How is the VC Asset Class Doing?

View from Seed

DECEMBER 4, 2019

One of the things I pointed out in my prior post was that even though the 2007 vintage was 10 years old, the vast majority of the value was still unrealized. If we compare the 2007 vintage data today vs. what we looked at 2 years ago, it gives us a sense of how much liquidity that vintage has enjoyed in the last couple years.

Does the Size of a VC Fund Matter?

Both Sides of the Table

APRIL 2, 2010

If you imagine that they did most of their initial investments between 2002-2007 then it’s been 3 years of mostly doing follow-on investments in those old deals. If the VC your talking to raised its last fund in 2002 then they likely don’t have much fire power for new investments. A lot will depend on how exits go in 2010/2011.
