This can set up a perfect storm if early-stage companies don’t manage their expectations and reality properly. Likewise, early-stage investors may not appreciate just how much follow-on support their portfolio companies will need.

2007 was the watershed year. Early-stage VCs have realized that they need to capitalize on this trend, which is why many traditional VCs have set up “opportunity” funds that sit alongside their core funds as a means of capturing more private-market (pre IPO) value.

The founding of M-Pesa in 2007 inspired many young people to undertake entrepreneurial risks. However, the lack of funding opportunities has forced many entrepreneurs to seek funding abroad.

by Michael Woolf that is worth any startup founder reading to get a sense of perspective on the reality warp that is startup world during a frothy market such as 1997-1999, 2005-2007 or 2012-2014. Plus, most early-stage M&A fails so this isn’t likely a good use of capital for a young company).

This is something I think entrepreneurs don’t totally understand and it’s worthwhile they do. There weren’t a lot of seed funds in 2007 so this was often done by angels, funding consortia or sometimes early-stage funds that existed then (First Round Capital, True Ventures, SoftTech VC, etc.).

I know many entrepreneurs who feel that VCs have played them, gamed them, deceived them, or bullshitted them. But this doesn’t only happen to entrepreneurs. In 2007, when we set out to raise our first Foundry Group fund, early stage tech VC was in the shitter. VCs play this game with VCs all the time.
