Having a better overall portfolio of venture capital by adding funds into the mix. By being in a pool of other fund investors, the LP meetings and co-investment calls could be an opportunity to connect with other like-minded or like-situationed investors—but again, it depends on how a fund organizes its community.

Historically, seed rounds were syndicated among several different firms. Today, we are seeing less syndication of seed rounds and sharper elbows among many of the funds in the market. Instead of broadly syndicated rounds, we are seeing much more competition for fewer slots. Why Is Seed Investing Becoming More Sharp Elbowed?

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?” Although EquityZen is primarily an online marketplace for secondary shares in private companies, they also offer syndicated primary investments.

Reputation Effect. Even with aggressive recycling, the average fund doesn’t have capital available to support every portfolio company through every round. So the follow-on support that went into a later write-down came at the expense of other companies in the portfolio, some of whom would have been more accretive to the fund.

First fund is like a seed round – it’s based on pitch and reputation.
