Episode #48: VCs are Cockroaches, Engineers Fixing Vibe-Coded Projects, Serial Entrepreneurs Continue to be Favored
This week on The Learning Corner, Mia and Charles explore three compelling venture capital topics: (1) Micah Rosenbloom's comparison of VCs to "cockroaches" and why fund consolidation remains unlikely despite market pressures, (2) the emerging trend of software engineers being paid to fix AI-generated "vibe-coded" projects that need human expertise to become functional, and (3) new Pitchbook data revealing how serial founders maintain a significant 2-3x fundraising advantage over first-time entrepreneurs in today's cautious investment climate.
Key Points
- VC funds rarely merge due to the individualized nature of LP investments and the egos involved in the business.
- Vibe coding allows for quick prototyping but often necessitates professional intervention to achieve a polished and functional product.
- The current market favors serial founders over first-time founders due to perceived lower risk and established relationships, but this trend may overlook potentially talented newcomers.
