In a 6% interest rate environment, the guest believes locking up capital for ten years in private startups makes little sense when public markets offer instant liquidity, massive dislocations driven by retail momentum, and AI tools that democratize institutional-grade analysis.

- ✓Increased retail participation in public equities
- ✓Outperformance of active public stock-picking strategies relative to private VC vintages
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸High market volatility impacting public equity portfolios
- ▸Venture capital valuations correcting to attractive levels
