Insight
Lonsdale: Venture capital has high autocorrelation where winning firms keep winning
“Venture capital is a very interesting asset class is very high auto correlation for a lot of these different reasons. And so, so it's just a very big unfair advantage. Once you're winning, you kind of can keep winning if you do it right.”

Sep 30, 2019 negative
Insight
Founders hoarding 90 percent equity are not building investable venture-backed companies
“You can't just take a company and take 90% for yourself. And that actually means it's not really a venture company. It means it's something else that we wouldn't want to invest in.”
