The most aligned with @BoostVC podcast I have listened to. Still wonder why more don’t copy this model. - seeing > picking.- 50+ deals a year.- being in winner > ownership.- individual conviction > partner vote.- calendar mostly founder meetings.- say yes First.- collab w/ VCs.

Thought on Bio after 10 years of crypto investing. Our biggest @BoostVC crypto win was @coinbase. In the wild west days, every exchange avoided regulators, except Coinbase. Running toward regulation became the contrarian bet. In Bio, it’s flipped. Everyone’s ruled by.

Had 9 Biotech pitches in the last 24 hours. Easy to be optimistic on the future of Bio after talking to the founders building it. Feels like the biggest gap between quality of founder and capital in today's VC market.

Today we returned another 0.42x of cash back to LPs in Fund 1. @BoostVC Fund 1 ($38m & 2016 vintage) now sits at 4.35x DPI. What Fund 1 pitch looked like 10 years ago:.- Accelerator for 'Emerging Technologies' (have since rephrased to First Money into Deep Tech).- 100+.
