That’s a bit of a cautionary tale to VC investors today who might think it’s inevitable that the private value they are enjoying in their portfolios will certainly translate to distributions in the near future. One thing that jumps out quickly is that TVPI between 2004-2010 (avg 2.6x) has underperformed 2011-2017 (avg 3.0x).

How do you deal with a severely uneven distribution of investment success between individuals or groups of partners?

VC’s start investing in technology-enabled “offline” businesses (distribution, services etc) – most of whom would never have gotten venture money 3 years ago. Google finally fixes the problem with mobile (discovery, search, distribution, tracking, monetization, a/b testing) and races ahead while Apple waxes nostalgically for 2010.

The party rounds , which were the range in late 2010 and early 2011, became less common and we started to see the smaller funds begin to lead rounds. Instead, it was more of a result of over-funding at the seed stage. Top engineering talent today has a bimodal distribution. And the hiring costs are higher.
