Great night bringing together Miami’s growing pet founder community 🐾
We’ve been excited to see more local founders building in the pet space, so it felt like the perfect time to get everyone around one table. Huge thanks to @annaskaya at @Ani__VC for co-hosting this dinner with us! 🥂
A fun evening of great conversations, shared learnings, and swapping best practices with people building across pet wellness, nutrition and diagnostics. Excited to see this community continue to grow.
Thanks to all the pet founders that attended!
First off: huge respect for @a16z and the effort behind their tech weeks. Love what they're doing and building community at scale is so freaking hard.
Genuine question: at what point does more events stop creating more value? As an attendee, scrolling hundreds of options can feel daunting and create weeklong FOMO.
Feels like there’s an interesting conversation around curation, quality, and helping people find the right rooms - not just more rooms.

Happy Easter, America. As you head off to church and celebrate with friends and family, the President of the United States is ranting like an unhinged madman on social media.
He’s threatening possible war crimes and alienating allies.
This is who he is, but this is not who we are. Our country deserves so much better.

a16z made a 312x return on Instagram.
$250k invested. $78 million returned. In under 2 years (!)
And it 𝑎𝑙𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑡 didn't matter.
a16z had raised over $1B+ across its funds. At $250k checks, they'd need 12+ Instagrams just to break even. One of the greatest venture bets ever made BARELY moved the needle bc they didn't own enough.
The lesson isn't about finding winners. It's about OWNING enough of them.
There are really only 2 ways to do that:
1/ Reserve enough follow-on capital inside your fund
The standard is 40-60% of fund size reserved for follow-ons. Most experienced GPs say 66% is closer to right. But here's the hard truth: most emerging managers don't reserve enough. They deploy 70–80% of the fund before raising the next one and by the time a winner breaks out, the dry powder is gone.
2/ Run a deal-by-deal SPV
Even when reserves are in place, fund documents often cap how much you can put into a single company. An SPV removes that ceiling. It lets you go back into a winner beyond what your fund structure allows and gives LPs direct, meaningful upside in your best bet instead of a diluted slice of a 30+ company portfolio.
Doubling down on winners isn't optional. It's where the returns actually come from.
89% of GPs expect SPV volumes to grow in 2025. Deal-by-deal SPV models are the #1 most anticipated investment structure for the next 3 years (CSC Global Outlook 2025).
The GPs who figure out how to own more of their winners, whether through reserves or SPVs, are the ones whose funds LPs will keep backing.
That's why I partner with @verivend - purpose-built payment infrastructure for private markets, built to help you close out on your SPVs fast and in your own way.
DM me or comment if you're interested in speaking with the Verivend team. Happy to make an intro 🤝
