First in person catchup with Ron Park of NE Tech. Of course it was an early morning breakfast at Reuben Hills. This guy smashed it at last night’s sellout @startmate Demo Day. Doing special things with oil. #fasterbettercheaper #oilsaintoils

Post @blackbirdvc distribution splurge survey: 0 lambo, 0 jet, 0 boat, 1 soccer team and 2 $680 hoodies. The biggest HT goes to @rcsbaker @nikiscevak @wbartee for gathering together 100 or so misfits and believers all those years ago. Changed the ecosystem.

Cannot underscore how important Integrity is when it comes to people. Probably the most important attribute IMHO.

@bielinko @liubinskas For a moment I thought I had @bielinko in a rear naked choke for a GP submission but our long standing friendship prevailed thru a common view of being confused by investors who would talk down their portcos to prospective investors but then go on to be a unicorn.

@bielinko @liubinskas Agree the sweet spot for a solid DPI is in the sub $100m fund mark. May be too early to know but I wonder what portion of these 140 funds will achieve more than 3. I’m over TVPI.

@apglo @liubinskas I think they are different strategies and many are succeeding with $10-100m funds where it is easier to earn a sensible MM (many I know have paid back their funds). A $1b fund just in Oz is underwriting a Canva every few years so wouldn't expect many in Oz.

Crazy idea. Take 0.01% of super funds - $350m Put $5m into 70 new fund managers that align to big themes of future industry (climate, AI, health, quantum) Get them to raise $5m+ matching privately (as ESVCLP's maybe) Give them 15 years to make it work.

@apglo @liubinskas I hope not, as it will mean less "unusual" companies/founders get funded. But there are fewer barriers to entry in early stage VC than for eg in banking, telco or insurance. It's hard to solve. I see a lot of smaller firms doing well but not having much resource nor marketing

@bielinko @liubinskas This is why we need to continue to build a broader technology and innovation ecosystem. Understanding that these other sectors within them are different - models, GTM, timelines, return profiles. Need operators & investors that understand this and build industries not just firms.

@bielinko @liubinskas This is kind of exactly is the point. What were smaller AU funds that have grown up with larger fund sizes that can only cut large cheques for it to make sense. No doubt they are important to have a full ecosystem but this is why TV and others can’t sate the early stage opps.

@bielinko @liubinskas IMO there are many small funds / GPs today that you could say are sub scale but don’t bring any differentiated approach. No differientated thesis or proprietary deal flow. But thematic focused funds have it tough too bc depth too shallow. Not an easy one to solve.
