Jacob Robbins, known as “Captain Wetblanket” by his colleagues, often covers the AI industry and VC landscape through a skeptical lens. Jacob uses his carefully trained eye to weed through the industry’s flashy headlines to share stories of action and anxiety bubbling just below the surface.
For those unfamiliar with PitchBook, it isn’t just a data company; it also produces VC and private equity data news. Jacob refers to their niche as “second-day” stories; when Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, PitchBook thoughtfully distilled that deal for a private market audience.
Tune into this episode as Jacob gives Eric his playbook to uncovering the story beneath the story and balancing journalistic integrity with what an audience demands. To read Jacob’s latest work, visit https://pitchbook.com/news/author/jacob-robbins
