OpenView’s Fall Underscores Where the VC Model is Broken

In the latest episode of The Cheat Code Podcast, hosts Justin Gray, Josh Wagner, and Sean Kester discuss what the fall of OpenView Partners means for Venture Capital and the startup world.

The trio share why OpenView is only the first domino to fall and why other VCs should be taking a hard look at their own standing as well. They highlight problems and hard truths that likely contributed to OpenView’s struggles, in addition to the need for investor expectations to change. Justin, Josh and Sean touch on their views for how VCs can evolve and landmines they can sidestep in order to get on more stable ground – and how this will benefit startups in the long-run.
