The Pomp Podcast · How To Invest In OpenAI and Anthropic Before They Go Public | Ankur Nagpal · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

It's the same as if a fund invested in a company and the fund changed ownership.

However, the part that I think I, in retrospect, should have handled differently and messed up is I publicly posted, hey, we invested in Angero.

And Matt Graham, who's one of the founders and also pretty vocal on Twitter, effectively said, what the fuck?

You didn't invest in Angero.

Who are you?

What did you buy?

And that whole thing blew up and it turned into a little bit of a dispute on both sides, like what is Angero?

what is allowed, what is not.

I think we will see.

So again, my takeaway is I probably should have been clearer in what I communicated publicly, because again, we did eventually buy a stake in Inderal, but it was by buying out LPs in an SPV.

But I think the other thing, yeah, go ahead.

I will say, while we were looking at this, we were pitched so many Anduril SPVs that

I couldn't figure out what the hell was underneath.

Because again, on AngelList, when there's an SPV, we can see what's underneath.

But the multi-layer SPVs just show another LLC underneath.

And there's no way of actually coming to the bottom of that.

So even though we bought out LPs in an SPV, it was like an SPV that is on the cap table.

And I think that's a very important distinction because with USVC, we have a blanket policy that we're

going to not buy SPVs that are invested in other SPVs.

And you may think, wow, that's obvious who the hell would do that.
