  • 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.

E400: Anthony Pompliano on Power Laws, Conviction, and Compounding
Q: How should one approach asymmetric opportunities vs. stock market returns?
One can choose between pursuing high-velocity, high-risk bets for outsized returns or aiming for high certainty with smaller yet steady long-term gains, depending on risk tolerance and time horizon.
E400: Anthony Pompliano on Power Laws, Conviction, and Compounding
Q: What separates the top three investors in the world from the top 1% of investors?
They press their winners harder and cut their losers faster, maintaining conviction and focusing capital growth on a few high-conviction ideas rather than spreading too thin.
E399: How General Catalyst Finds Billion-Dollar Startups
Q: How does General Catalyst solve the problem of investors following on to their portfolio companies and signaling risk?
GC maintains a policy to buy ownership up front at seed and avoids leading the Series A for their seed companies in order to prevent signaling risk, ensuring founders and co-investors see a clear, black-and-white approach.
E399: How General Catalyst Finds Billion-Dollar Startups
Q: Do you think there's a world where if OpenAI was not successful or SpaceX wasn't successful, the entire industry would not proliferate?
The belief is that category-defining successes like SpaceX and OpenAI catalyze broader industry growth; without them, the landscape would look very different, with fewer catalysts for momentum across adjacent sectors.
E401: Einstein Was Wrong About What Actually Compounds
Q: What is the dominant factor that compounds over a career according to your guest?
The dominant factor is the compounding of relationships, brand, and access to information, which together create a sustainable edge far beyond pure financial capital.
