Network is not a dirty word • TechCrunch
Hello and welcome back Equitya podcast about the startup business where we unpack the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
This is our Wednesday show where we dive into a single topic, think about one question, and unpack the rest. This week, Natasha request: What does venture capital look like today, and how is it changing? Alex and Becca jumped on the mic to discuss this and started by refreshing our latest article: “4 Perspectives on Unpaid Venture Internships.”
- We talked about three groups of adventure journeys: traditional routes, new wave and travel strategies. Each has its own pros and cons, and includes everything from a revolving fund to a true definition of a partner.
- We also cover more about the value of certain points on the ramp and if the network is the right thing to interrupt (or if based on its more track record)
- We tried not to use the Dormitory Room Fund too much, but chatting about why their $12.5 million fund run by unpaid students annoys us and other initiatives that we think are better for people trying to break into VCs.
