This has led to the creation of incubators, accelerators and seed funds. In 1998 there were around 850 VC funds and by 2000 there were 2,300. 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. The Funding Problem.

Back in the 2000-2001 timeframe, a flood of LP capital was coming into the VC asset class given the strong returns of the mid-late 90s tech boom/bubble.
