Given the recent market sell off Grant and Hammad thought it would be a good opportunity to discuss their thoughts on the current venture landscape and how macro conditions impact the GP and LP ecosystem. We start off by quickly looking at the American Dynamism 50, which is an annual list of 50 companies highlighted that are supporting the national interest. From there the conversation shifts to the broader markets, LP liquidity needs, and potential shuttering of some non-performant firms.What starts off as an episode about current market dynamics shifts to one about lessons learned from athletics, venture, and life. We hope that the majority of this ends up being fairly evergreen, even if some of the examples discussed are more transient.In the words of the late Richard Machowicz, “Not dead, can’t quit!”🔗 Show Resource LinksGrant’s Not Dead, Can’t Quit tweetAmerican Dynamism 50🎙️ Podcast Links⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠X (FKA Twitter)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠🌀 About Motion BlurExploring what makes great companies and technologies work.
