@TechCrunch the "captive network" framing is just a fund with fewer lawyers and a better dinner table - the structure is informal but the access moat it creates is identical

@TechCrunch Absolutely love it Justin!!!

@TechCrunch Captive LP networks bypass the institutional drag of formal fund structures to capture high-velocity upside in frontier tech.

@TechCrunch Getting into Anthropic, Anduril, and SpaceX without a traditional fund is either an incredible strategy or the greatest networking flex of all time. 🤝🚀

@TechCrunch Justin is definitely one to watch among the next generation of emerging managers … high conviction, fast and full of integrity! Founders and LPs are fortunate to partner with him … more so than they know right now :)

@TechCrunch 投资决策不要看故事，要看数据。故事可以编，数据不会骗人。 「Sabertooth VC 创始人没有花一年时间筹建一个正式的风险投资基金，而是利用一个由有限合伙人组成的专属网络，投资...」

@TechCrunch Totally agree. Hedge funds positioning accordingly.

@TechCrunch The beta finder. I wish I invested

@TechCrunch curious how justin ernest pulled that off without a traditional fund, the lp network must have been tight.

@TechCrunch smart move leveraging a captive network, cuts out the usual fundraising drama
