VC distributions to paid-in capital (#DPI), which measures how much capital a fund returned relative to what was invested, have sunk to a 14-year low. That's according to new PitchBook data from Marina Temkin, CFA released earlier this month. Founders might be wondering, why does this matter to me? Limited partners (investors in the venture funds) need cash distributions to recycle this cash back into new venture funds. Until we see significant liquidity through IPOs and M&As, funds with low historical DPI or limited track records are going to have a hard time raising more capital. And this is only going to make fundraising tougher for founders. Ultimately, this is one circular ecosystem. This is a critical time for #founders to ask how the #VC funds they are looking to lead their fundraising rounds are really doing. A few questions to consider - What is the VC firm's historical investment track record? How are the funds that they started investing out of 5-10 years ago doing today? Have they seen some significant successes in the past 3 years? Did they exit companies and return capital to their LPs during the boom times of 2021-2022? Make sure to do your diligence before you pick your investor! https://lnkd.in/gyCBg6dX
