Venture has plenty of content. What it lacks is candor and curiosity about the craft. Hosted by Earnest Sweat and Santosh Sankar, Carry On is focused on what building a firm actually looks like, not the highlight reel. Each episode breaks down the X's and O's of venture capital, traded openly between two GPs and a small circle of friends who live this work. From first funds to franchise firms, specialists to generalists. Learn more and subscribe at www.carryonpodcast.com.
