What do venture capitalists actually do?
Комедия
Venture capitalists do two things: (1) venture and (2) capital. But what does that actually mean?
Dan Toomey is back on the investigation beat in Good Work’s latest Case Study. Welcome to the Patagonia-clad, Allbird-rocking, Twitter-addicted terror dome.
Thanks to Sheel Mohnot, Erin Griffith, Turner Novak, Natasha Mascarenhas, and @vcbrags for their help unspooling the yarn of this important story.

This reporting SOMEHOW is both actually a fair evaulation of what the heck is happening with VCs (what they are, what the environment in their industry is like) while also being so entertaining that the 7 minutes fly by

They way you play with the frame, entering/exiting the shot, the cycling of locations. It reminds me of a Edgar Wright montage. You're blurred in the reaction shot to a blurred comment. I love it. All of it.

I came across your channel recently and I love your chaotic intros with the voice and the trench-coat 😂
Venture Capital actually started as a tactic where large military contractor corporations like RAND (and a lot of aerospace companies) would find small companies that were making products that had potential military applications, investing in them, and then using their relationships with the government to secure the companies they invested in with huge military contracts. That inception is really important when analyzing venture capital even today. Theyre still closely tied.
Wow, this is an incredibly succinct and effective breakdown. THANK YOU!
So this channel has actually become an authentic source of information. Brilliant.
The biggest secret in venture capital is that the best investment in a successful fund equals or outperforms the rest of the fund combined. - Peter Thiel

I love this channel so much.
I worked for a startup that paid the local news companies for stories/reports on how well they're doing, just to show investors that they're actually succeeding. The problem was the company was doing really bad and the CEO had no ides what he was doing, but the VCs never looked into how the company was doing because they had invested so much money into the company, that they turned a blind eye hoping they'd get a return on investment eventually. The start up world is very toxic, there's a lot of money to be made, but it's all just a house of cards waiting to fall.... especially if the CEO of the startup and VCs are in kahoots
