  • Great show but one request for the interviewer

    Great interviews, well done. Guests are awesome. One request for the interviewer. Please stay silent when the guest is speaking - no “yep”s, no “got it”s, no “right”s. Just listen. Also, don’t interrupt the speaker. Let them finish their thoughts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Second Cognitive Revolution: What AI Actually Means for Venture Capital
Q: How does the current regime change affect the venture capital ecosystem's structure and players?
Capital is getting more intensive and the capital stack is expanding with debt, convertibles, and big entrants like BlackRock. This changes timelines, DPI/TVPI dynamics, and creates opportunities for nimble, early players while pushing others to rethink strategy and value creation in venture.
The Second Cognitive Revolution: What AI Actually Means for Venture Capital
Q: What is the Adaptability Quotient and why did you write a book about it?
AQ measures the ability to adapt when the frame changes rapidly. It encompasses metacognition, scenario planning, and rapid experimentation. The book codifies a toolkit for resolving uncertainty and applying it across markets to improve decision-making in a regime-shifting world.
The Second Cognitive Revolution: What AI Actually Means for Venture Capital
Q: Could you explain the difference between risk and uncertainty and why that matters for venture investing?
Risk is when possibilities and probabilities are known; uncertainty is when both are unknown or ill-defined. In venture, entrepreneurs are rewarded for resolving uncertainty, not for merely taking on known risks. This framework guides how and when to invest, pivot, and scale.
From Juilliard to $6B AUM: How a Musician Built One of Venture's Most Unconventional Endowments
Q: Can you explain how you go from musician to finance and what skills carried over?
Nicholas explains that dedication, discipline, and the ability to say yes and figure out the execution later were crucial, supplemented by formal steps like the CFA and internal investment roles; the conversation highlights how art training can translate to methodical investing and long-term stewardship.
What Venture's Top Voices Expect Next in AI
Q: What do you think VCs should keep an eye out for this year in the world of AI?
There will likely be a moment of pause in the market where VCs assess the durability and viability of AI companies.
