E6: Steve Chasan | Head of Investments - Rothschild Foundation on how GPs Can Navigate the VC Reset
David Weisburd sits down with Steve Chasan, the Head of Investment at the Rothschild Foundation and for other philanthropic endowments led by Lord Jacob Rothschild. In this episode, they go deep into the LP mindset, covering the best practices he looks for in GPs and emerging managers, whether pricing discipline exists in VC, and describing the conversations LPs are having internally that GPs never get to hear.
Key Points
- Pricing discipline is crucial in venture capital, as overpaying for investments can significantly reduce overall fund returns.
- Effective diversification should balance risk and opportunity, avoiding over-diversification that leads to excessive fees and diluted returns.
- The current market reset presents attractive opportunities in sectors like deep tech and hard tech, where valuations remain reasonable and potential for innovation is high.
