Of course, that was not 100% true, with innovative startups and large outcomes occurring in Europe, in Asia, and other parts of the USA. Yes, the concentration of entrepreneurial founding and management talent is here in the Bay Area, but so too is lots of private money, more and more large platforms which continue to grow in market share.

I was chatting with a friend last night about the lack of institutional investor (LP) interest in European venture capital as an asset class.

Startups are lucky that they can’t afford research, so they test in market and land upon on ideas that would never fly based on what we think or what focus groups would respond with. Given technology is becoming the major form of market access – it should now be viewed in the same realm as access to medicine and education.

I clearly see in Europe that we are following the same path as in the US. LP's, the investors in funds, come to you asking to invest in your fund instead of you going to them begging for their money. Well, you get a ton of power in the market. What does it mean for the VC's in Europe? Forget calling them Tier 2 or Tier 3.

In the current market, optimism isn't going to get you far. Venture capital in general, especially in Europe, is a practice in blind faith right now. The industry hasn't evolved, LP's are no longer interested and we're doomed. . Just yesterday I spoke with a good friend at another fund who recently had a great exit. FUCK THAT!
