, hosting & web development." Our early forays into media & healthcare taught me poignantly that we're better served betting on great people than themes and momentum." That early experience seeded huge enthusiasm for smart, scrappy entrepreneurs and sales led organizations.
