💼Should You Start with a #Syndication or a #Fund for #VentureCapital? Starting a venture capital fund can be a real challenge, especially for those without a proven track record. This is where syndications come into play as a strategic entry point. Syndications allow new fund managers to raise capital for individual deals, providing a tangible, specific opportunity for investors. This approach can be more appealing than investing in a fund with a broader, less defined strategy. In a syndication, investors see exactly where their money is going, such as acquiring a specific property or business. This transparency builds trust and confidence, making it easier to attract initial capital. For first-time fund managers, this also means proving their ability to source and manage profitable deals, which is crucial for establishing credibility. Moreover, syndications have lower barriers to entry compared to launching a fund. The legal and operational complexities of managing a fund can be overwhelming and expensive. By starting with syndications, fund managers can gradually build their portfolio and experience, learning the ropes of venture capital without the significant upfront costs and regulatory hurdles associated with funds. In summary, syndications can offer a practical and less intimidating way for aspiring fund managers to get started. They provide a clear, focused investment opportunity for investors, build necessary track records, and avoid the high costs and complexities of launching a fund. This phased approach can lay a solid foundation for future fund launches. Ultimately, the decision between starting with a syndication or a fund depends on your unique circumstances, including your track record, investor network, and the nature of your investment opportunities. If you're new to the field, starting with syndications might be a pragmatic choice to build credibility and a track record. Once you have established trust and proven your investment acumen, transitioning to a fund can provide the scalability and stability needed for sustained growth. *For the ones who are already in VC* If you had to start again, would you launch a fund or a syndicate? *For the ones who would like to start* What do you think would improve your chances of success fund or syndicate? P.S. These lessons are part of my journey mastering Venture Capital, to better understand how can I provide value to the community, using #tokenization and #blockchain technology. 🌎Thanks to Bridger Pennington for sharing this great content on https://lnkd.in/eHYWxJcZ 🌐If you want to learn about Tokenized VC, just shoot me a message. Happy to help! #vc #digitalassets #venturecapital #equity #startups #funding #pe #cvc #privateequity #rwa #ai #realworldassets

Crypto Market Heats Up with Institutional Investments The start of 2024 was remarkable for institutional crypto investments. According to Galaxy's latest report, crypto hedge funds have increased to $21 billion, with venture capital raising significant amounts even in tough market conditions. This growth highlights the evolving opportunities in the crypto space. Here's what you need to know from the report: 📈 The total value of crypto-dedicated hedge funds increased from $16.3 billion in December 2023 to $21 billion in March 2024. This marks the first time since October 2022 that the market has seen such growth. 💼 Assets under management (AUM) grew from $12.5 billion to $16.1 billion. 🔍 Market Neutral Funds increased from $1.7 billion to $2.1 billion and Quant Directional Strategies grew from $2 billion to $2.8 billion. 🚀 The VisionTrack Quant Directional Index posted its highest monthly gain of +31.26% in February. Bitcoin's price rally, peaking above $70k, significantly contributed to this performance. 🪴 Venture firms raised $1.19 billion across 22 funds in Q1 2024. Despite the number of funds being average compared to historical data, the average venture fund size has dropped to its lowest level since 2017. 📉 $2.62 billion was invested across 631 deals in Q1 2024. This is lower compared to the $2.9 billion across 781 deals in Q1 2023, and significantly less than the $11.83 billion across 1,393 deals in Q1 2022. 📊 The average number of new investors in pre-seed/seed stage companies rose to 7.46, up from 5.37 in Q4 2023. This suggests a growing interest in early-stage crypto investments. 🌐 The United States leads with 94 active crypto-dedicated platforms, followed by Singapore, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Switzerland. 💎 The total cryptocurrency market capitalization reached $2.75 trillion by the end of Q1 2024, driven by strong performance in liquid token markets and the approval of Bitcoin ETFs. 🔗 Bitcoin maintained dominance, holding between 47%-50% market share throughout the quarter. ⚖️ Stablecoins remain dominant due to regulatory clarity and their role as a stable asset in the volatile crypto market. 🌱 DeFi continues to grow, with significant activity on platforms like Solana and Base. 🎮 The gaming sector saw a 155% increase in active addresses and a 370% rise in transactions year-over-year. While the industry is growing, it faces challenges such as regulatory uncertainties and the need for stronger security measures. However, the increasing institutional interest and continuous innovation in blockchain technology present vast opportunities for future growth.

𝐇𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐕𝐂 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬: 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐦𝐢𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬 Hedge funds, once fervently diving into venture capital during the pandemic-induced tech dealmaking boom, are facing the inevitable downturn as the market shifts. Reports reveal that many active hedge funds in venture are now offloading startups in secondary markets, with Tiger Global leading the charge since earlier this year. The trend is attributed to the nature of hedge funds operating out of commingled public and private funds, causing a forced exit from VC strategies due to capital withdrawal requests from limited partners. While some have labeled these hedge funds as "effectively distressed sellers," they are not desperate yet, utilizing financial engineering such as securing loans against future sales to navigate the cash-flow challenges posed by secondary market sales. This development raises concerns for the VC ecosystem, given that these large hedge funds played a pivotal role in fueling late-stage startups in 2020 and 2021. The potential pullback of hedge funds from venture capital is evident in their reduced investment pace, plummeting by 83% in 2023. Industry analysts predict a continued decline in hedge fund participation in venture unless interest rates decrease, signaling a significant shift in focus toward other asset classes like public stocks and credit.

After four years as an investor at Invesco US Private Capital, I’m excited to announce that I’ve joined the Frictionless Capital investment team to help Logan Jastremski and Diego Perez de Ayala build a world class crypto investment firm Frictionless Capital. Throughout my career I have concentrated on two primary verticals: technology and finance. My introduction to crypto came in 2017 when I fell deep down the rabbit hole of permissionless blockchains, cryptography, and meme culture [s/o CryptoKitties]. While working on wall street in public equities, I saw what many people also saw: technology is aggressively consuming, influencing, and fundamentally reshaping all public equity industries. This realization spurred my shift from equities to tech. At Invesco, ($1.6T global asset manager) technology became my passion, hobby and work. This period of my career was marked by several key initiatives for the firm including the advancement of AI chatbots, distribution APIs, and pioneering tech integration strategies across enterprise architectures. In 2020, I joined Invesco Private Capital where I was responsible for investing across several distinct pools of capital including venture funds (fund and direct investing), venture SMAs, and a crypto venture fund. Although I worked as a generalist, I gravitated towards crypto, and technology given my background and domain expertise. During my time as an investor, I led or co-led investments of more than $123M across several oversubscribed direct investments and early-stage venture/crypto funds. So what's next? As a fund investor, I was initially attracted to the Frictionless team due to their well-articulated and differentiated worldview. Over time, the team played a pivotal role in deepening my understanding of and mental frameworks for evaluating blockchain scalability and the importance of data propagation. I was particularly impressed by the team's early-stage, high-throughput focus and their ability to effectively support founders from ideation to category defining, exemplified by their work with Backpack. During my tenure at Invesco and Invesco Private Capital, I have had the privilege of collaborating with exceptional individuals, companies, and top-tier venture firms who helped me shape a distinctive viewpoint that I look forward to sharing with you, through my research, over the next few months. I am tremendously grateful for the opportunity to now partner with Logan and Diego. Our goal is to support founders tackling the largest markets in their earliest stages. I look forward to working with our portfolio founders including: https://lnkd.in/et6y_m3F If you are working on an initiative that aligns with our vision, please reach out to me at Michael@frictionless.fund
