Logan Bartlett predicts tariff-induced corporate paralysis will trigger a US recession
“I think people are going to be stuck in this state of paralysis a little bit of like, what do we actually do right now? And inherently, I think that becomes self-fulfilling in the way that it's going to lead to a recession for us. I hope, again, I hope I'm wro…”
Logan Bartlett argues the Democratic Party is anti-growth and anti-capitalism

Bartlett: Sovereign wealth replaced pensions and endowments in mega VC funds
“I think if you talk to smart endowments or pension plans or stuff, they, they've definitely as fund sizes have gotten to three, four, five, six billion dollars. Like those people have raised eyebrows and maybe voted with their feet to either scale down or walk…”
Bartlett: VCs avoided real reckoning for 2021 excesses

Bartlett: LP prisoner's dilemma keeps private startup prices elevated

Bartlett: OpenAI Should IPO Soon to Capitalize on Market Demand
“If I were open AI, I would try to get out sooner rather than later. Right. Cause I think there's this demand both from
Institutional and retail to have exposure to some of these things. And if you look, I mean Palantir's where they're trading, and obviously th…”
Megafund 'relievers out of the bullpen' are driving up startup prices

Bartlett: Most AI equity value will probably accrue to Big Tech incumbents

Logan Bartlett praises Bill Ackman for publicly opposing Trump's new tariffs

Bartlett: Early-stage funding is largely uncorrelated with macro conditions

Bartlett: Private equity firms have institutional moats preventing spin-out competitors
“So if you're a private equity firm, if you're Apollo, or Blackstone, or BlackRock, or whoever it is, right, and you're this big entity the people within your firm can't really leave and compete with you, because there's so much institutional infrastructure aro…”
Bartlett: Individual VCs can easily spin out and raise $100M-$400M funds

Bartlett: Over-optimizing startup entry price signals doubt about ultimate outcome
“What I've realized is like price very rarely within some zone has mattered. And when I find myself iterating a little too much on on like, oh, I'll do it at this price versus that price. It probably says something about what I think the ultimate outcome for th…”
Logan Bartlett: VCs will keep investing despite downturn due to cash reserves

Logan Bartlett: Pete Hegseth benefits most from tariffs dominating the news
“You know the big winner in tariffs right now is Pete Hegseth, man. I we were all, we were talking about last week. Signal this, signal that. Is he in? Is he out? And now that is a long since forgotten thing. So I if there's anyone that I think deserves credit …”
