Both Sides of the Table

FEBRUARY 18, 2017

Many readers know that at Upfront Ventures that’s precisely what happened at our own firm in 2011 when our founding partner and my co-Managing Partner, Yves Sisteron, asked me to lead the daily management of our firm. He did what every LP did, looked at returns, talked to portfolio companies, talked with our competitors and so forth.

I can tell a story looking backwards why our LP base was carefully constructed. But in a lot of ways, the things that made magic happen between ourselves and our LPs was driven by timing, luck, chemistry, and other factors that were hard to predict at the time. This was in 2011, and I still remember that warning.

LLH: When starting Belly in 2011, yeah, we were tracking something like 15 companies in the Loyalty space. Many competitors were building cool new things, that felt hot and buzzy… like, they were mobile only products at a time (2011) where less than half of a small businesses customers had smart phones.

I’m in for $100,000 so you’ve got your first LP. It follows two other funds, called Bullet Time Ventures, that were a $5 million fund raised in 2009 and a $25 million fund raised in 2011. In 2011, Techstars had begun to grow meaningfully as an organization. .” David: “Do you really think I can do that?”

Senator Schumer spoke at Internet Week in 2011. All of our local politicians—our Senators, Mayor Bloomberg (his company, Bloomberg LP, is against it, but haven’t heard where he stands personally), and other policymakers need to be fighting this. Back to Senators Schumer and Gillibrand.

The watershed moment in entrepreneurship becoming more science than art as probably Eric Ries’s publication of The Lean Startup in 2011 (although some would argue for Steve Blank’s Four Steps to the Epiphany in 2005). The GP-LP structure used by most funds is a brake on innovation here too.

As everyone knows, what is being reported as dry powder isn’t real as many of those LP commitments would not survive a capital call (and thus capital calls aren’t being made). That figure includes $1 trillion of un-invested funds (a.k.a. “dry powder&# ) and $1.5 trillion of unrealized returns. Also, the $1.5

Mattermark just posted a short report full of such statements and the former 21 year old institutional LP analyst in me (the job I got my VC start in over 15 years ago) flipped his s**t upon close review. Here's everything wrong with this dataset: 1) Sounds big, but really isn't. The midway point of this dataset is 2009.
