In 1998, when I started ending up with lots of shares in public Internet companies, I came up with a formulaic approach for any public equities that are distributed to me (either from our funds or other VC funds). In 2002, I decided not to own any public company stocks except for companies that I directly invested in as private companies.

We over-weighted small cap value stocks in 1998-2002. We know that we at Koffler have added value, and where we add value, because we measure it. Our value in the past has come from big tactical asset allocation bets. It was a nutty thing to do at the time. However, it was the right thing to do from a valuation perspective.

In the years immediately prior to the popularity of institutional seed investing (I’m using a time frame of 2002 – 2007), the early-stage financing landscape looked similar to the first segment of the chart. Third, founders at this stage have an incentive to minimize dilution at the point when their equity is the least valuable.
