Über diesen Titel

Today’s guest is Peter Walker, Head of Insights at Carta, whose team analyzes data from tens of thousands of startups to reveal what’s actually happening in venture capital — not just what makes headlines. Recorded live at Rally, this conversation digs into the real state of venture in 2025: the AI haves vs. have-nots, why down rounds aren’t a death sentence, the misunderstood power law driving VC decisions, and why so many founders should probably never pitch a fund in the first place. Peter also breaks down co-founder equity splits, option pools, vesting (a.k.a. the prenup you absolutely need), and the difference between building a venture-scale rocket ship and an incredible “lifestyle” business you fully control. If you’re a founder, investor, or operator trying to navigate today’s funding landscape — and decide what game you’re actually playing — this episode will give you the language, data, and mental models to do it.
