@Beezer232 @WillManidis Great pod. But how can the merchant banking model work in VC? Regulatory burdens, fee constraints, and adverse selection must make it hard to generate sufficient partner capital to invest meaningfully. What am I missing, @WillManidis?

@danprimack DPI in VC below 10% for the first time. What happens next?

[David Loucks @david_b_loucks]

@ThePeelPod @villi Great insights — appreciate the detail. One question… In terms of who gets the credit for a good deal and who’s accountable for a bad one, isn’t it as simple as finding out who had Board seats?

@micahjay1 Really appreciate your post on valuation and exit pathways. We are automating peers, IPO and M&A comps for 65,000 private companies. Would love to intro you to https://t.co/ZZdU5SlHTD.

@PeterJ_Walker @PeterJ_Walker, does your data pick up the bridge rounds that are embedded in these timelines — those funds which are invested to keep companies going until they can raise another discrete priced round?

[David Loucks @david_b_loucks]

@Jason We solve access to capital in VC.

For Companies, we reduce 6 months of prep to seconds, increase chance of success by 10x and speed outcomes by 4x.

For VCs, we reduce data costs by 100%, provide instant benchmarks on company performance and eliminate “cold” solicitations.

@jayyeh @StephNass 💯 You guys are doing a great service to the Founders and entrepreneurs you serve. They (and you…) are the essence of the better world to which we all aspire…

[David Loucks @david_b_loucks]

@jayyeh @StephNass testing has shown a 97% reduction in time and expense and 84% greater success….

[David Loucks @david_b_loucks]

@jayyeh @StephNass and then we automate the Company’s entire deal process…

[David Loucks @david_b_loucks]

@jayyeh @StephNass then we map those target lists against the Company’s own relationship network to power one-click warm introductions and referrals…

[David Loucks @david_b_loucks]

@jayyeh @StephNass … We generate target lists that are 90% statistically certain to contain a Company’s next lead investor…

[David Loucks @david_b_loucks]

@jayyeh Would be interested to learn about the service
