Volition Capital

“Sachin recalls, “When it was time to evaluate VCs, we heard about Volition Capital by word of mouth. We were looking for a partner that would help us hire the right individuals and work with us without being overly aggressive in that process. We wanted a team that had similar philosophy as us – not to go after growth at any cost.””

“Roger does a weekly touch base. He allows the relationship to be intimate and familiar to the extent you want it to be. You’re not just hearing from someone at the board who wants an update. He’s been a great coach and is always supportive. It’s really a great balance in my mind. He’ll push when that needs to happen, but he knows how to do that without being invasive or disturbing your flow. The team at Volition finds that balance. Yes, they are going to be involved. But, they are going to know what we’re doing, and they certainly aren’t overly involved at every corner or turn.”

“Volition has been a fantastic investment partner. There’s a recognition and understanding that building a business is hard. They are not the type of investors that will come into the board room, pound their fists and demand results. They push me when pushing is needed, but, importantly, they’ll work with me to get there. It’s not one sided.”

““We chose Volition Capital because we recognized that the market opportunity in front of us is bigger than we imagined – we believe that with growth capital, we could decisively claim market leadership in our space. We’re building a multi-billion dollar company and we couldn’t have found a better investor that understands both our business and the road ahead for GRAX.””

“You want someone who believes in your idea – Larry and the team at Volition gave that to me. It’s important to remember that i t’s never a straight line to build a company. There are lots of pivots along the way – you want to work with someone who believes in your idea and gives you some room to execute it. From day-1 Volition also helped bring a lot of structure to the business that helped hold us accountable. That was really important. I always tell entrepreneurs they need a good investor to help hold the company accountable.”

““We could have easily partnered with someone who would have been the wrong investor for a multitude of reasons – we got lucky.”

““You have some investors who you know you can only ask them to do certain things because they aren’t really willing to do a lot of work and get their hands dirty. I could pick up the phone to call Larry – almost 24/7 – he was available on weekends – he became like a partner. He was like my co-founder or one of the employees. I could ask him for anything. He didn’t always know the answers, but he would figure out a way to get it done.””
