Anyone who works in and around #investmentmanagement, #venturecapital and #startups knows the last 24 months has been tough (and to be fair, that is compared to a somewhat crazy period prior). But I can't help but think many VCs and investors are really quick to comment and make predictions in this space (column inches anyone?) and yet they are themselves not deploying capital, and are simply waiting for others to jump in first so they can follow the leader. Or they are waiting to "pick a unicorn" as if that's easy and just a few ... more ... months ... away. Fingers-crossed ... 🤞🏻 🙏🏻 What we don't discuss is the quality of the companies looking for funding. Has that fundamentally changed? After all, as investors, we are ultimately accountable to our LPs and Founders to keep investment flows open. To encourage more to embark on the startup journey ... and to take all the accelerator seats. But what's the point of accelerating companies into a funding vacuum? I don't believe quality is an issue ... I see awesome Founders and companies every week. And with sectors such as climate, nature repair, biodiversity, AI, biotech ALL exploding with innovation, perhaps part of the issues is the lack of understanding of the startups in these areas. And if most investors are waiting for "someone else" to have the courage to jump in first, or even just engage, then this problem may persist. All I know is the silence is deafening for some Founders in the market right now. #venturecapital #riskassessment #backimpact #backthefuture https://lnkd.in/gFmkG2Hi
