What do venture capitalists actually do?

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?

[zacharmstrong]

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

[Stelios]

Everything this man touches turns to gold.

He'd be a good venture capitalist then.

[mattwetmore]

hey, can I just say, you've 100% stumbled upon a winning format. I'd watch a video like this on virtually any topic.

[spazeit]

This man's format is so interesting that I would watch him do anything

[macygilliam]

i like how this was filmed in every possible kind of weather

[sierranexi]

Filming by the abandoned mattress and portapotty is stellar filmmaking worthy of this topic. Excellent work

[LordDecapo]

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.

[PBoyle]

This is becoming my favorite YouTube channel!

“Narcissistic white boys from Massachusetts” hit a little too hard 💀

[lebambale]

Good reporting - informative, somewhat educational, some good points, some bad points, balanced viewpoints - already contains critique! Top journalism right there.

This is legitimately one of the best jobs i’ve seen to turn a 30 second topic into a giant video, good work.

[heety]

This channel is incredible. Informative, hilarious comedic timing, unique editing... nicely done!

[foreversophomore]

I can’t tell if Dan was drinking an espresso or a shot of Kahlua during his interviews 🤣🤣

[kevinj]

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

[FrederichPedersen]

I love how your videos are so funny, and so fact based at the same time.

[kentara_excelsior]

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!

[darrens]

"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!

[foodiusmaximus]

This channel replaces the Andrew Callaghan sized hole in my heart. I’m thankful I found you.

[FunboxKaraoke]

This is actually GREAT work. I thought Jay Foreman was untouched on YouTube with this kind of content, but we've finally found an equal. Hell yeah

[OriginalCovfefe]

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!
