💣 Nearly HALF 5X+ VC funds are small funds sub $50m - I posted this last Christmas and tagged the 2 top emerging managers backing FoFs in Europe. Little would I know that by final closing time I'd be so fortunate and grateful for having both on board :) Data for the stats from Pattern Ventures, proving that emerging small funds smash larger, established funds. Now we just have to deliver and score a 5x+ pice of cake haha 😹 But hey, what would life be without a tough challenge 💪 #deeptech #europeantech #venturecapital #emergingmanagers Molten Ventures Multiple Capital

💬 Seniority Structures: When Do They Really Make Sense? We often see investors pushing for seniority, even in Series A rounds, when the new investment is 5-10x larger than a previous seed round of less than $1M. But is the benefit really there?
