Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy · Ramtin Naimi - Building Abstract - [Invest Like the Best, EP.435] · 29 Jul 2025 podcast

So I don't think we're high volume today by any means.

But as again, people tend to stick to old narratives and people will say that we're high volume and they're all call options, which I just would say is not true.

I think Gagosian has a really cool story.

He was a total outsider with no relevant pedigree.

And he was kind of just dismissed his first few years or first decade until he ultimately became the leading guy in the category.

Now, I'm

far, far, far away from that.

And I think Silicon Valley is a more friendly place than the art world.

Silicon Valley has been nicer to me than maybe the art world was to Larry Gagosian in the early days.

So I don't want to draw the direct analogy, but I think the main thing is just staying consistent and maintaining the reputation and building upon that reputation and then producing great results.

Venture is the only asset class where historical results is somewhat indicative of future performance.

You can actually somewhat forecast how a venture capital firm will do over time based on how they've done historically.

So I do believe if we just stay consistent, we have a pretty long trajectory and a long career ahead of us.

I'm 34 today.

I started this when I was 26.

I think I have at least 20 years left in me to keep doing this.

And I think you could build quite a brand and quite a platform in that timeframe.

I think brand would trump anything else that the machine doesn't have today, primarily because when a founder comes referred to us by an existing portfolio company, most of the work is done for us.

You're not going to find much about these guys online, but they've been phenomenal partners to me.

They've opened doors for me.
