500 Strategy:
MoneyBall for Startups
“Lots of Little Bets”
500 Strategy: Lots of Little Bets*
1) make lots (>100) of
investments in early-
stage startups
3) wait 3-10 years for returns:
-10-20% small exits @1-5X (<25M+)
-5-10% larger exits @5-20X ($25-250M+)
-1-2% unicorns @20-50X+ (>$250M-1B+)
*See Peter Sims book: “Little Bets”
2) over next 2 years, double-
down on top 20%
Building Tech Startups
Make lots of little bets:
• Start with many small “experiments”
• Filter out failures + small wins
• Double-down on stuff that looks like it’s working
• Incubation: $0-100K (“Build & Validate Product”)
• Seed: $100K-$1M (“Test & Grow Marketing Channels””)
• Venture: $1M-$10M (“Maximize Growth & Revenue”)

500 VCs,
500 Funds
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
How to Become a VC
• Option 1: Go to Harvard/Stanford/Wharton, Get MBA,
Become VC Associate, Work at McKinsey / Google /
Facebook, Re-Join VC as Junior Partner or Partner
• Option 2: Start a Startup, Grow Really Big, Sell for $1B+,
Join VC as Partner
