We do not see everything, and we are always looking for exceptional people who can expand our coverage area as a scout both for the media business and for the fund.

Our definition of somebody with “access” is somebody with unique access to other networks and proximity to currently underpriced outlier individuals. That could include things like:

• A student-athlete network at Stanford, Harvard, Michigan, or similar

• An early-employee (first 10 hires) at a high-growth Series B+ company

• A former scout at Sequoia, Lightspeed, a16z, or similar

• A second-time founder

• A YC, Mucker, or HF0-backed founder

• Somebody else with a non-linear career path

Sharing your thoughts on the internet is one of the most asymmetric bets that you can make, and we enjoy being around people who have collected dots, connected dots, and shared their work online.

Here are some examples of guest posts that we have shared in the past:

• family offices in VC: A primer on family offices, the pros and cons of working with FOs, how to work with these people, and how VCs should think about family offices

• 1000x leverage: Using code, content, capital, and your network

If you have unique thoughts on:

• Private markets

• Investing

• Company-building

• Trends and where the world is heading

We’d love to hear them and feature you as a guest poster.

Apply: Shoot me a DM on X (here’s my profile). The more thoughts you already have shared there, the better.

One thing we have noticed about some of our favorite newsletters is that they have mastered the rented audience game.

We have become great at managing a newsletter. We are NOT great at managing socials.

LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok - all of these are currently not optimized, and we feel like we are leaving attention on the table by not having somebody focusing on these day-in and day-out..

We are not looking for half-assed “social media management”. We want somebody who is a master at repurposing content, and can take all of our social channels to the next level.

Access to talent is a moat, we built our search business under this simple idea, and we are constantly looking for people who can act as recruiters (and get paid for making intros).

Good recruiters come in all shapes and sizes, but great recruiters usually have the following traits:

• A love of talking to people: You will be constantly talking to people, hearing their stories, and finding ways to help.

• The ability to constantly be 3-6 months ahead: Knowing who is raising funds, who is about to hire, who is not quite looking yet but will be in a quarter - all of this knowledge is rewarded in this role.

• Acting as a router: If you are already known for connecting the dots and introducing people, chances are you will be okay at the recruiting game.

Bonus points if you have previously worked in the search business.

For the media business, capital comes in the form of sponsorships.

Managing sponsorships is a full-time job, and we are looking for somebody who can manage things start to finish, attract new business, and get compensated for what you bring in.

Here’s what all that entails:

• Sponsorship sales: You’ll be building relationships with potential sponsors, developing a pipeline, creating customized sponsorship packages, and negotiating terms and pricing.

• Sponsorship management: Getting new sponsors is half the game; retaining them is the other half (and the easier half). You will help bring existing back, and you will get paid for every sponsor retained.

• Custom requests: There are LOTS of ways to make money with a newsletter, and you will help explore new opportunities to monetize by gathering and implementing feedback from companies who want to work with us. Email blasts, webinar invites, in-person events, and custom content are all some ideas that have been floated by us in the past.
