Welcome to the TWiVC Newsletter

This Week in VCOct 22, 2026

TWiVC is Jason Calacanis’ real-time briefing on the deals, terms, and decisions that move the venture market. Each week, JCal sits down with top capital allocators from the Valley and beyond for a roundtable on what’s actually happening right now. These are not recycled headlines, but the kinds of calls and private dealflow dynamics that are typically discussed ONLY behind closed doors.

As a free subscriber, you’ll get a new episode of the podcast every Wednesday afternoon, straight to your inbox. Plus we’ll share occasional updates on notable deals, as they happen, with a roundup of reactions from our favorite investors, commentators, and meme artisans.

But if you want the FULL This Week in VC Experience, we urge you to upgrade to a paid subscription. For just $10/month or $100/year, you’ll get way way more real-time dealflow updates, plus a TON more insights and analysis, and truth bombs that’ll make you feel like you’re in tech’s most elite group chat.
