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

And I'm not as familiar with that.

But Web3 and crypto was its own unique animal.

And there was a lot of retail interest around it, speculative interest.

And the market was playing into that.

So for us as institutional investors, when we would see those marks and who was setting them, I think you automatically have to discount whether that's a true value or not.

And as you can imagine, where we sit, we get lots of points of feedback, whether it's from the general partners that are investing and sometimes they don't all agree on the things that they tell us.

But also as part of our underwrite, we are actively

like in the market referencing with CEOs all the time.

And our references are more on firms and partners.

But in those conversations, there's other signals that you get, which are probably the most valuable pieces that we get from the references.

And so to be able to triangulate or gather all of that information so we can be more informed on how we underwrite an individual deal, I think is definitely something that we use to our advantage.

Even to your partner attribution question, I might be talking to a CEO about one firm and one partner, but on that call,

that CEO might reference another partner in another firm frequently.

And that's a good signal for me to know that firm and that partner are value-added investors in the company.

Yeah, so underrated in a lot of ways.

I think there's a lot of nuance in a reference.

And unless you do a lot of them,

you missed the signal, right?

Because I know when I give a reference on somebody, I'm never going to give a bad reference because it doesn't do me any good to do it.

But there's probably some other feedback in that conversation that's very subtle, but very, very important.
