When I think of who I would want to sit down any aspiring LP for my venture fund with for a cup of coffee, the answer is easy - David Zhou. His perspectives on the segment of the market that I invest in are easy to understand, smart and they make you look beyond the stuff you’re already reading and grow your skill set as an investor. Sometimes David’s interview answers can be a little bit dense but this one is a real goldmine. There is so much in here.

I really hope you enjoy this one, as well as the time-saving article at the end of the newsletter. We have a ton of great investor interviews lined up for the rest of the year, too.
