The LP Perspective: Alex Bangash

Village Global Podcast - A podcast by Village Global

Categories:

Alex Bangash (@AlexBangash), founder of Trusted Insight, joins Erik as part of our LP series.They talk about:- The myth, according to Alex, that there are such things as “good pickers” in venture.- The fact that in venture, the traditional investment model is turned on its head — assets are picking managers, rather than the other way around. - Why “the structural advantage of the big funds has all but disappeared” and why he cringes when someone tells him they want to be the next Benchmark.- How he is trying to disrupt the entire venture model by democratizing access to capital.- Why he’s bullish on the studio model and which kinks still need to be worked out.- Where the next big thing in VC will come from.- What he means when he says he’s “trying to bring a tennis racket to a basketball game” when talking about whether star GPs could be thought of as analogous to big NBA free agents.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.
