In October, we announced open applications to become a Weekend Partner at @weekendfund. Over 500 people applied.
Today, we're introducing 10 founders and builders in our inaugural cohort.

It’s official—I’m now a GP at Weekend Fund!
I believe “career” is just a construct. What we really have is time—and the projects and people we choose to spend it on.
I’m very happy to have spent the last 5+ years working with @rrhoover , and alongside our founders, LPs, and co-investors at Weekend Fund.
And, now I get to do even more (and hopefully, better!) as a GP.
Introducing Weekend Fund’s new GP: @vedikaja_in
Nearly 6 years ago, I sent this email inviting her to join me “nights and weekends”.
Her impact was pronounced and her part-time role quickly shifted to full-time.
Since then, we’ve invested $37M into 103 startups, returned our first fund, and raised capital from 400+ LPs.

Signature Block is one of my favorite newsletters for early to mid-career founders and investors. You know @rrhoover and @vedikaja_in have engendered a lot of trust in the community because each edition features insights from names you know on the record.

Investing can take you down some wild rabbit holes.
@Julian, thanks for introducing us to @GillVerd. 🙏🏼

Yesterday we published a piece on VC fund stacks on @signatureblock_.
Here's ours...
The next @signatureblock_ essay is hitting inboxes shortly. It's 5,732 words.
Whoops. 😅
"Who lives in SF and plays Padel?" ;)
At Weekend Fund we have over 450 LPs organized in Airtable.
What's the best tool to merge this data source with an external LLM so we can ask questions like:
"Who worked at Stripe?"
"Who has data science experience?"
"Who invested more than $250K?"

I.e. Compliance tools and infra to ensure companies aren't fined or imprisoned out of existence 😬

At @weekendfund we aren't trying to predict the future. That's hard.
Instead, we look for founders that have a unique insight on a problem worth solving.
But, we have opinions.
Here's a living doc of spaces we’re excited to invest in:

"2%+ GP commit isn’t necessarily required. 27.5% committed 1% or less."
We can put one in the win column for lowering barriers to VC.
thanks @weekendfund//@signatureblock_ for the data

We're building an experienced, mission-driven team @TrueMedPayments -- and looking for one more senior software engineer.
We will wire $10,000 to whoever refers the person we hire.
We'd much rather give this $ to this community than recruiters.

Trying something new:
Founders, if your early-stage startup's core KPI (revenue, active users, etc.) is growing 30%+ MoM for 6+ months and you'd like a ~$300K check from @weekendfund, DM me. :)

We just returned Weekend Fund’s first fund today. 😊
1x DPI is far from its end state but it’s a big milestone for us. Feels good to pay our LPs back.
