Happy Friday everyone, it’s finance editor Jeff Roberts pinch-hitting for Allie. Since I moved to Southern California two years ago, I’ve been struck by the region’s thriving venture capital scene—one that seems to fly under the media radar compared to Silicon Valley and New York. I recently spoke to a longtime veteran of the scene, Adam Winnick.
Winnick is a lively guy and has that all-important VC quality of being able to convene influential people. I first encountered him last month at a dinner for members of the Medici Network, a crypto-focused institutional investor conference, that brought together everyone from startup founders to bankers to representatives of Ivy League endowments and sovereign wealth funds.
