- Venture capitalists do two things: (1) venture and (2) capital. But what does that actually mean?
Dan Toomey is back on the investigation beat in Good Work’s latest Case Study. Welcome to the Patagonia-clad, Allbird-rocking, Twitter-addicted terror dome.
Thanks to Sheel Mohnot, Erin Griffith, Turner Novak, Natasha Mascarenhas, and @vcbrags for their help unspooling the yarn of this important story.

What do venture capitalists actually do? 
Приколы
What case study should we do next??
Dropshipping // eCom bros and what do they do could be a good one
What daytraders do
What do real estate agents/investors do?
Companies that swear on the Predictive Index for profiling their employees/candidates
what do executives do
Everything this man touches turns to gold.
He'd be a good venture capitalist then.
i can value add so hard
Eventually he will get to that with the free good news haven't you heard Jesus is coming
@@dhtoomey really vibing with the vibey vibes from this channel, good work
This reporting SOMEHOW is both actually a fair evaulation of what the heck is happening with VCs (what they are, what the environment in their industry is like) while also being so entertaining that the 7 minutes fly by
we love this comment
@@GoodWorkMB did I accidentally write your vision/key differentiator/guiding content principle verbatim here in the Good Lord's RUclips comments
My mind accidentally wandered during it but that's honestly more of an indictment on me than on the video.
@@FeedsNoSliesMusici have adhd so it self is more telling of me lol
True
hey, can I just say, you've 100% stumbled upon a winning format. I'd watch a video like this on virtually any topic.
Are you a venture capitalist willing to invest in this idea so that you can use this formatting franchise in a purchase?
I absolutely agree
Samesies
This man's format is so interesting that I would watch him do anything
hell yeah you're gonna love this 8 hour bugle solo we got coming up
@@GoodWorkMB 💀😭😭
@@GoodWorkMB Joke's on you, I'm into that shit
(But completely unironically... I would watch that)
Onlyfans here we cum!
@@GoodWorkMB don’t threaten me with a good time
i like how this was filmed in every possible kind of weather
we truly went through every season
Spring in NYC is fun 😁
“Narcissistic white boys from Massachusetts” hit a little too hard 💀
Math rock reference?
Filming by the abandoned mattress and portapotty is stellar filmmaking worthy of this topic. Excellent work
we need more of these videos.... they have gotten me to sign up for morning brew, and ill read the news just to keep these investigations going.
music to my AI-generated ears
@@dhtoomey This guy! Thanks for the laughs 🤘
This is becoming my favorite RUclips channel!
I didn't expect to see you here lol
Mine too
Shocked
Omg you guys you have been honoured here, impressive! Y’all deserve it tho
Patrick stamp of approval damn
"And if you're the Patagonia store... They're probably inside of you right now!" - Comes across so fantastically as a body horror line from a film its just fantastic. Perhaps my most favourite line yet!
thank you dan i am yet again both dumber and smarter now
🫡
I can’t tell if Dan was drinking an espresso or a shot of Kahlua during his interviews 🤣🤣
Or a shot of soy sauce
we'll never tell.
@@GoodWorkMB Maybe for your million-subscriber special?
Both
This is legitimately one of the best jobs i’ve seen to turn a 30 second topic into a giant video, good work.
Good reporting - informative, somewhat educational, some good points, some bad points, balanced viewpoints - already contains critique! Top journalism right there.
Agreed
This video is amazing! haha well done
This channel is incredible. Informative, hilarious comedic timing, unique editing... nicely done!
It's like a throwback to 1998, and I love that.
>What do venture capitalists actually do?
VCs invest the money [they don't own] of the people [they don't care about] into the startup companies [they know nothing about].
So basically venture capitalists do capitalism
1:46 Dan casually taking a shot 😂 left me in tears
Now I'm convinced that there is infinitely more honor in being an OnlyFans girl than a VC.
That's what my mom keeps telling me!
99% of them will fail in the long term?
Agree 😂
Being an only fans girl is kinda more honorable than being a lawyer. At least one of them is being honest lol
Venture Capital actually started as a tactic where large military contractor corporations like RAND (and a lot of aerospace companies) would find small companies that were making products that had potential military applications, investing in them, and then using their relationships with the government to secure the companies they invested in with huge military contracts. That inception is really important when analyzing venture capital even today. Theyre still closely tied.
This channel replaces the Andrew Callaghan sized hole in my heart. I’m thankful I found you.
just make sure to light the candles in order and recite the proper incantations when praying that he doesnt turn out to be a sex creep too
Wtf happened ?
@@hippocratesm.d.1543 callaghan was outed as a deranged alcoholic with a chronic habit of forcing himself onto women
I love how your videos are so funny, and so fact based at the same time.
they r funny, yes. but dont take this as educational
I love this channel. As someone who works in the Financial Services industry, I can sense the sarcasms and the jabs at what we do, and it’s all in good fun. I even get to learn more about it as a result. Subbed today!
The biggest secret in venture capital is that the best investment in a successful fund equals or outperforms the rest of the fund combined. - Peter Thiel
You do an incredible job with making it classic news, i feel like its 20 years ago and watching busines news with my dad all over again, thanks and please keep these investigative reports coming
the PowerPoint like transitions really elevate this video to a tier above most
I can't believe I found this channel! Well this channel found me and only 88 videos? I'm crushed. I could binge these all night!
This dude is gonna be a lot more famous
Consistently good comedy
Love it, the only thing I wished you focused more on is how being the vibiest form of capital leads to the only startups being funded are those by other finance and tech bros and almost no one outside of that - regardless of the quality of the idea and startup.
They way you play with the frame, entering/exiting the shot, the cycling of locations. It reminds me of a Edgar Wright montage. You're blurred in the reaction shot to a blurred comment. I love it. All of it.
This is actually GREAT work. I thought Jay Foreman was untouched on RUclips with this kind of content, but we've finally found an equal. Hell yeah
Love this series, shame there are only three episodes out for now!
we need more of this series!
THank you for venturing into this subject!
this channel is incredible and has drastically improved my tech job search experience
I freakn love this new channel !! the reporter is behind the most random background streets waiting to be hit by a NY cab or bus or grub hub delivery .. and that trench coat ..
Wow, this is an incredibly succinct and effective breakdown. THANK YOU!
I can't stop wondering how those people go into these interviews. It's so serious and unserious at the same time. HILARIOUS!!!
Man I'm so glad I found this channel. Excellent reporting
I came across your channel recently and I love your chaotic intros with the voice and the trench-coat 😂
all my children come out with the skin of allbirds
The Children of the Bay have a little known right of passage to initiate them into corporate life. A young prospective capitalist must venture into the Red Woods to capture and skin the sacred Allbird. Only then may they Enter the Ranks, and see their R.o.Is soar high into the sky, like a magnificent emerald vulture
I havent subscribed to a RUclips channel in like 5 years, till today. These are fantastic, more please
I LOVE this channel. It feels like Paul Allen is giving me the update on what my friends are doing in the corporate world 😂
love your videos. keep them coming!
This guy is better than any news channel on tv
The reverse shots during the interviews can only be described as pure cinema
I love this channel!! Good work, mate!!
So this channel has actually become an authentic source of information. Brilliant.
Thanks. Had a few friends captured by the VC world and never dared to ask what they really do, and most importantly, WHY. Now I know...
I work in a VC funded AI startup. Today marks year two. We have burned >$40 million and literally all we have to show for it is ~2000 lines of shitty python that doesn't work
Name?
I hope you hard great parties and snorted some part of it in the process, otherwise what a boring way to burn money
Say cap rn because I have some code for detecting kinds of trash using imagenet that I got off of a persons google collab that is about the same amount of lines
this is insanely entertaining and informative. this content is crazy high quality.
You're really good at what you do!
idk why but these videos are so fucking funny, I don't even care about venture capitalists but listing to you talk about them is very humorous
you are our target audience
Dan - Keep these videos coming. You are bold, hilarious, and smart-as-heck
This channel has locked in the over-reaching informativity market. Good Work.
How have I never come across this guy. This is amazing
now this, is entertaining AND informative !
Tom, your vibes are off the chart. I would like to invest all my monies and bird related items into your vision.
The way he blurred himself in that twitter guy interview got me. thanks for the good chuckle buddy.
Explains better than all my professors put together.
Bro the originality, quality and comedy you bring to your videos is really appreciated. Not enough of it online, people love it when they come across it as it’s regrettably uncommon. ClimateTown a similar example. #notanAd
This is the kind of energy I want my whole life to just radiate
Another great video from male Emma Watson
your words
I love these videos man😂 hilarious stuff thank you
This is amazing, it makes the TV show Silicon Valley way more real 😂 They're like a parody of themselves
Content this good needs more viewers
I love the recurring image of the Patagonia vest.
the edit at the end, very powerful :D
I saw a picture on Twitter recently of a group of about 5 or 6 finance guys who took a group pic of their lunch meeting. It was real funny because they were dressed almost exactly the same. Like the vest was a company mandated uniform piece
You earned my sub, amazing channel dude
Honestly I learnt a lot 😂 thanks for the video
Good werk as always mate, you're doing fantastic
Dude what a fantastic video oozing with style respect
Don't stop making this style of video!
What a gem of a channel. Reminds me of back in the day when the daily show was run by Jon Stewart. Actually funny
I love this channel so much.
I got my allbirds on for this one.
Haha 😸
all the little details - I can't stop laughing. I keep having to rewind so I can actually listen to the content but then just end up laughing again.
The transitions are legendary .. keep it up 🔥🔥😂
Honestly I think if we didn't have venture capitalists or investors or even money we still would have arrived at certain innovations, it just would have been at a more natural pace that didn't require grinding the majority of the population into the ground financially and literally, leaving so many innovations inaccessible to them anyway.
hearing you explain what is venture capital while at work in my venture capital job
YOU HAVE JUST BECOME MY NEW FAVORITE RUclipsR.
O, sorry, did not noticed the caps lock on.
Honestly I can't get over the fact that you're in front of Spain at the beginning. I miss that place so much.
Yall are too funny! I watched all your shorts laat night. They have a really good....how can i say it? Youre so vibey lol
Great, I am a fresh grad and I know what to look for now. Thank you!
The shot of black sambuca is gold.
Great video! We need investment banking next!
I’m not sure how you found Business Ed Sheeran but I like him I find his complete lack of modulation or variation in tone very soothing😂
You never fail to deliver.
overqualified guests, underqualified host
This is hysterical. Love it
This is giving me office vibes! I love that
Shout outs to Beth, she's really doing good work.
Nice to see Dr. PP make a cameo on your screenshot montage, my fave...
hahaha I love where you cut turner’s interview
You uploaded this video right when I was writing an article on "who are venture capitalists?"
I think I should link it when I'm done.
I just found this channel and am loving its content 😂😂
I’m 1 min and this is golden already
Love this channel. Doing a better job than Jon Oliver and The Daily Show is these days.
Loving the inspector Gadget fit.
