How I Invest with David Weisburd · E408: HarbourVest: Why Venture Capital Is Chasing Trillion-Dollar Companies · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

I think in venture, yes, the fundraisers are shorter.

You have to move quicker.

So in order to do that, you need to be informed on

the universe of companies that you have interest in.

Yeah, I think so.

So if you pick those hundred companies that we're talking about, let's say that's your universe, you better have a buy list on those hundred companies before you ever see the deal.

And then your decision is, do you like the valuation or not?

Yeah, you have to.

I mean, there is a saying in the market, it's not...

necessarily the firm, it's the partner that you're investing alongside.

And it was part of our underwrite.

Obviously, every firm has a great franchise and a great brand.

But as part of our deal underwrite, we do partner attribution so we can identify who

the rainmakers are in the firm, maybe who the emerging partners are who have emerging track records, and frankly, those that have been the laggards who have not produced the same types of returns as their partners might have.

So I think there's a few answers there.

One, they may not, right?

Once you've been around long enough where you can measure your- They might be having the same partner attribution and seeing the same thing you're looking at.

I think so.

But it takes a long time to figure out who's good versus who's bad.

And sometimes you get it wrong.
