Listen now | Episode 84 Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.I’m excited to bring my conversation with Wesley Chan, founder and managing partner of his new fund FPV, where they recently closed an over-subscribed $450M Fund 1. Wes brings a very unique lens to the world from having worked closely with the founders of Google in 2000, to then making early-stage investments in 20 unicorns and 5 decacorns from 2009 to now through GV and Felicis Ventures, including Canva, Flexport, Guild Education, RobinHood, AngelList, Plaid, and Ring.During our discussion, we spoke about how he’s been able to have such a hit rate in his investing career, what being founder-friendly really means, and his time working with people like Sergey and Larry at Google as well as what he learned from Bill Campell. I really hope you enjoy our chat.
