It’s been almost a year since we launched the new Counter Club online community and 540+ investors have joined already. Our reach spans 17 countries, almost every industry and ranges from newly launched CVCs to well established funds that are household names.
There are 300+ unique CVCs in the Counter Club. 188 investors in our Women in CVC Group and 222 in our Emerging CVC Group. Read on to understand how you can maximize the value of this community for your own benefit…
If you’ve just joined, reach out to abbie@counterpart.vc for a short crash course on how to maximize value from the community. Otherwise feel free to explore the value by hitting the + button when you are logged in (top RH corner when on desktop/laptop).
Counter Club works best on desktop/laptop. If you are using on mobile then please download the Counter Club app from the App Store (Android coming in 2024, currently only available on iOS). The “+ Share” button is at the bottom.
Before digging into all the Counter Club Community benefits, if you are not already a member, you can request to join here:
Recruit For Your CVC Fund
Members can post new roles at their funds that will be seen by all members. Hit the + button in the top RH corner when logged in and select “Post an Opportunity”. The advantage of posting to our community is you are getting eyeballs only from corporate VCs. Members are also encouraged to share roles at other CVC funds, it doesn’t necessarily have to be at role at your fund.
Check out this sample job posting and post your open positions now (you must be logged in first):
Share Deals & Portfolio Co’s
We encourage investors to share info on their own portfolio companies and deal decks from startups seeking investment from strategic CVCs.
Members are encouraged to reach out to other CVCs for strategic partnerships with your portfolio companies. We will also host various industry specific deal sharing events throughout the year, but hope the deal page can be a continuous resource and conversation.
The advantage of sharing your deal flow with other CVCs is to seek feedback from your peers, find other deals to work on in the future and understand relevant trends that other corporates find interesting.
Announce Latest Deals and New Funds
We’d like to celebrate some of the wins with you— feel free to send us new fund announcements, promotions for Counter Club members, deal announcements and more. Reach out to team@counterpart.vc to share any news updates or post them directly to the Live Feed yourself. Hit the + button in the top RH corner!
Join your Industry Group
You may have already been added to a group based on your profile. You can also browse and join relevant open groups to receive specific industry news and deal sharing. We encourage investors to post specific inquiries to a more focused audience on these channels as the general community grows.
The groups include: Fintech, Auto Tech & Mobility, CPG, Energy & Resources, Healthcare, Insurtech, Proptech & Construction Tech, Supply Chain & Logistics. Let us know if there’s another group you’d like to see created.
