Summary
What if the best opportunities in venture today aren’t in new deals—but in existing companies right before an inflection point? In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Moore, Founder of Revenant VC and longtime venture investor, to discuss why he made the shift from primary venture investing to secondaries after more than two decades in the industry. Ryan explains how longer liquidity timelines are reshaping venture capital, why secondary investing is less about discounts and more about information asymmetry, and how founder relationships and insider alignment create the best opportunities. We also explore organizational metabolism, LP evolution, and why small, focused funds may outperform in a world dominated by mega-platforms.
