================================

Daniel Tomov is the founding partner of Eleven Ventures, one of the most active early-stage venture capital funds in Southeastern Europe. Since 2012, Eleven has invested in over 200 startups, helping shape the regional startup ecosystem — including Payhawk, Bulgaria’s first unicorn.


In the #307 episode of the Greg Albrecht Podcast, Daniel shares why he’s not a picker but a builder and how that philosophy changes everything about VC, founder support, and building lasting companies.


What you’ll learn in this episode:

✅ Why most startup boards fail — and how to build ones that actually work

✅ How Eleven supports founders before and after investment

✅ How many pivots does it take to find product-market fit — and are 24 pivots to unicorn a lot? (like Payhawk)

✅ How to decide when to pivot, persevere, or pull the plug

✅ What makes CEE founders unique — and what’s still holding them back

✅ How a personal health crisis gave Daniel radical clarity and focus


If you're a founder, VC, or startup operator — this conversation will change your thoughts about early-stage investing.

pude your own bable show we haveall this analyshed this comes
from your own experience from the founders it universities
before new make the velvet to toall you founders są są what we

(05:28):
have in visices is that more doesn't mary where is the
Industry what is the project be the path is bor less fall in the
same principes. A w course ich patis very unic
the different Challenge Challenge is along the way.
The sejm so what we'rely do is that when we me the new team and

(05:51):
we bel the strong, więc that we have to Invest in the team than
we sit down with and say o k listen we have to have Plan what
we like to cheave in the next hundred days in the next to out
mants show we sith together and we and we beaut display together
show is a o k this is what we have this are the charges i had

(06:12):
a was this that the objective itwe will like.
To cheave and this is the resources that we might need
need. How are you doing it?
Pre Investment is it part of thecan of Investment teases, or and
the pre World that is part of the deligence or now your here
sitting. Onet more after univest.

(06:33):
Ac we started the process with before the Investment because
one of the Magic questions is o k how could we have this is a
mina if you work with this do wehave some n feedish that is a
some no how knowledge o experience that we have and we

(06:53):
could how the more than everybody House because this is
part a far. Wery propozycji to the founders
NA in the number of case is founders, duke side 2 work with
us because of this so we so we have a raf Plan whatever base
Other conviction what we could does for the how we couch i

(07:14):
czyli. Company a w kors along the
process i na collaboration with the founders this this becomes a
very details operation Plan and by the time Invest we are the
now executely what we would liketo do anek, czyli the moment we
sign all the Papers, the first thing that we do with with the

product where it's about streetgy about everything show
we no execaly how to work and what i'm fisforces we have to
break will. Come were coming back to the

(07:56):
second part of my questions. Bory if you realize that the
founders don't out complay to this Vision on they me have
there on opinie or they mey justthe clare they will be following
the Plan but the doing somethingeals are there eny ways of
making the believe more in this joint Plan and make them really

the coach able the molt the ball, the the reason founders,
part of course. Jest tak the first gate, bo ten
you set together, ukraine, strategie create Vision, but in
the ends parcile your Vision bar, it's not your Company in

(08:40):
the end Harry you work on this process to make work.
There is no can't of American solution to that and reason is a
by say that the we just this is play book to Creative planet is

You like to cheve that to this is our idea so we go back and
for the cable i sam interesuje nie są są jeĆŒeli we come
something that a mind the have agood degree of Beyond in most

(09:47):
the case is it's it's not that people down like to.
Work on this play book war happens is it is you lee is sera
pat tempo that is very high so sometimes founders could get
over one with a love Things thatare the round n you have a lot

(10:10):
of nones and noise. Sometimes i get the read not
