Both Sides of the Table

In 1998 there were around 850 VC funds and by 2000 there were 2,300. Thomson Reuters data shows that around $10 billion of LP money went into VCs per year pre bubble. By 2000 the total LP commitments had mushroomed to more than $100 billion. So of course returns from 2000-2010 were subpar on average for the industry.
