20VC: Why VC is a Ponzi Scheme Today | Why Most VCs are Bankers | Why Big VCs Ruin Startups | Why Incentives in VC are Broken | Why American Dynamism is a Tool for VCs to Raise Money with Nick Chirls, Asylum Ventures

Yeah, I don't think they're going anywhere. I think they're probably in too big to fail territory.

There'll always be another dollar for them. So I don't think they're going anywhere. And I think this is our new reality. Now, I also think they provide an incredible opportunity for funds. Asylum would not exist without the big banks. Okay, so like the best comp that I often use, and we've talked about this, Harry, but I think the best comp is A24.

I'm actually grateful for the big banks in venture. I actually don't want them to go away because they actually provide our opportunity. They provide us an opportunity to provide an alternative to founders to that system. So artists have full control.

My view is that, as you know, there's a few that really matter.
