venture capital and perspectives on funding and venture capital (VC)
WTF VC by Slow VC’s Sam Lessin - great assessment of what’s going on in early 2025.
First, most venture capital firms use antiquated business models that prevent them from being able to move quickly, reach scale, and establish strong competitive moats. Most venture firms are built on a partnership model, like law firms.

Dunbar actually doesn’t say that we devote “grooming time” to the whole social group of 150. Rather he says that the 150 is made up from welding together much smaller “primary networks”: coalitions, friendship groups. Intensive grooming (language, for humans) is reserved for close friends. Our intimate group is very small, averaging just five.
