2001 Cost Hiring Private Equity 
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. VC will shrink. Oh yes it will.

The truth is that the brutal reality of public markets is that they self correct much more quickly than our shitty little private equity illiquid corner of the universe. I encouraged them to stay in shorter-term space, higher per-unit costs but no capital outlays. Does this suck? It affects lives. Others will follow.

This is going to be BIG.

One of the first things I did when I joined the venture asset class as a lowly institutional LP analyst in 2001 was to build the VC fund cashflow model. Toss in a few acqui-hires in the $6-8mm post seed. Comparatively, if you look at long term private equity results, I think most investors are winding up with high teens returns.
