Tips From a Trailblazer: From Entrepreneur to Venture Capitalist

December 15, 2020 by Rebeccah Yeadon Leave a Comment

Pascal Petit learned a lot from his experience as a young startup looking for investment. Now, the CEO of Thynk Cloud and Operating Partner at Serena has come full circle, achieving great entrepreneurial success, as well as stepping into the world of venture capitalism (VC).

This unique dual perspective of investment has provided him with valuable insights into the process of growing a business and the many ways working with VCs can accelerate growth for a startup.

The industry leader joined us on the Trailblazing Entrepreneurs podcast to share what VCs are really looking for in a business, and why their support extends far beyond monetary investment.

You wear multiple hats — you’re the CEO of Thynk and you work for a VC — what is your approach for growing and leading these companies?

Pascal: The most important thing is the team, and whether people are aligned in terms of vision — in both their personal life and their professional life.
