This week we had on David Teten (@dteten) of Versatile VC.
Versatile is a different type of VC that focuses on capital-efficient startups. Of the Inc. 5000 companies, only 6.5% raised money from VCs and 7.7% raised from angels. Versatile is VC for the other 93%.
David Teten is the founding partner of the fund. On top of running the day-to-day operations at Versatile, he has built a media network covering many aspects of venture capital. Check out his blog (https://teten.com/) and his resources on the tech stack of VC, https://pevctech.com/ .
In this talk, we discuss:
How members of our community can work with Versatile VC
Opportunities within the VC tech stack
How VCs can mitigate career risk for themselves and for people working for their companies
Diversity and VC
