A VC: Musings of a VC in NYC

AUGUST 31, 2021

I am a fan of and a practioner of investing in risky assets. I believe you must take significant risk to earn significant returns. But I also am a huge fan of diversification when holding a lot of risky assets. It has been easier for USV to get into new sectors, like crypto and climate for example, knowing that we also have large positions in other parts of the early stage tech sector.

If you know me, you know I love creating videos. It’s one of the easiest, most efficient ways to reach your audience. It requires no editing, no proofreading, and no time spent at the keyboard trying to figure out what to write. Videos also perform really well. For the advisors we work with, we know that if we send out a blog post with a video, it will receive twice as many clicks as the same topic in text format.

My partner Albert has been writing a book in public over the last decade called The World After Capital. There have been alpha and beta versions which he has put out there, gotten feedback on, and revised. Yesterday he tweeted that he has now finished the book and will have it printed. That means I will read it again and you should too. If you want to read it online, you can do that here.

I backed this project to fund a creator space and coffee shop in Williamsburg Brooklyn this morning. As many companies make the decision to move to hybrid and remote workforces, we will need more of this kind of space to work in. I am excited to see entrepreneurs stepping in and filling that role. And I like to support them when they do. Email readers can see the video here.
