20VC: Why VC is a Ponzi Scheme Today | Why Most VCs are Bankers | Why Big VCs Ruin Startups | Why Incentives in VC are Broken | Why American Dynamism is a Tool for VCs to Raise Money with Nick Chirls, Asylum Ventures

Nick Chirls is the Founder of Asylum Ventures, a new venture firm dedicated to the creative act of building companies; treating founders like artists, not assets. Asylum raised $55 million to invest $1-2 million in early-stage founders practising the art of making startups. Prior to Asylum, Nick co-founded Notation Capital, one of NYC's most successful pre-seed firms.

In Today's Episode with Nick Chirls We Discuss:

1. Why Venture Capital is Broken Today:

  • Why is VC a ponzi scheme today?
  • Why are most VCs sheep and have lost all creativity?
  • Why are most investors today incentivised to get dollars out of the door and not to make great investments?
  • Why are services functions within VC firms total BS?
  • Why do no VCs provide significant enough value to a company that it is needle-moving?

2. How to Make Money in VC in 2024:

  • What are the two ways to make money at seed in 2024?
  • Why do founders in unloved markets care more than those in hot markets?
  • Why will large institutions lose a ton of money investing in the large firms of today?
  • Why does Nick believe VCs should always sell when their founders sell shares?

3. Lessons from 3xing a Fund on One Check:

  • Why does Nick think about not purchasing preferred shares and only buying common shares?
  • Why does Nick believe that investing in competitive markets is stupid?
  • What does Nick believe are the conditions you must accept if you are doing a $5M on $25M seed?
