  • 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.

E373: What Most CIOs Get Wrong About Alpha
Q: How important is governance in achieving alpha?
Governance determines decision rights across the organization, enabling dynamic asset allocation and disciplined risk management, which are essential for delivering consistent alpha in private markets.
E373: What Most CIOs Get Wrong About Alpha
Q: What role do continuation vehicles play in long-hold strategies?
Continuation vehicles enable investors to retain high-conviction assets beyond the typical fund life, preserving upside and enabling longer-term value realization in successful portfolio companies.
E373: What Most CIOs Get Wrong About Alpha
Q: How should endowments think about leaning into inefficiency?
Endowments should allocate with a focus on governance, partnership, and selective specialization, ensuring they have in-house or partnered expertise to access and manage diverse, high-alpha opportunities.
E373: What Most CIOs Get Wrong About Alpha
Q: What does beautifully inefficient mean in practice?
Markets that are deeply inefficient but where a disciplined, repeatable approach can capture alpha over a meaningful time horizon, balanced by a sustainable competitive advantage and barriers to entry.
E371: Midas List VC: Why AI Models Will NOT Become Commodities
Q: Why did you choose Anthropic over OpenAI when the opportunity arose?
I looked for a signal that the value would accrue through vertical specialization and enterprise-oriented productization, with a positive feedback loop from developers and customers that would compound over time, potentially creating a larger moat than a broad consumer focus.
