E5: Jonathan Hsu | Co-Founder of $1.6B AUM Tribe Capital on What Data Shows is Product Market Fit

E5 • Aug 14, 2023 • 29 mins

David Weisburd sits down with Jonathan Hsu, Co-Founder and General Partner of Tribe Capital and one of the top data scientists in the space. Hsu is a physicist-turned tech entrepreneur-turned VC. In this episode, they discuss the importance of growth patterns and product market fit (PMF) in venture capital. Tribe conducts intensive data work on approximately 400 companies annually, a unique dataset that cannot be purchased or obtained from other sources.

Key Points

  • Focusing on the pattern of growth and product market fit, rather than just the founder or team, is crucial for long-term success in venture capital.
  • Using data-driven analytics can significantly enhance decision-making by allowing firms to thoroughly evaluate hundreds of companies annually, ensuring they focus on the most promising opportunities.
  • The venture capital landscape is evolving to include more specialized firms like Tribe Capital, which leverage first-party data and advanced analytics to provide deep insights and value to both portfolio companies and limited partners.
