Manage episode 397739421 series 2864121
Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.
As we continue to grow Venture Unlocked, we are now going to release short conversations highlighting a specific point of view of our guest. These points of views may come through a tweet, an article, or conversation, and our goal is to unpack these interesting views in short form.
Our first guest in this format is Ed Suh Founder and Managing Partner of Alpine VC.
Ed recently penned a tweet that I thought was interesting around the evolution of venture and the parallels to the industry to other asset classes such as private equity and hedge. I wanted to go deeper into his tweet, which we did during our short conversation. Hope you enjoy!
