New to VC: Taking the Platform Route

Reading & Learning 🗞️

How VC firms are using the Platform role to help startups make the connections and relationships they need to succeed

Written by: Matt Weinberger, Editorial Director at Vertex Ventures

In startups, as in so many other things in life, relationships are everything.

For founders, this means that it’s never too early to invest in building relationships with companies in and around your industry — particularly with the larger market players. But no founder is an island, and just as with sales, marketing, or any other aspect of the startup journey, sometimes you need a little coaching and a warm introduction.

That’s why VC firms have, in turn, invested in what’s become known as the Platform function: A leader (or leaders) who work closely with their portfolio companies to help them with business development, corporate development, partnerships and industry alliances, and just about anything else that can help accelerate their business and help facilitate a successful exit down the line.

At Vertex Ventures US, the VC firm I joined last year, the Platform function is led by partner Dom Perri. Before he came to Vertex nearly 5 years ago, Dom had a long career in business development and M&A strategy at companies including Juniper Networks, Tesla, and Dropbox, plus a few small startups that got acquired — giving him a front-row seat to all the different ways in which smaller and larger tech companies can work together, and how those relationships are best forged.

Those partnerships can make all the difference in the world for startups. Dom’s one big piece of advice for founders is to plant the seeds of partnership early. You may not see the kind of immediate return on the investment of time or energy that you would by, say, signing a big customer. But taking the time now can pay off in a big way later.
