This is why we started Table for Ten ventures: - Get more operator investors and tech executives involved in startups - Educate new Angel investors into getting onto the right deals - Help founders assemble strong board members - Have more tangible experience at the forefront - Improve founder transparency of deal flow - Reduce exclusivity The last one is the most important one for us. And it shouldn't be a surprise that we're making dinners and The Club central to this. When you put relationships and values first, strong early investments can happen. Experienced or new Angels, hit the link in the comments and come along to one of our first dinners!

No body, i repeat, nobody owes you anything.

The startup landscape is evolving, thanks to ample private capital reshaping the journey from inception to IPO. Secondary markets offer liquidity without the IPO fuss, but eventually, the gravity of public markets beckons. 💰 Private capital buys time, but public markets offer scale. 📈 Secondary markets sustain growth, but IPOs provide the ultimate liquidity. 💡 Balancing private incubation with public listing is key for sustainable innovation. You see a future where startups thrive on both sides of the funding spectrum.

Among other reasons, a key reason for the below trajectories is the relative development of a domestic venture capital ecosystem which is relatively immune to global waves. Another reason why 🇮🇳 needs to keep building our bedrock of domestic venture capital to support startups -- financial institutions, family offices, HNIs.

After interning at Blackstone in 2007, Michael Rudin, a fourth-generation member of NYC's real estate empire, joined the family business. Today, he serves as the Co-CEO of Rudin Capital Management, which has over 700 employees and operates 35 properties in the Big Apple. Michael discusses Rudin Ventures, the family's alternative investing arm, which made early bets on VTS, Latch, and others. He explains why incumbents struggle to disrupt, how Rudin's real estate portfolio mitigates the volatility of startup investments, and whether AI can disrupt the industry. In this conversation, Michael also breaks down how the innovation and change brought about by Local Law 97 might be an exercise in futility. Catch the full chat via the link in the comments!

New VCs aren't joining the game. First time VC investments are at an all time low. While this is not ideal for some startups who will have less access to capital it's a long term positive for the entire industry. Things got way too hot a few years ago and too many new VCs piled in, raising valuations to a point where ROI was near impossible on some deals. I feel like every celebrity had their own fund. Now we're probably over-correcting on the other side, but hopefully will find market equilibrium soon. We're seeing consistent demand increase for our portfolio companies deals since the nadir.
