How I Invest with David Weisburd · E405: Why AI Has Made Venture Capital Harder (Not Easier) · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

That's exactly right.

And the uncomfortable truths get you to the right outcome, best outcome, you know, a lot faster.

And so-

None of us hide behind any of these things.

We say it out loud, and it's a really special thing.

It's warming my heart sitting here thinking about it.

So at Canaan, I learned how to be an early stage venture investor and private company board member, right?

That firm was- A lost art.

It's a lost art.

Indeed.

I started my career at a firm where every other month we're looking at pacing, looking at reserves.

So it's portfolio construction.

We have exposure to what segments.

Hey, Michael, you've deployed a little, you're deploying a little bit too fast.

Maybe we should slow down a little bit because the best investors in the world at the early stage have one to two huge ideas that they won't be able to sleep without.

And then

I really being a private company board member is just something that not everybody has the ability to do.

It requires an immense amount of patience and psychology.

And that has created me as a board member, you know, a lot of time before I invest founders, like, well, what kind of board member are you?

And I always say, I'm a chameleon.
