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

So as an investor, a great venture capital who's a great investor,

I think the money round is if you can go find those companies in that 1500 company universe that are going to matriculate to the 100 company universe.

And then look, when you go beyond that, you're talking tens of thousands of companies.

And that's where traditional venture is really how we've all defined it, right?

It's probably more the futurist that's investing in those types of ideas.

Is this a question about picking or is an access game at that point?

It's probably a little bit of both, right?

So I think the best brands in Silicon Valley are going to see the best deals and their challenges

to select the best deals, right?

There are some venture firms that would just will never see the deals.

And this is where brand matters, right?

But there's lots of great firms that have missed.

They saw the deal and they passed and they missed, right?

So first of all, in venture, when you combine those three things, it's a bit different than when you define them in private equity, for example, where I think they tend to be more verticals and are sometimes more mutually exclusive.

On the venture side, your goal is just to access the cap table of the companies that matter, the power law deals.

the best way you can.

And you can do it through those three entry points.

If you look at our fund investment strategy, that's where we're heavily indexing towards the early stage with the firms that have proven to be the firms that have defined success in the venture capital market.

I think you have to be, right?

What you want is economic interest in the short list of companies that matter.
