How I Invest with David Weisburd · E424: 32-Year Notre Dame CIO on Sequoia, Venture Capital & Concentration · 2 Sep 2026 podcast

And how did that turn into an edge as an investor? podcast-host

Reminds me a little bit of David Swenson's strategy, which was somewhat paradoxical. podcast-host

He wanted to do the right thing for Yale, he wanted to do the right thing for other LPs, and he also wanted to do the right thing for the GPs. podcast-host

And you might think, Well, how is that? podcast-host

How could you do the right thing for all the parties? podcast-host

But if if you structure things in such a way, it could actually be a win win win for for all parties. podcast-host

Oftentimes in Notre Dame, Endowment was early in a manager and you provided that signal that GP so desperately needed. podcast-host

And you chose not to hammer people on the terms. podcast-host

Why? podcast-host

Reflecting back on podcast-host

Premium carry. podcast-host

Obviously at the time you had no issues paying it. podcast-host

But looking back, did those investments end up on that basis in a better situation than than non premium carry? podcast-host

And in retrospect, was that maybe the wrong decision with a perfect hindsight? podcast-host

And rather than negotiating fees in a lot of these situations, you negotiated capacity, right? podcast-host

Tell me about that. podcast-host

Is there an economic rationale for staying small? podcast-host

In other words, there's more durability in that kind of business, or is it purely doing right for investors? podcast-host

Actually, once saw a graphic on management fees and venture specifically, and the small funds had 2.5%, and then the very large funds had 2.5%. podcast-host

Everybody in the middle was like 2%, and some were like 1.5% with concessions. podcast-host
