E397: Why Venture Capital Is a Relationship Compounding Machine

from How I Invest with David Weisburd · host David Weisburd

What if the greatest edge in venture capital isn't having the biggest fund—but building the strongest relationships? In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Weil, Founder and Managing Partner of Scribble Ventures, to discuss how emerging venture firms can outperform by staying focused, collaborative, and relentlessly founder-centric. Elizabeth shares how she built Scribble into a $280 million venture platform by backing exceptional founders at the earliest stages, why venture is fundamentally a network effects business, and why staying authentic has become one of her greatest competitive advantages.
