E72 • Jun 18, 2024 • 36 mins

Jamie Rhode sits down with David Weisburd to discuss Screendoor’s strategy of backing emerging managers. In addition, they discuss friction points between LPs and emerging managers, leveraging insights from GPs and LPs in manager selection, and how to diligence a first time fund.

Key Points

  • Investing in early-stage venture funds that support founders with unique perspectives and strong self-belief is crucial for capturing significant returns and creating new sectors.
  • Emerging managers face significant friction in the market, including challenges in identifying and securing LPs, and must navigate complex operational and track record requirements to succeed.
  • Building a diversified portfolio with a mix of sectors and networks, while ensuring low reserves and strategic follow-on investments, is essential for maximizing the probability of capturing outlier successes in venture capital.
