How I Invest with David Weisburd · E403: Why the Best Investment Firms Stay Small | Sound Point Capital Founder · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

And we were competing with a handful of other firms, none of which were founder-run at that point.

And I looked at the CIO of...

the potential investor.

And I said, at the end of the day, the star of the show in this meeting is the portfolio manager whose team will deploy your capital.

But I will tell you,

You're giving us capital for a number of years.

In those years, there'll be an event, whether it's exogenous, whether it's idiosyncratic, there'll be an event or there'll be something that you need from us and maybe a change.

You'll have a question, you'll have a comment, you'll have a complaint.

And so here's the way I think about it.
