The New Rules of Venture: What Next-Gen LPs Should Know First

A Swimming with Allocators Episode

This week on Swimming with Allocators, Alexa and I welcome Iliana Oris Valiente, a Fortune 500 corporate executive, independent LP, and founder of the Venture Forward Institute.

This conversation is for the next generation of LPs, but it is also useful for GPs who want to understand how capital allocators are being formed today. Venture is full of unwritten rules, but the market is changing fast enough that the next generation cannot simply inherit the old playbook.

Iliana brings a thoughtful perspective on what new LPs need to learn first, and how they can build judgment without getting lost in the noise.
