  1. #68 New VC Fund Playbook + Model Downloads @ Streamlined.Fund: “After meeting thousands of PE/VC fund managers and investing in hundreds, I was able to build my own VC fund playbooks, fund budgets, and fund models that aggregated best practices, organization, and insights. Recently, I partnered with my old friend Eddie Duszlak to take all those learnings and streamline them into one place, Streamlined.fund. We’d appreciate if you check it out and share with someone who may benefit from it! You’ll find all of our free models / budgets there, as well as some souped-up versions and our new VC Fund Playbook.”

The reality is that most firms are trying. However, becoming more data-driven and efficient takes time and commitment to new tools, new processes, and execution.

  3. #72 What LP's Are Thinking About VC Right Now: Where is the world going and what does that mean for my investment portfolio? That is the general question all types of investors are asking right now! We’re reading headlines and digesting macroeconomic / industry data to understand what it all means for our various investment strategies.
