    Phin Barnes: The Services Model of Venture Capital is Broken, The Best Founders Do Need Help | E1067

    Phin Barnes, Harry Stebbings

    Former First Round associates Finn Brosius and Dan Portillo launched The General Partnership to challenge the broken VC model by offering unbundled operational services like recruiting and go-to-market support in exchange for equity rather than management fees. The firm targets approximately 30 mature second-time founders through a concentrated, high-engagement approach that prioritizes operational execution and founder judgment over brand prestige or large check sizes. By structuring specific funds for sales and product verticals and utilizing formal Statements of Work, the partnership aims to align financial incentives directly with founder success while maintaining a scalable, high-context support system.
