Founders had a killer track record at Insight (Insight is actually a major LP in the fund) but they launched in 2019 and deployed a fuckton of money in consumer internet (notoriously the highest-beta segment of tech) right at the peak of the bubble. Early results were strong enough that they could raise a Fund II but I have to imagine Fund I is seeing some serious markdowns and there is a lot of pressure to perform. 

Heard from some friends at Insight that the founders were HUGE partiers (for better or worse), although maybe they've mellowed out since then. 

 

The team is made up of serious f ups. None have actual operational experience in DTC. Insight under Deven has been pathetic at DTC and none of the people at Insight this very junior team learned from had DTC operational experience. Many of this team’s former investments at Insight like Freshly have been completely written off. How they raised a fund 2 from dumb money is beyond me and will likely be their last fund

 

100% agreed. Had a recent interaction with a VP/Principal.. literally a grade A jerk who probably had zero ounce of knowledge analyzing a company or doing any sort of financial work. Have heard from others that their rigorous training, etc. is all bullshit, especially at the junior level and most people there are douchebags looking at hype companies to burn more money on.. all glamorous from the outside though! 

 

Very familiar with Left Lane. Sharp investors, all young, super hard working. They are facing some major headwinds as their chosen area of focus (consumer growth) is immensely out of favor now, and they deployed a bunch during the 2020-21 bubble. Work environment is on the more intense side relative to other venture/growth firms, but still, it's venture, not banking or megafund PE.
