Listen "Best of LinkedIn: Venture Capital CW 37/ 38"
Episode Synopsis
We curate most relevant posts about Venture Capital on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.
This edition offers a comprehensive look at the contemporary venture capital landscape, focusing heavily on AI's disruptive influence across investment strategies and operational roles, even leading some firms to adopt Private Equity roll-up models. Several reports highlight a key market shift: VCs are demonstrating increased urgency in returning capital (DPI) to Limited Partners (LPs), suggesting a potential revitalisation of the venture cycle, alongside evidence of growing fund performance metrics and larger average LP check sizes. Advice for founders concentrates on fundraising best practices, such as understanding the detailed flow of money within a fund, focusing on credible traction and clear value propositions in short investor meetings, and navigating the prevalent challenge of investor ghosting. Finally, the sources track sector-specific trends, noting that while AI dominates, specialized areas like deep tech, climate tech, and FemTech are attracting dedicated capital despite facing unique valuation and scaling hurdles.
