By far the most interesting discussion at last week’s National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) annual meeting was the panel politely titled “Venture Capital Innovation,” and more aptly called “Venture Capital Disruption.”
The panelists were all top members of the AngelList team: CEO and cofounder Naval Ravikant and three of his highest-flying angels, Gil Penchina, Dave Morin, and Sumon Sadhu, who are respectively numbers 1, 9, and 33 on the roster of AngelList syndicate leaders. This was not the usual panel with diverse viewpoints. This is the disruptor A-team, come to take our cheese.
