Customer Reviews
A look into the LP ecosystem
Hope you enjoy it!
Informative for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, startups, and venture capital
Full disclosure: I'm an associate at Sapphire Ventures. Also full disclosure, I listen to a lot of podcasts (currently subscribed to over 50 and counting). That being said, the topic that Nick and Alex have chosen to cover on this show is definitely something that is under discussed. These days, where everyone thinks about running their own startup, hearing about where all the funding really comes from is important, sobering, and puts the world a bit more in perspective.
Finally
A super opaque part of the startup ecosystem, finally brought to light. Fascinating listen.
