You WILL regret missing this webinar. These are companies with amazing potential in a myriad of sectors.

The European VC fundraising scene is showing a clear trend: experience matters. Let's unpack some data on this from The State of European Fundraising Report. 1/ Why track record matters. In a cautious market, LPs (investors) are prioritizing established funds with a proven history of success. Experienced firms captured 54.5% of the capital raised in 2023. 2/ New opportunities for LPs. This market shift presents a golden opportunity for LPs to build relationships with top-tier VC firms. Firms they might not have accessed before. 3/ Focus on creating value. Investors are seeking firms that prioritize building real value, not just hype. This is a great long-term trend for the industry. If you are en emerging fund manager, the time to build a strong reputation and track record is now. Focus on building a compelling value proposition and demonstrating a clear path to success to attract investors. Learn how to navigate the effects of the #TechReset.

This analogy is so spot-on it smacks you in the face! “It’s the difference between working at a startup vs. at Google,” said Jason Calacanis when comparing the hunger of emerging manager funds vs. the passivity of larger, established funds. That’s why we actively cultivate a network of high-quality emerging manager funds (EMFs) - they are access points to outliers generating some of the highest returns in venture. We invest in top-tier emerging managers and their outliers, providing investors access to 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗮 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲.

💰 VCs raised considerably less capital in 2023 than in 2022, with only €14.2bn raised compared to €24.5bn the year before. 📢 And which LPs kept it all going? Governments.  🇪🇺 The European Investment Fund #EIF alone committed €2.8bn in 2023, to 78 VC funds, according to its annual report. Values: #boldness BE-COME

“The alignment between LPs & GPs at a smaller fund is unmistakable,” observes my fellow panelist Seyonne Kang of the StepStone Group, and we are increasingly hearing this from institutional investors dissatisfied with returns from larger funds. Moderated by Jason Calacanis, this Fund of Funds panel at the Liquidity Summit 2024 where I spoke alongside Seyonne and Ben Choi of Next Legacy Ventures, discussed how emerging managers are incentivized to generate greater alpha than larger funds. Institutional LPs are realizing they need an emerging manager strategy to generate higher returns in venture. But with >3,000 new emerging manager funds in the U.S. since 2018 (Stepstone data), how can they identify the top managers?

European Private Equity deals ended 2023 stronger than expected. What is private equity (PE) you ask? It's the investment of equity capital in private companies. In a typical private equity deal, an investor buys a stake in a private company with the hope of ultimately realising an increase in the value of that stake. PE typically comes after #angelinvesting in the fundraising trajectory of a company. An excellent #Sussex example of PE is Cow Corner Investing. The PE market is one of haves and have-nots. While deal count may have increased slightly compared to 2022, add-ons accounted for the lion’s share, with megadeals at their lowest since 2014. In contrast, megafunds dominated a near-record year of fundraising—just five funds accounted for more than half of all capital raised. There is little sign the market will be more balanced in 2024, with exits expected to remain low, limiting the prospects for a more normalised fundraising cycle.
