E46: Atul Rustgi of Accolade on What is LP Value-Add and Can it Lead to Alpha?

E46 • Feb 29, 2024 • 29 mins

Atul Rustgi sits down with David Weisburd to discuss his role as a GP & LP, the paradoxes of selling and building relationships in VC, and the strategy of focusing on funds under $100 million. They also delve into including biotech as a diversification strategy, the importance of blockchain and crypto exposure, family office investments, and the challenges and rewards of raising a fund during a market downturn.

Key Points

  • Being a thought partner and sounding board for GPs on various issues, from portfolio to partnership dynamics, is crucial in building strong relationships.
  • Maintaining a disciplined approach to fund size and portfolio construction allows for significant individual fund and company impact within a concentrated strategy.
  • Investing in emerging managers provides access to high-potential funds, but balancing this with established funds ensures a more consistent and reliable return over time.
