Interview on Slice

I did a podcast to talk about the fund I am building and had way too much fun 🙃

Hi friends,

While this forum is usually the written word, I have no problem jumping into the spoken word too.

So I recently joined Fabri & Sunwoo on the Slice Podcast, which gives emerging managers (such as yours truly) to tell their story. If you are curious about what the next generation of venture managers are building, I’d highly encourage you to check Slice out — Fabri & Sunwoo are incredible hosts with thoughtful questions and deep industry context.

I wrote about this more in a LinkedIn post (please make my day and like / comment / share), but we unpacked:

• What I am building with Step Function

• Real tradeoffs of solo GP life vs. a multi-stage fund

• The magic I look for when I meet a founder

• Why infra software is the densest set of power laws in venture

• The future of venture and why small, specialist funds are well-positioned

Most importantly, we had a ton of fun doing it! For what is a serious set of topics, the banter was on point 👌

If you have a minute (or forty), I’d love for you to give it a listen. Feel free to go at 3x speed 😉. And if you have friends who might be interested (it is a bit niche, I know), please send it over to them too. Listen on Spotify 🎧.

Thoughts / feedback? I’d love to hear it! Let me know in the comments or reach out direct any time.

PS - I know this is a ‘blog’ and I’m meant to ‘write’ things once in a while. If there is anything you would love my take on, let me know — I’m planning to carve out more time for writing this summer! 📩
