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

Look, this plays both ways.

So...

You can look at some exits that happened last year that were very notable.

Klarna, $15 billion value at IPO.

I think it trades below $10 billion now.

There was a private market financing in Klarna that valued at $50 billion.

And there were investors that sold into that financing.

So that was a 10x decision, but it was a 10x decision.

Yeah, exactly.

So this is where I honestly feel investors like us really earn money.

are keep.

These are hard decisions and they're super consequential.

I can go back at my 27 years at HarborVest and I can honestly say I've probably made thousands of decisions, investment decisions along the way, but

The ones that are like super consequential, I can count on two hands.

SpaceX, unlike many companies, was systematically doing tenders every six months for probably the last five years.

So there was price discovery that was happening.

It's my understanding that the liquidity that was being provided in those tenders was actually coming from

A lot of it was coming from insiders.

So when those that are closest to the company are the ones that are buying up the shares, I think that sends another positive signal beyond just the fundamentals of the underwriting.

I would have never guessed Roblox could have become what it's become, but I'm familiar with investors that were in that company early on.
