  • Best LP podcast out there

    I would say this, Capital Allocators and Venture Unlocked are the best LP podcasts. Top 3 for sure. I’m raising my first set of funds for my own firm and have learned a lot from the episodes.

  • Signal, Not Soundbites

    David Weisburd differs from typical finance podcasts. It shows how experienced allocators reason, not how they perform.

    DW avoids filler and focuses on trade-offs, strategy, and intellectual restraint.

    Each episode gives you a way to think, not something to quote and forget. If you want signal over noise, it’s a solid listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E369: Midas List VC: Why Smart VCs Are Buying Secondaries
Q: How do you evaluate opportunities and manage risk when pricing secondary deals?
Pricing hinges on inflection points and information flow, not just discounts; sometimes pricing at par or above is justified when insiders signal confidence or when there is strong governance and a clear path to scale, with rigorous underwriting and a focus on the right timing rather than deep discounts alone.
E369: Midas List VC: Why Smart VCs Are Buying Secondaries
Q: What is the key thesis behind focusing on secondary investments over primary venture deals?
The core thesis is that secondaries can unlock liquidity earlier, provide access to high-quality, misunderstood assets, and allow a venture-like approach with a potentially faster and more scalable path to returns by targeting inflection points just before they occur.
E360: The Hardest Lessons I Learned from Building 4 Unicorns
Q: What motivates you to stay private versus pursuing a public listing, given the liquidity options available?
Staying private allows us to align incentives across the long horizon of drug development, manage capital efficiently, and keep our focus on genuine long-term value rather than quarterly pressures.
E360: The Hardest Lessons I Learned from Building 4 Unicorns
Q: Why do you think Alloy Therapeutics is uniquely positioned as a biotech infrastructure company?
We designed Alloy to touch the whole supply chain from discovery to commercialization, offering cutting-edge tech-enabled services that accelerate drug development while maintaining a private, flexible structure that can adapt as opportunities arise.
E345: How I Raised $10 Billion in Venture Capital w/Scott Painter
Q: How did personal risk and mental health factor into the process, and what helped you cope?
Painter describes significant personal risk, including mortgage-backed support and CBT therapy, which helped stabilize his mental health and decision-making under extreme pressure, enabling clearer strategic choices later on.
