Listen "How VC success is truly measured"
Episode Synopsis
How do you know if you're actually a successful venture capitalist? It's harder to tell than you might think. In this episode, K Street Capital Managing Partner Paige Soya sits down with Henri Pierre-Jacques, Managing Partner of Harlem Capital, to dive deep into the metrics that really matter in venture capital - and why most of them have nothing to do with spreadsheets.Henri shares the brutal realities of fund performance, including why only 16% of funds make it to Fund IV and how the 2021 vintage created one of the tightest performance bands in 20 years. But beyond the financial metrics like TVPI and DPI, we explore the operational indicators that successful VCs track daily: graduation rates, win ratios, cash efficiency, and the often-overlooked importance of deal access and founder relationships.
