Season 4 is starting ! What's new.
Manage episode 319844420 series 2905492
It’s been a while since I have not published an episode on the podcast.
In fact the last one I published was on Dec 7th, with Maxime Hagenbourger, Founder & CEO of SorareData.
You may wonder, what have you been doing?
Since Q3 2021 you may have noticed that I started to publish more & more episodes about web3, crypto & NFTs.
It is not gonna be the new and only focus for Runway Series but this is definitely a space I have been exploring & intend to explore more in depth.
I however don’t want to explore this rabbit hole alone.
I want to share with you what I'm learning in the process.
What is to me the most efficient way to learn? By doing.
I'm happy to share with you that I'm building my own NFT Collection called the Beardy Punks. If you want to join me on the learning path, you can subscribe for free on beardypunks.com because I don't want to mix it with Runway Series, it is a different objective.
Staying just a bit on the NFT topic before moving to the other topic I want to share with you today, I definitely think that NFT are not just profile pictures to display on twitter, but are also very powerful as access passes or keys for members, readers, listeners.

Ok so now that we’re done with web3, crypto and NFT, let’s talk about the upcoming podcast series (available in full for premium members).
More and more startup founders and onboarding in their captable non traditional VC firms, in the form of solo-gp, via nano funds or syndicates.
Most of the time, these Solo-GP are operators-investors, meaning that they have a dual profile
- on one hand their run their startups or are part of a fast-growing startups as a key hire
- and on the other hand they are growing a deal flow and a community of founders & LPs which allows them to raise a nano-fund or develop a syndicate
We’re an increasing population of such Solo-GP.
Yet some of us have not launched yet, for various reasons
- Unsure about your value-add
- Unsure about how to structure it
- Unsure about quality & repeatability of deal-flow..
- .. and many other questions
That is why I am launching with the help of On Deck a short series to help you kickstart your thinking about becoming an operator-investor / solo-gp.
In this short series, you’ll understand
- how to identify you have a deal flow and how to nurture it
- the tipping point to launch as a solo-gp
- how to craft a compelling thesis
- how to build an LP community
- + so much more
If you’d love to learn more about how to become a solo-gp, you can subscribe to Venture Notes our private media platform where the series will be published shortly.
To conclude, I am myself building my own early stage investment syndicate called Olive Capital (olive-capital.co).
Starting next month, I will participate to VC LAB, a highly selective international accelerator for emerging fund managers with the objective to launch my first venture capital fund by 2022.
