  • 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.

E325: Inside the $100B Continuation Vehicle Boom
Q: What is the most important strategic lens you apply when evaluating continuation vehicle investments?
Treat CVs like a private equity buyout: invest behind the sponsor you trust on the long-term “special” companies, underwrite with a bottom-up, company-level lens, and ensure the exit options and liquidity for LPs are structured up front. This means rigorous due diligence, clear incentives, and disciplined selection of assets with proven upside.
E323: How Billionaires Build Their Portfolios
Q: How should a billion-dollar family office think about liquidity and capital calls when constructing a portfolio?
Start with the cash-flow needs and liquidity constraints, then design the portfolio to meet those needs while sizing the venture and private equity allocations to align with the family's ability to fund capital calls without disrupting lifestyle or business operations.
E321: Why Most LPs Have No Idea What’s in Their Portfolio
Q: How does your platform change the day-to-day for LPs and their teams?
It automates data collection from multiple portals, standardizes it, and provides dashboards and insights so teams can focus on strategy, allocations, and capital planning rather than manual data wrangling.
E319: GP Stakes Investing: Liquidity, Alignment, and the Real Risk
Q: How much of your deal sourcing is push versus pull, i.e., solving a GP's problem versus selling a partnership?
The product is bought, not sold; Cantilever emphasizes that capital must address a real need and be aligned with the GP's plans, with conversations typically lengthy and focused on fit and timing.
E319: GP Stakes Investing: Liquidity, Alignment, and the Real Risk
Q: Is there an 80-20 rule to why GPs are looking to sell a stake and what are the main reasons for deals?
Deals fall into three buckets: Growth Capital to accelerate the business, Capital Restructure including retirements or transfer considerations, and Taking Money Off the Table to provide liquidity for principals, with growth capital being the largest use.
