In my research on how private equity and VC funds source investments , one of our conclusions was that VCs get better returns when they invest outside of the traditional geographic hotspots of New York, Boston, and the Bay Area. This is a generalizable principle: you get higher returns where other investors are not.

When I meet with other VCs, family offices, and other institutional investors, the most common question I get is: “What are the highest-potential companies in your portfolio which are raising now?” These all help to maintain the firms’ brand awareness, and I get a lot of useful market insight from these conversations.

This means that we like working as a catalyst for a round, negotiate terms, bring in other investors, and sit on boards. The fact that each member of our team has worked at larger, institutional venture capital firms is an important asset. Geography: 20 / 25 investments are based in the Boston and New York areas.

Since I became an institutional investor, my #1 learning is: this is a highly unusual and somewhat baffling industry.
