  • 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.

E342: The Rise of Venture Secondaries
Q: What about DPI? How do you underwrite DPI in secondaries versus a traditional venture fund? How do you think about that?
We operate with a shorter duration than traditional venture funds, focusing on five-year funds with potential extensions, and emphasize liquidity through exits and secondary liquidity; our diligence adapts to information availability and we prioritize DPI outcomes as a core measure of performance.
E342: The Rise of Venture Secondaries
Q: Double click on that. Tell me about your strategy today.
The underlying goal is to continue to build positions in the companies that will create the most value in the late-stage private markets, with a flexible approach that includes primary rounds, pro rata support, and a strong focus on secondary transactions.
E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World
Q: How do you hedge investment in a post-singular world given the declining cost of fundamentals like compute and energy?
Investors should focus on building for a post-scarcity world, hedging and trading compute itself, and supporting AI startups solving physics with AI to catalyze a broader AI-driven economy.
E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World
Q: What should a typical worker do to avoid being left behind as AI advances?
Two common strategies in the zeitgeist are switching to manual labor to support AI infrastructure buildouts or starting AI-driven startups; the guest believes these are short-term, with longer-term potential requiring new labor paradigms and widespread entrepreneurial activity in AI-enabled fields.
E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World
Q: What does it mean for AI to stop and think—are these models alive or sentient?
The guest argues that while there is ongoing discussion about AI personhood and rights, the practical path is recognizing AI agents as economic actors and exploring rights in specific contexts, such as economic rights, rather than declaring general personhood.
