Just ask anybody who was trying to close funding the fateful week of September 11, 2001 or even March 2000. This came in part due to the huge influx of money into VC but also because hedge funds and private equity shops with no VC experience wanted part of the action.

Or, as my friend Marc Andreessen might say, Software Eats the Private Equity World. While a flood of new VCs came into existence during the late 90’s internet boom, many had difficulty raising new funds after the crashes of 2000-2001 and 2008 , and as a result significantly fewer fund managers exist now compared to a decade ago.

I’m a visual person so here’s how I see it: Entrepreneurs start companies and the founders (“F&# in my chart) invest capital which they grow with sweat equity and then limited partners (“LPs&# ) invest capital via VCs which in turn grows the pie to the eventual “exit&# (which comes in the form of M&A or IPOs).

The later stage guys may see a pickup about the same time as the Series A guys but I suspect it will take longer (like the recovery after the 2000 crash). As I mentioned earlier, these are all private companies so data is hard to come by. What I can tell you is that total private equity assets under management was reported as $2.5

And then from there, I was running a fitness company on the west coast by the name of 24 Hour Fitness, which was private equity backed and quite a bit of debt. And half our clubs were in the state of California in 2008, so was a very interesting time to be a CEO and learned a lot. Yes, we’d like that. So I share that with you, Eric.
