Andre Dehays – BackedVC's $100M Fund III & Generational Founders

BackedVC founder Andre Dehays joins after closing the firm's $100M Fund III. He explains how Backed started in 2016 as a founder community hosting 40 events a year, has done 100 deals, and now sees fund-one founders reinvesting as LPs and being re-backed at far greater speed (Zero Gravity, Esker, CoMind, and Flux taking on Nvidia). He covers what gets easier and harder running a fund, competing against Sequoia, Lightspeed, and Founders Fund term sheets with a 97% win rate, and responds to the YC-backed 'chad ide' controversy by insisting Backed only backs companies with huge societal potential.
