想進入風險投資行業?也許是時候發點梗圖了。

金融圈梗圖賬號Litquidity的匿名創始人(化名為“Lit”)于上周在推特(Twitter)上宣布,他以風險投資“星探”的身份與貝恩資本(Bain Capital Ventures)達成了合作關系。貝恩資本投資的公司包括BlockFi、Lime和Cameo等。風投公司通過風投“星探”挖掘新的(往往處于創業初期的)創始人和公司,并請其代表公司進行小額投資。

Litquidity的創始人稱自己曾經在投資銀行和私募股權公司工作過,自2017年開通賬戶后,已經在推特上收獲了大約19.27萬名粉絲,Instagram上有約63.3萬名粉絲,賬號主要發布諷刺類梗圖和新聞,為金融民工發聲,講述行業的殘酷本質。Litquidity向《財富》雜志表示,這個匿名賬號還開通了一個名為Exec Sum的公眾號,訂閱人數已經超過10萬。最近,他還與Litquidity的第一位、也是目前唯一一位員工、前銀行家、真人秀電視明星馬克·莫蘭一起推出了播客。

Litquidity的目標之一是有朝一日創立自己的風投公司,“這事本身就很有梗——通過發梗圖來成立一家風投基金。”2021年他接受《紐約》雜志(New York)采訪時如是說。(至于追隨者們問Liquidity的風投公司什么時候能夠面世,他向《財富》雜志表示:“可能是2023年。”)過去一年,Litquidity已經對Substack的競爭對手Beehiiv和社交投資應用程序Iris等創業公司進行了天使投資。

Liquidity成立了專門匯集資金進行投資的特殊目的公司(SPV),并與貝恩資本合作,一步步朝著目標順利前行。

與貝恩資本的合作關系自然也是在推特上開的頭。2021年12月,克里斯蒂娜·梅拉斯-基里亞茲在推特上宣布她將加入貝恩資本擔任合伙人,Litquidity在評論區發了火焰的表情后,她回應道:“我們來做些交易吧。”Litquidity稱,之后“我就給她發了私信,說‘我是認真的’,再之后我們通了電話互報家門,聊了聊對什么類型的交易感興趣。”他當時分享了自己的投資和看到的市場機會。Litquidity稱,關于他的價值,“我會說,首先第一點,這個賬號在金融圈是個十分知名的存在。”

我們做些交易吧。

“在金融圈,我最開始的定位是個搞笑賬號。我認為,讓人們開懷大笑是一個可以和許多人建立關系的好方法。”

貝恩資本的梅拉斯-基里亞茲表示,“新一代媒體創業者通過社交媒體、播客和其他線上渠道建立了自己的受眾群”,這種趨勢日益增長,他們“現在是很吃香的投資對象”,她提到了20VC的哈里·斯特賓斯和Acquired的大衛·羅森塔爾,以及Not Boring上的公眾號作者派基·麥考密克。梅拉斯-基里亞茲通過電子郵件向《財富》雜志表示,Litquidity“作為金融、科技和玩梗文化領域的創作者,在社交媒體上收獲了大批高互動性讀者,自有其獨特的視角”。

梗圖和風險投資并不是第一次搭在一起。例如,特納·諾瓦克通過在推特上發布有關風投的梗圖和搞笑內容,收獲了大批粉絲,并通過他的公司香蕉資本(Banana Capital)進行了幾次風投,還得到了包括Litquidity在內的有限合伙人。

Litquidity的“星探”工作并不是一份正兒八經的工作(他沒有受雇于貝恩資本)。Litquidity拒絕透露作為“星探”自己得到的授權投資額度是多少,也不愿意透露他的薪酬結構。梅拉斯-基里亞茲表示,貝恩資本的風投“星探”能夠“用貝恩的錢向起步不久的初創公司提供小額天使資金”,該公司希望“可以讓創始人覺得,從貝恩的‘星探’那里獲得投資,和拿到天使投資人自己的錢這兩種體驗并無二致。”

對Litquidity來說,他的日常工作“沒有太大變化”,他說他將繼續“像以前一樣與創始人交流”,區別只是現在手里握有貝恩的支票簿。Litquidity表示,希望通過這份經歷獲得更多關于風險投資的知識。Litquidity主要關注金融科技、Web3和去中心化金融、創作者經濟和電子商務領域的公司。

當被問及現在他已經成為一位更嚴肅的投資者,而他發布的內容通常會帶點挑釁性質,這是否會引發關切時,Litquidity表示,他依靠線上發布內容走到現在,一直都在做自己,“所以這不是什么新鮮事,不會讓人們感到驚訝。”他又補充道,“我不會說任何我認為有爭議的事情,比如不會說那些需要撤回的話。”

對于包括Morning Brew前作者、Launch House現任內容主管托比·豪厄爾在內的旁觀者來說,“看著@litcapital從梗圖營銷號變成了真正的初創公司早期投資者,我不禁開懷大笑。新的美國夢正在我們眼前上演。”他在推特上打趣道。

Want to work in venture capital? Maybe it's time to start posting some memes.

The anonymous founder behind the finance meme account Litquidity, who goes by "Lit," announced on Twitter last week that he landed a partnership as a venture scout for Bain Capital Ventures, the firm whose portfolio companies include the likes of BlockFi, Lime, and Cameo. Venture capital firms tap venture scouts to find new founders and companies, often in the very early stages of their startup journeys, and write small investment checks on the firm's behalf.

Since starting the account in 2017, Litquidity, who says he previously worked in investment banking and private equity, has amassed roughly 192,700 followers on Twitter and around 633,000 on Instagram, posting satirical memes and news about the often grueling nature of the finance industry for those who work in it. The anonymous influencer also has a daily newsletter, Exec Sum, which now has over 100,000 subscribers, Litquidity told Fortune, and recently launched a podcast with Litquidity's first and currently only employee, former banker and reality TV star Mark Moran.

Among Litquidity's goals is to one day create his own venture firm: “That would just be a meme in itself—memeing a VC fund into existence," he told New York magazine last year. (As to when followers could expect a Litquidity venture firm, Litquidity told Fortune “maybe 2023.”) Over the past year, Litquidity has invested his own angel checks into startups including Substack competitor Beehiiv and social investing app Iris.

Litquidity's move to set up special purpose vehicles (SPVs), which pool capital to make an investment, as well as landing the venture scout partnership at Bain Capital Ventures, put him well on that journey.

Naturally, the Bain Capital Ventures partnership originated over Twitter. The Litquidity account initially commented a fire emoji on Christina Melas-Kyriazi’s tweet in December announcing her move to Bain Capital Ventures as a partner, to which she replied, "Let's do some deals." After that, "I slid into the DMs saying, 'I'm serious,' and we spoke on the phone to get to know each other, see what types of deals that we're interested in," Litquidity says. He said he shared intel about his own investments and opportunities he was seeing. Litquidity describes his value to the role as, "I would say, first and foremost, it's being a known presence in the finance ecosystem."

let's do some deals.

— Christina Melas-Kyriazi (@ChristinaPhili5) December 6, 2021

"I'm primarily known in the finance ecosystem as a jokester. I think that's a great way to establish a relationship with a lot of people, making them laugh," he says.

Melas-Kyriazi at Bain Capital Ventures notes there's a growing trend of "next-generation media entrepreneurs who have built their audiences on social media, podcasting, and other digital channels" who are "now sought-after as investors," pointing to podcasters Harry Stebbings at 20VC and David Rosenthal at Acquired, and newsletter writer Packy McCormick at Not Boring. Litquidity, according to Melas-Kyriazi, has "a unique perspective as a creator having built a broad and engaged audience on social media at the intersection of finance, technology, and meme culture," she told Fortune via email.

Meme posters and venture capital aren’t a new pairing. Turner Novak, for example, has amassed his own following on Twitter from posting memes and comical content about VCs and has made several venture investments through his firm Banana Capital, garnering limited partners including Litquidity.

Litquidity's scout gig is not a job (he's not employed by Bain Capital Ventures). Litquidity declined to provide details about how much money he's been authorized to invest as a scout, or details about his compensation structure. Melas-Kyriazi said that Bain's venture scouts write "small, angel-size checks into early-stage startups, funded by BCV," and that the firm wants "founders to feel that the experience of taking money from a BCV scout is nearly indistinguishable from working with an angel who is investing their own dollars."

For Litquidity, "not much is changing" for his day-to-day work, and he will continue having "conversations with founders the same way that I had been" prior to the scout deal, he says—only this time with a Bain checkbook in hand. Litquidity says he hopes to gain more knowledge about VC investing through the experience. Companies on Litquidity's radar include those in the fintech, Web3 and DeFi, creator economy, and e-commerce spaces.

When asked whether his often provocative content might be a concern as he becomes a more serious investor, Litquidity said he's come this far by being himself with his online content, "so it's not like it's a surprise or anything like that," adding that "I don't say anything that I deem to be controversial in the sense of it being, like, cancelable."

For some onlookers, like former Morning Brew writer and current content lead at Launch House Toby Howell, "It never fails to crack me up that @litcapital went from a meme page to an actual early-stage startup investor. The new american dream playing out before our eyes," he quipped on Twitter.

As for Litquidity? "It's my American dream for sure," he says with a laugh.
