VC Insights Brian Shechter on Building, Backing, and the Future of VC

During his recent visit to Israel, we caught up with Brian Schechter, Partner at Primary Venture Partners, following a co-hosted mixer with founders and investors. In this edition of VC Insights, Brian shares how his journey from founder to investor informs Primary’s hands-on approach to helping companies scale — from embedded recruiters to deep sector expertise. He also unpacks how AI is reshaping the tech stack and why specialization is defining the next generation of VC.

We kicked off a new quarterly program led by Tzlil Kovetz, Principal at Vintage, in collaboration with Roni Bonjack and her Israeli Emerging Managers community, centered around one big question:How can managers optimize returns beyond just picking winners?

In our first session, we dove into: When to call and return capital, reserves planning and smart portfolio allocation, managing leaders vs. laggers, and using M&As and secondaries to drive liquidity.
