  • 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.
