"Venture Capital roles that allow you to work with founders often without being an investor👇 Aka Platform roles. Platform is focused on: - Post-investment founder support - Internal firm building XX% of VC firms have platform headcount up from XX% in 2009. In fact VCs that have Platform teams outperform those who do not. If you: - Want to work in VC - Build with founders - Craft internal firm processes - Cultivate community + more Without wanting to be an investor VC Platform is your answer.

"Here are the most active VC firms globally and in the U.S. as of 2Q25. As a founder it's important to know who is actively writing checks into startups. Given market conditions there are many "walking-dead" VC firms who don't have anymore dry powder to make new investments. On a first call founders should be asking: 1) What number fund are you on 2) How many more new investments will you be making out of that fund 3) Do you do follow-ons post this round These questions will give you a good sense of how much capital the VC has left for you and whether they write follow-on checks to support you"

"If an LP invests $25M into a VC fund ' . They actually invest small amounts over 3-4 years. These are Capital Calls. Heres how it works 👇 When an LP invests in a VC fund theyre actually making a commitment say $25M. But they dont wire that full amount upfront Instead as the GP finds and funds new deals they issue capital calls formal requests for LPs to send in their share of the capital (usually 10-25% of their commitment at a time). Over a funds investment period (typically 3-4 years) the GP will call down most of that committed capital. Early calls fund new portfolio companies. Later"

"VC hack: You can operate like a General Partner without a VC fund. And you only need $1K to start. Thats where angel syndicates come in the easiest on-ramp into venture investing. Heres the simple version: A lead investor finds a startup. They open the deal to others. Everyone invests smaller checks (as little as $1K). All the money is pooled into an SPV a single entity that shows up as one investor on the startups cap table. Its basically a crowdfunded VC deal. And syndicates have changed the game for both investors and founders. For investors You pick deals individually. You dont need to be"
