Venture Capital

Are founders better at picking winning deals than VCs are?

We review a new fund, https://powerset.co/, and discuss the pro's and con's of the model.

Show Notes

Jake Zeller and Jonathan Swanson launched a new fund, somewhat unique, https://powerset.co/.

Their thesis is that founders are better investors than VCs.

From their site they say, "Based on our experience working with hundreds of top founders and VCs, we have reason to believe that a certain cohort of founders can be some of the best investors on the planet, both in terms of helpfulness to startups and returns they’ll generate."

The idea is successful entrepreneurs know other successful entrepreneurs.
