Eric is a Managing Partner at Founder Collective, an early stage fund started by a team of entrepreneurs that launched companies and led them through successful exits. Headquartered in Cambridge and New York City, they are focused on helping the next generation of great entrepreneurs build lasting businesses.

Entrepreneur and VC Eric Paley explains why it takes a lot more than just a good idea to build a successful company.

There has been a lot of money sloshing around the startup world for the past few years. Cheap and accessible capital has advantages: More founders get the opportunity to pursue big dreams and previously “unfundable companies” not only raise huge amounts of money, but some ultimately achieve unicorn status.
