Solo Episode: My Fund Thesis - Backing Elephants, Not Unicorns
About this episode
This week we chat about the investing thesis that our host, Erica Wenger, has crafted for her venture fund! She's backing the next generation of elephant companies (not unicorns) and she walks explains the thesis here in her foundational essay.
She shares why every VC (and even founder too!) should craft a thoughtful long-form foundational essay with a unique, clear point of view. It's not easy to be differentiated in an industry with so many businesses and so many funds, so it's essential to craft your own terminology and stand out from the crowd. Erica walks through the process of writing the essay with an amazing collaborator and her plans for the future of writing content.
For anyone going out to fundraise (whether they're a VC or a founder) or anyone looking to kickstart their investing career as an angel or LP, this episode is for you!
