For episode #16, I chatted with, I chatted with Avlok about how the startup funding ecosystem is changing, the geographic future of Silicon Valley, the launch of rolling funds, which have taken the venture industry by storm, and the launch of my seed fund, Paradox Capital, which is managed on the AngelList platform. Prior to joining AngelList, Avlok was a repeat founder. One of his startups, Fastbite, was acquired by Square in 2015.
You might be asking: what is a rolling fund? A “Rolling Fund” is a new type of investment vehicle that allows fund managers to invest in private companies at their discretion ion behalf of investors (often referred to as “limited partners”), who contribute to the fund on a quarterly subscription basis. A few of the benefits of rolling funds are the ability to continuously fundraise, more flexibility to fund managers and LPs and the ability to do marketing publicly around your fund.
This was a very informative discussion and it got me really excited about the future of building, operating and investing in startups.I hope you enjoy this conversation with Avlok Kohli.
