Summary: HighPost Capital, a private equity firm run by Mark Bezos and David Moross, has launched a new venture capital arm named HIPstr with a fund of $100 million to invest in startups. The fund has already invested in some early-stage startups, including Kylie Jenner's liquor company and a cremation services provider. Key takeaways: The launch of HIPstr comes at a time when startup valuations have decreased and could potentially lead to successful investments for HighPost Capital. The fund has already invested in a diverse range of startups, including ones in the consumer industry. HighPost Capital is seeing the potential in smaller, early-stage startups that have the potential for growth. Counter arguments: There is no guarantee that the investments made by HighPost Capital through HIPstr will lead to successful outcomes. The decrease in startup valuations could also indicate a slower market for growth and profits. #venturecapital #vc #venture #startups

Fun Fact by 8 Minutes®: Fact : The term "#unicorn" in venture capital was coined by investor Aileen Lee in 2013 to describe privately held startups valued at over $1 billion. Why "unicorn"? Because back then, such companies were considered as rare as spotting the mythical creature. Today, however, there are over 1,400 unicorns worldwide, making the "mythical" status a little less rare—but no less magical for founders and investors! #funfact #venturecapital #startups
