Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E30: Sunil Dhaliwal, Founder of Amplify Partners on Lessons from 27 Years in VC
Q: Why do you emphasize the platform team and hands-on go-to-market support for portfolio companies?
Because the early-stage advantage comes from enabling founders to move from idea to product quickly, and that requires practical, hands-on help with recruiting, go-to-market, content, and brand—things that accelerate product-market fit much more than simply providing capital alone.
E30: Sunil Dhaliwal, Founder of Amplify Partners on Lessons from 27 Years in VC
Q: How does Amplify approach fundraising differently for a brand-new fund compared to a more established one?
Fundraising for a new fund is a search problem, not a sales process. You need to meet predisposed believers in your vision, clearly articulate your thesis, and build trust over time through consistency and transparency.
E30: Sunil Dhaliwal, Founder of Amplify Partners on Lessons from 27 Years in VC
Q: What was the market like when Amplify started, and why did you choose to focus on enterprise infrastructure and technical founders?
It was a sparse landscape with a clear gap for firms focused on enterprise-grade, technically deep startups. We believed the best leaders were the ones who truly understood the problem space and could execute deeply in technical domains, which aligned with our thesis and has driven our investments for years.
E26: Matt Ocko, Cofounder DCVC on Lessons from 30+ Years in DeepTech Venture Capital
Q: Can you share a memorable example of a deep-tech bet that demonstrates the 10x or 100x mindset?
Latus represents a stark example: a neurobiology and AI-driven approach to gene therapy and neurology that could dramatically outperform traditional pharma timelines and cost structures, illustrating the kind of 10x–100x improvements sought in deep tech investments.
E26: Matt Ocko, Cofounder DCVC on Lessons from 30+ Years in DeepTech Venture Capital
Q: How do you assess markets and the role of great-man dynamics in tech successes?
Markets are dynamic; great-man leadership is important but not sole determinant. Successful ventures rely on a network of senior people and strong teams around the core leaders, capable of turning vision into scalable, durable outcomes.
