Most venture funds with a track record like Founder Collective grow their fund size extremely quickly. A Fund I measured in the tens of millions of dollars leads to a Fund III or Fund IV eclipsing the half billion mark. Micah and his partners have bucked the trend and stayed small by choice. They have been validated by continued outperformance and the ability to focus on what they enjoy doing most, backing seed stage founders. Micah's path to VC is not uncommon. He is a 3x founder and his fellow FC partners worked with him in those operator trenches. That they got the band back together to start a VC fund is not uncommon, but the success and the approach of Founder Collective are rare. Tune in to this week's episode to soak up insights from Micah on investing, company building, and the current state of VC. He also goes deeper on a few subjects like starting a company with university IP - it's hard - and the rationale behind being a generalist investor. Per Micah - it's impossible to be an expert in everything.
