How do you balance power-law outcomes with real risk management while building a durable venture franchise? In this episode, I speak with Mark Peter Davis (MPD) — Managing Partner of Interplay, entrepreneur, author, podcaster, and one of New York’s most active early-stage investors. We discuss how Mark’s philosophy of investing has evolved over 20 years in venture, why VC psychology is so different from other asset classes, and how he manages for both outliers and consistency across vintages. Mark breaks down secondaries, constructing high-access portfolios, founder relationships, narrative risk, the role of operational support, and why grit compounds just like interest.
