Nathan Fielder's next project is about you. He's been surveilling you for three years. Your home is rigged with hidden cameras, your phone lines are tapped. All of the meaningful relationships you've developed have been with paid actors. And you are probably going to jail

okay I’ll be honest I did not predict Travis Kelce becoming the Yoko Ono of the 21st century

What do top venture capitalists really think off the record?

Here at Newcomer we’ve established an unusual level of trust with venture capitalists — we’re skeptical enough to write truthfully about the startup industry and savvy enough to really listen to what smart investors are saying.

So we got together 25 of the VCs we respect the most — investors who aren’t afraid to say what they think (anonymously) — and interviewed them systematically about the top questions of the day. These investors include multiple current and former Midas List members, well-respected emerging managers, and other top general partners. Collectively they represent firms that manage more than $100 billion in AUM.

We’re excited to share the fruits of those conversations in the form of Newcomer’s VC Sentiment Report.

We spoke with each participant live over video chat for 30 to 45 minutes and collected 344 individual quotes for the report.

It's funny how all the MAGA people are doing this Haitian fearmongering when the person involved in this election who is most likely to have actually eaten a cat is clearly Robert F Kennedy Jr

calling january 6th “j6” like it’s a k-pop group is unfortunately soooo funny
