    The Crash Course: How Collide Capital is Building a Generational Firm to Back Founders Who Deserve It

    What does it actually take to build a venture capital firm that lasts 20 years?      Brian and Aaron, co-founders of Collide Capital, sit down with Due Dilly to break down the unglamorous, strategic, and deeply intentional work behind  building a generational VC firm — not just a fund. From  cold-emailing the CIO of UC Regents (and sending a thousand emails nobody responded to) and  building a nonprofit that has graduated 300+  Black undergrads into Goldman, Apple, and Spotify — this episode is about what it means to show up before you have capital, credentials, or proof.   In this episode, we get into:   The proof-of-concept portfolio that made their first institutional raise possible  Why Brian will pass on any founder he suspects is working on two things  Aaron's framework for finding founders with trauma-rooted obsession — and why that predicts a decade of focus better than pedigree   Collide's internal metric: iteration velocity — and what it tells them about a founder    How they think about the AI era (hint: they've seen this movie before)  The Collide Campus program — from undergrad scouts to a Stanford-backed accelerator  Why endosymbiotic theory might be a better model for venture than survival of the fittest     Collide Capital backs founders at the collision of different backgrounds, ecosystems, and lived experiences. They manage 75+ portfolio companies and have been backed by some of the most respected allocators in the industry. 📧 Email us: podcast@duethedilly.com Follow us on Instagram and LinkedIn 📺 Leave a comment on YouTube The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to, constitute legal advice; instead, all information, content, and materials available on this podcast are for general informational purposes only.
