David Zhou not too long ago featured Lisa on his Superclusters Podcast, and it’s an ideal hear for anybody within the enterprise of Being a VC or Backing VCs.
Having been lucky sufficient to rent Lisa to run Screendoor, I’m after all biased on this endorsement. However it’s not simply me – as David leads with when referring to the backchannel analysis he did on Lisa for the interview: “the variety of raving followers you have got within the LP ecosystem is phenomenal!”
