It was a $225 million fund, just like our other three $225 million funds raised in 2007, 2010, and 2013. Our goal is to make about 30 investments in each fund (2007 has 28, 2010 had 31) that range between $5m and $15m over the life of the company. We are equally happy to syndicate with one or two other VC firms.

One of my comments was that we would likely see more institutionalization of angel groups and syndication of deals among groups. If my math is correct, this is approximately a 31% IRR, which has to beat individual angel investments on aggregate and venture capital returns over the period of the study (1990-2007).
