Ever wonder what drives top LPs in the VC world? 🤔 Hint: It's not just about the returns...💡 I'm thrilled to share a sneak peek of this week's podcast episode featuring Aakar Vachhani, Managing Partner at Fairview Capital Partners. With over $3.5B AUM and a 17-year tenure, Aakar brings a wealth of insights on emerging managers in VC. What struck me most was Fairview's mindset: 'Waking up every day to prove people wrong is just a big motivator for us, and we're just obsessed with our work.' As a GP, this energy is infectious! It's inspiring to see an LP so passionate about backing emerging managers and fostering diversity in the industry. In the episode, we discuss: - The evolution of Fairview's approach over the past 15 years - Why they're bullish on emerging managers, especially in today's market - How they identify funds with great culture (it's not just about track records!) - Their thoughts on the future of AI in VC Whether you're an LP, GP, or just curious about the inner workings of VC, this episode offers valuable perspectives on building long-lasting partnerships in the industry. Stay tuned for the full episode dropping later this week! 🎙️

Thanks, Aakar Vachhani for sharing your story and the story of Fairview Capital! I think the only thing we missed on this episode was 5 minutes about how awesome Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management is!

It’s not just about spotting a deal with flaws. It’s about recognizing those flaws AND having the skills or resources to turn them around. The big guns – private equity groups, venture capitalists, family offices, and the ultra-rich – can spot a good deal from a mile away. But if it looks like too much work, they’ll pass. That’s your golden opportunity. New podcast is out now: https://lnkd.in/gfSA2SDk
