How I Invest with David Weisburd

Isn't that, especially if you have multiple companies like that, isn't that clearly you're skillful in picking even if you haven't had liquidity?

So I think there's almost this dogmatic view that unless you have literally returned cash, it's impossible to know whether somebody's good.

Isn't there a little bit of an overcorrection on that theory?

You're invested and you're now two years in.

What's a sign like I hit it out of the park?

How I Invest with David Weisburd

This is going to be a home run manager versus maybe the opposite, which is I made a mistake.

Kind of going back to what you said before about LP value-add, that's paradoxically what I see as one of the most value-add thing, which is patient capital.

which is it's very easy to raise in 2021.

It's very difficult to build a franchise today.

Therefore, it's LPs like Gem that have that long-term view, which is actually really LP value-add, which is I'm not going to force you to make short-term decisions in your portfolio just because I have DPI anxiety.

How I Invest with David Weisburd

I'm betting on you as a manager, and I want to see you be successful over long-term.

How I Invest with David Weisburd

Is that not kind of the greatest part of value-add?

How I Invest with David Weisburd

And if not, what are some other LP value-adds that you think are underrated?

How I Invest with David Weisburd

Can you double-click on that?

If it's not note-sharing, what is it that you're delivering to LPs, and what are LPs really hungry for in this market?

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E293: Inside GEM: How a $12.5 Billion Platform Selects Outlier Funds

And I think one of the most underrated aspects is being actively involved in the space.

GPs, just like LPs, have to pick their funnels.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E293: Inside GEM: How a $12.5 Billion Platform Selects Outlier Funds

They also have hundreds and they need to pick their couple dozen and where do you spend time?

How I Invest with David Weisburd

And upstream of that is who's actually investing, who's deploying capital.

How I Invest with David Weisburd

So being an active participant in a space is, I think, one of the most underestimated forms of value add, even though it's, I guess, before the investment even comes.
