I'm starting a podcast focused on main aspects of running a venture fund (with emphasis on fundraising, building infrastructure, ops). Anyone have tips on great equipment, best practices?

Over the last few days, our team has had 200+ email and phone inquiries about the CARES act, and specifically around what it means for early stage VC backed startups. A lot of confusion out there, so here is what I know as of now:

Very impressive panel at the ⁦@firstrepublic⁩ CFO event talking about late stage fundraising! ⁦@brexHQ⁩ ⁦@KellyCaviglia⁩

So proud of my colleague @hanayang for putting on a fabulous event for female investors. Inspiring group and thrilled to see the group for the event grow 40pct from last year’s summit!!

[samir kaji @Samirkaji]

A great thing about growth is hiring new talent. Looking to grow our VC team in Palo Alto:

1) A strong EA to support 2 senior leads & help with business scale activities.
2) An analyst to support our VC/PE loan portfolio.

Let me know if you or someone you know might fit!
