Both Sides of the Table
JULY 16, 2010
The VC industry grew dramatically as a result of the Internet bubble - Before the Internet bubble the people who invested in VC funds (called LPs or Limited Partners) put about $50 billion into the industry and by 2001 this had grown precipitously to around $250 billion. Partners leave the industry. The music stops.

In addition to being an incredibly supportive investor in us from the beginning, this LP has become an extremely close friend. As I was walking home after dinner, I thought about the person who had introduced us to this LP. In early 2006, my partners at Mobius and I decided not to raise another fund.

But as an LP you can’t count on that any more than VCs can. The goal of an LP is to get into the top decile. When it went to raise its fund 10 years ago the rumor was that many LPs were disappointed with recent returns and did not re-up. In 2000 our industry had more than $100 billion in LP money.

Each of the SBIC funds were raised in the 2000 – 2002 time period. On paper, only one is in positive return territory as a fund, but the SBIC leverage is a substantial negative factor for the LP investors in that particular fund. The US government, however, lost most of the $2 billion it put into SBIC firms.”

This is true not only in a firm’s dealings with entrepreneurs but also with it’s limited partners and even within the firm among its partners. 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.

The company announced that is just completed $13M in financing from existing investors SMH Private Equity Group, ABS Ventures, Austin Ventures, and Trellis Partners. These are some things to think about when pricing products dynamically, but I’m sure Zilliant’s products are not just focused on realtime web. So why raise money?
