Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving weekend. Feeling extremely blessed and grateful for family and friends, and for Xu Talent’s clients ($1B+ AUM funds) and supporters.
As we head into the final month of the year, I’m hearing from many who are starting to pick up their heads. Terrific time in the market to explore something new!
I’m currently working with several VC firms primarily Seed through Series B+ on Investor and Partner/GP searches across SF and NYC.
The most common profiles include:
- Founders who have exited or are winding down, and exploring potentially a transition into Venture.
- Technical operators with strong business instincts who enjoy building relationships with founders and the broader ecosystem.
- Current investors (Venture & Growth), or current/former scouts for a VC firm.
If this sounds like you, I’d love to chat (link below).
Of course that’s your contention, you’re a new VC coming off a two year product stint at a Series C business. You just got done readin’ the blogs, probably Fred and Elad, maybe High Growth Handbook. You’re gonna be convinced of that until next month when..
Empathy does not necessarily = endorsement, it can, however, help us recognize someone else’s humanity that was taught to think very differently from us.

When @JamieSiminoff had the idea for @Ring he was trying to solve his problem of not being able to hear the doorbell while tinkering in his garage.
Jamie grew that side project into a massive company, and later sold it to Amazon for $1B. Listen: https://t.co/YKwEEfBn5t
In the UK, communities step outside their front doors to cheer for healthcare workers. And in California, a mom teaches her son a lesson in kindness when their neighbor is in need.
