All Sides of the Capitalist Table w/David Weisburd @ How I Invest
Lessons from my early career experiences
I joined David Weisburd on the How I Invest podcast to talk about something I rarely discuss publicly: my time as an LP at the Cornell endowment. It’s where I first learned to spot the behavioral tells of world-class talent and how to take calculated risk.
As I often say, I’ve sat on every side of the capitalist table — LP, founder, and now solo GP — and each perspective informs how I’ve built Also Capital. David and I talked about:
GPs I backed at Fund 1 and how that experience shapes how I run Also Capital today;
How we define “edge” in investing;
Our amateur pilot fund;
Why resource constraints force focus and catalyze greatness, and, of course…
Building a department store on Mars.
It was a great conversation, and I can’t thank David enough for his thoughtful questions. Always fun to dig into the craft!
