In the sixth episode of DrinksWithAVC, Vik and Bree are joined by Rick Smith of Crosscut Ventures, a trailblazer in the Los Angeles venture capital scene. Over a celebratory toast marking his 7-year cameo anniversary on 'Silicon Valley,' Rick opens up about a poignant pandemic discovery through a DNA test that led him to his birth father. The episode isn't just emotionally stirring—it's also intellectually rich, with discussions ranging from the exodus of VCs from Silicon Valley to the dynamic shifts in the LA startup landscape. Don't miss our new segment 'SPAC Smackdown' and the delightful debut of Hank, the golden retriever puppy. Tune in for tales of personal discovery, industry insight, and puppy love!
