Extra Crunch Tuesday: Enterprise investors remain flexible as they navigate COVID-19

Welcome to Extra Crunch Tuesday

We reached out to a number of active enterprise investors to find out how — or if — the pandemic has shaped their thinking.

What we found: these VCs tend to take a long view, which means the current uncertainty hasn’t substantially changed how many of them operate.

To get a sense of how COVID-19 has impacted their strategy, we spoke to:

• Theresia Gouw, Acrew Capital
• Diane Fraiman, Voyager Capital
• Casey Aylward, Costanoa Ventures
• Hope Cochran, Madrona Venture Group
• Leyla Seka, Operator Collective
• Max Gazor, CRV
• Navin Chaddha, Mayfield
• Matt Murphy, Menlo Venture Capital
• Soma Somasegar, Madrona Ventures
• Jon Lehr, Work-Bench
• Steve Herrod, General Catalyst
• Jai Das, Sapphire Ventures
• Ed Sim, Boldstart Ventures
• Martin Casado, Andreessen Horowitz
• Vas Natarajan, Accel
• Dharmesh Thakker, Battery Ventures

Our prior enterprise survey failed to include any responses from female VCs and did not meet TechCrunch’s standards for diversity and inclusion. We regret the error.

Thanks very much for reading,

The rise of low-margin, no-margin unicorns

Alex Wilhelm examined recent IPOs for Kingsoft Cloud and Vroom to better understand why digital used car retailer Vroom is seeing such strong demand.

“With markets at all-time highs — and thus comparable valuations contentedly stretched — it’s probably a great time to take low-margin, growth-y companies public,” he concluded.

“But that doesn’t mean the situation makes perfect financial sense.”

Vroom's new IPO pricing is great news for unicorns

When unprofitable Vroom boosted its IPO price on Friday, it pushed the unicorn’s maximum gross raise to $431.3 million.

Despite Vroom’s falling gross margins, rising net losses and growing deficits, the move could swell the company’s value by $300 million, which “means that growth is once again hot as hell,” concludes Alex Wilhelm.

Our company has never sponsored anyone for a visa. Which type of visa should we pursue, how much will it cost, how long will it take, and what should we keep in mind while working through the process?

The accelerating digital transformation, redux

SaaS startups have seen growth accelerate as the COVID-19 pandemic encouraged companies to migrate to the cloud, but last week’s earnings results from Slack and Smartsheet were below expectations.
