How I Invest with David Weisburd · 2026-06-22 · 42 min
What if the biggest edge in investing isn’t information, strategy, or even intelligence - but relationships? In this episode, I sit down with Ron Biscardi, Co-Founder and CEO of iConnections, to discuss what separates the world’s best allocators and investment managers from everyone else. Ron shares lessons from building the largest capital introduction ecosystem in alternatives, with more than 26,000 members across 80+ countries representing over $55 trillion in assets. We explore the role of EQ in investing, why relationships compound into investment advantages, how emerging managers should think about fundraising, and why some of the most successful investment firms are built by entrepreneurs rather than investors alone. We also discuss conviction, illiquidity, LP decision-making, manager selection, and the realities of navigating capital markets over decades.
