  • Why run the full marathon when you can join at mile 13 and still win? That's the PVC secondary playbook to reduce risk and cut the hold time in half. We've been skipping the J-curve since 2020. Our first two funds sped up liquidity for our investors. Now we're raising our third fund.

    Founder: Practical Venture Capital, 500 Startups

    Practical Venture Capital is now raising #PVC3 #TheHalftimeFund, our third #VentureCapital #Secondary fund. PVC-3 is a registered #506c fund available to Qualified Purchasers and Level 10 Super Villains. More info on our new secondary fund + #SkipTheJCurve strategy here: https://lnkd.in/gapTsvMr #PVC buys discounted access (30-70%) in mature (5-10 yr old) VC funds and companies already doing well ($50-100M+ rev). Our "Skip the J-Curve" strategy cuts VC hold time in half, and returns #DPI faster than traditional VC. Our first fund PVC-1 ($20M, 2020 vintage) has returned 0.6X DPI in <5 years. Practical Venture Capital (PVC) is led by Dave McClure and Aman Verjee, CFA, who have previously conspired to take over the world at #PayPal, #FoundersFund, #500Startups, and #SPECTRE. Over the past two decades, we have invested in hundreds of companies and VC funds in over 75 countries around the world, a few of which are not dead (yet). PVC specializes in tech startups, VC secondary, and sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads. So hurry up and give us your money, or the puppy gets it. ???? ??

    To wrap up our time in Cairo, we visited two companies that changed the game in Egypt: Breadfast and Kamelizer! Breadfast is Egypt’s leading online grocery brand. They operate a fully vertically integrated supply chain, delivering 3,500 SKUs on-demand in under 60 minutes. Their selection includes a range of freshly baked bread, coffee, fruits, vegetables, eggs, dairy, meat and poultry, alongside a range of CPG staples designed to serve a household’s daily and weekly needs. A huge thank you to Sherif Zaatar, Chief Supply Officer at Breadfast, for giving our Geeks an insightful tour of their fulfillment center, where products are carefully stored, packaged, and dispatched. It was like walking through a Costco! Afterward, we headed to Breadfast Coffee, their very own café, serving delicious pastries and incredible beverages. Last but not least, Hanan Abdel Meguid, Founder, CEO of Kamelizer, welcomed us to Kamelizer Spaces, where we had the chance to explore the vibrant Fifth Settlement, bustling with fantastic restaurants and cafés. Kamelizer is an Egyptian angel startup studio providing services, expertise, and more to technology startups. Kamelizer is Egypt’s first startup Investment Studio, focusing on working spaces and taking technology startup ideas “from hype to reality.” The company also opened Kamelizer Spaces, a series of office and event spaces crafted for businesses and independent professionals to work and network seamlessly. We're incredibly grateful to Sherif and Hanan for organizing our visits and giving us the opportunity to experience Egypt's thriving tech scene and remarkable talent firsthand ?? ??

    Practical Venture Capital grows secondaries portfolio with the launch of third VC fund. PVC Secondary Fund 3, which targets a final close in 2025, will focus on LP-led, less competitive deals.

  • Benchmarking data for recent vintages of US venture capital funds, showing: * Less than 10% of 2021 vintage funds have any DPI yet; * Declining graduation rates - in 2018, 31% of seed-funded startups made it to Series A within 2 years, but that looks like 15% for the 2022 funds In other words, the 2018 vintage is like the 1984 NHL entry draft but the 2021/2022 vintage is shaping more like the 1992 NFL draft.

    Head of Insights @ Carta | Data Storyteller

    New data - this time for emerging VCs! Our first ever VC Fund Performance report is now live, with data up through Q1 2024. Carta serves more than 3,000 venture firms across many categories, so we’ve narrowed this analysis in a few ways to make it more impactful. Only U.S. funds are included, and all included funds are direct venture investors (as opposed to fund of funds). Funds must have been in vintage years 2017 through 2022. Each vintage year includes at least 120 underlying funds (and far more in most vintages). We believe this represents a dramatic expansion of the public data available for small VC fund performance. Note that this report does include some data from funds over $100 million as well, a traditional delineation point between emerging and established managers. ???????? ???????????????????? ? ???????? ?????????????? ????????????????????: Funds in the 2022 vintage have deployed about 43% of their committed capital at the 24 month mark, the lowest share of any analyzed vintage. Prior vintages ranged from 47%-60% after 24 months. ?? ? ???????????????????? ?????????? ??????????????????: 30.6% of companies that raised a seed round in Q1 2018 made it to Series A within two years. Only 15.4% of Q1 2022 seed startups did so in the same timeframe. ?? ? ?????????????????????????? ???????? ???? ?????? ???????????? ??????????????: Less than 10% of 2021 funds have had any DPI after 3 years. This is obviously the first release of what we hope to be a quarterly deep-dive, so if you have ideas on how to improve it shout out in the comments! Also if you are a Carta Fund Admin customer, you can certainly read the public report – but you'll be receiving an exclusive, expanded analysis in your inbox this morning. We appreciate you ??
