Episode 82: Why All Founders Have to be Great Sales People with Dan Bowyer - Co-Founder and Partner at SuperSeed VC

Startup HandMeDowns

Dan Bowyer co-founder and invest at Superseed VC. Dan invests in technical founders building smart B2B tech startups (SaaS/health/data), with a mission to help them to find global market fit.

It's Dan's job to help them get out of startup mode using scalable, repeatable and profitable sales models. Ensuring they get the right people on the bus, create the right energy, infrastructure & activity to get to their first £1m in recurring revenue - which is definitely the most exciting and precarious stage for any tech startup. Before Dan was a VC he was a Tech entrepreneur, operator, and investor with 20 years experience building businesses and implementing digital. Having enjoyed some spectacular failures and some delightful successes.

Dan has probably been one of the most interesting VCs I've met having started out his career in a boy band managed by Simon Cowell, I kid you not. In this episode talk all things from venture investing to COVID-19 and more.
