Hey Friends,
My guest today is Ben Sun, co-founder and general partner at Primary Venture Partners.
Primary focuses on investing in companies at seed that were founded in New York and has the largest seed stage portfolio impact team. Some of his investment include Jet.com, Coupang, K Health and Mirror. Previously he co-founded Community Connect, which was one of the first social networking companies.
We discuss:
Optimizing for growth over profitability
The evolution of social
Why he’s anti-thesis
A macro analysis of the current seed market
Why he’s so bullish on NYC’s startup ecosystem
I hope you enjoy!
