We invest more like underwriters than VCs. RSCM Managing Director Dave Lambert explained why on @startupsxyz: Turn every company into a profile, build the portfolio, skip the crystal ball. 2,000+ investments since 2012. A founder gets a yes or no in about a week.

The annual RSCM Founders Dinner at #SaaStr was a night to remember 🥂 Great founders, great conversations, and a panel on The SaaSpocalypse that had the whole room buzzing. Thank you to everyone who joined us. See you next year!

At Right Side Capital Management, capital efficiency isn't a nice-to-have. It's one of the first things we look at. Not because we want founders to be cheap, but because a low burn rate tells us something important: this founder knows how to convert capital into learning. The companies that break out rarely do so right away. They squiggle sideways before they take off. Capital efficiency is what keeps them alive long enough to get there. That's why we've backed 2,000+ capital-efficient tech startups across 6 funds — and why that's what we'll keep looking for.

VC, private equity, or debt can all make sense — but they lead to very different outcomes. The right path usually depends more on the founders’ goals than the company itself. Thanks again for having us on the How To SaaS podcast.

🔔 2025 Highlights from Right Side Capital 🔔 ✅ Closed Fund VI at $55M — our largest fund to date ✅ Ranked in the top 3% of U.S. VC firms by Time Magazine ✅ Named #2 most active AI investor in California We’re grateful to the LPs, founders, and friends who made this possible. We're looking forward to what 2026 has in store.

Scaling a startup isn’t just about adding fuel. It’s about reducing friction. @edwardlsullivan recently told our founders: Organizational velocity = fuel – friction. Hiring fast & raising capital won’t help if decision bottlenecks, messy delegation, and weak accountability drag you down. The best founders provide clarity on what success looks like, and then get out the way. Learn more: bit.ly/3MxsfqL

We’ve engineered a fast, data-driven approach to early-stage investing—built on real metrics, not narratives. That’s how we’ve built one of the most diversified portfolios in venture. 🎥 Here’s how it works.

Most AgTech startups struggle to gain traction in a sector that’s famously anti–Silicon Valley. Nuel didn’t. Founders Krishna Manda and Alan Kartchner earned early revenue with no product, won over legacy players, and stayed lean even after their successful fundraise. Their $1.9M Pre-Seed round isn’t just a win—it’s a masterclass in trust-building and capital efficiency. Here’s how they did it: bit.ly/4pRck5S

TIME & Statista named Right Side Capital to America’s Top VC Firms 2025. It’s validation for our Pre-VC, data-first model—transparent criteria, fast decisions, and >150 investments per year. Thank you to our founders and LPs. See the list: bit.ly/4oJgYlK

Customer support orgs that aren’t using GenAI are already behind. The best CS teams are re-architecting around AI for faster onboarding, structured call insights, and dynamic knowledge bases. Two RSCM founders  (@Ablordesays from @4DegreesAI and @dakotayounger from Boon) show what it actually looks like to build support at the speed of AI.

We’ve just closed Fund VI with $55M in committed capital. It’s our biggest fund yet, and a major milestone for Right Side Capital. Since 2012, we’ve backed over 2,000 capital-efficient tech startups. Fund VI lets us double down on what we do best: - Investing at scale (150+ investments a year) - Moving fast - Staying radically transparent - Running on data, not gut feel We're grateful to our LPs, our portfolio founders, and the 10+ years of learnings that brought us here.

“We’re a bit unique: We invest in rounds even smaller than  Pre-Seed.” In the clip below, RSCM Managing Director Dave Lambert explains what sets us apart to  @brennanchonggg from B Found. - We invest in <$500,000 rounds - We make data-driven investments - We invest in 100s of companies every year #fundraising #venturecapital #VC #startups

82% of surveyed VCs believe capital efficiency is more important than ever before. RSCM surveyed 110 VCs and they said they are placing a greater emphasis on capital efficiency for portcos in this leaner landscape. That sentiment seemed to be universal: The survey included an option for respondents to indicate that capital efficiency was unimportant, but not a single respondent selected it. Share this to help a founder in your network. Check out the full results of the survey: bit.ly/3y1eQ3s

What do VCs expect from #founders raising a Pre-Seed round? We surveyed VCs to find out. Nearly half of VCs said they’d fund pre-revenue startups, but they also said growth expectations are high. Read the report for more: bit.ly/3y1eQ3s #preseed #fundraising #VC
