This is a pivotal year for VCs to maintain the trust of family offices. In 2023, FOs rated venture capital as the asset class that most fell short of their expectations. Fortunately, they are still bullish: Above any other asset, they believe VC performance will improve in 2024. As I’ve stated previously, more & more FOs are venturing into venture. But to ensure FOs keep their trust in VCs as a long-term partner, VCs would be wise to: -Align on liquidity timelines upfront -Inspire confidence in their ability to manage market volatility -Demonstrate a consistent history of capital returns and successful exits High absolute returns is the main reason FOs invest in VC. One advantage of pre/seed investing, like we specialize in at?Kyber Knight Capital, is that return on capital is not overly impacted by the slowdown in public markets since many exits come via M&As. Investing together at the earliest stages is a reliable way for FOs to see the performance?outcomes they want in 2024 and beyond.

Behind the Scenes ?→ ?Managing ~5,000 Investors/LPs Syndicate leads can deploy tens of millions or hundreds of millions of capital via SPVs BUT it doesn't come without lots of management when working with thousands of investors. Obviously, there are tons of LP questions and topics you will need to address when running hundreds of deals. Here's some of the topics/questions that keep syndicate leads busy: -Portfolio company updates -Questions about a deal (when LPs are evaluating) -Trying to get into a deal late i.e. in closing or allocation is firmed up -Wanting to cancel an investment into a deal -Asking about liquidity timeline/expectation -Company shut down details -Distributions questions post exit, IPO, company buy back -Path to profitability -Understanding how much capital is committed to a deal (to better predict SPV setup costs) -Confirmation on existing VCs that are following on or not -How much personal capital we are putting in -Our take on why we like a deal -Sometimes not a question, just feedback on why they think a deal we are running sucks What are other popular questions/topics I missed?

There's still a lot of mistrust and scepticism when it comes to digital asset funds, with many investors believing most 'GPs' are twenty-something year old College drop-outs trying to get 'to the moon' ?? But in reality, the market has come a long way over the past 18 months and we've seen plenty of serious players in this space making a name for themselves. With that said, when 3 senior members of CPP Investments ($570bn net assets) decide to bridge the worlds of traditional and digital asset management, the market tends to listen. And that's exactly what Ruairi H., Jay Vyas, CFA and Jim Hwang have done with Firinne Capital. Derived from the Gaelic word for "truth", Firinne's strategies capture the exceptional return opportunity of digital assets through risk-controlled systematic active management. We talked to the guys ahead of their trip to the Gulf next month.

Nearly 30 domestic VC firms set up between 2010 and 2014 need to exit their first funds. VCs relying on selling secondaries in their companies to exit are finding choosy buyers. The supply of secondaries is anywhere in the $1.5–2.4 billion range, but few buyers are interested. VCs are pushed to exit because the regulator, Sebi, is insistent that funds don't get an extension. This is now causing a strain on the relationship between VCs and their backers.

Work with people that are motivated during times of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). ?? Raising capital in today’s market is difficult. You can have a well-developed pipeline of prospects and still struggle to raise – even with a great deal on hand. Larger firms are also feeling the pain. SREIT’s new fundraising has dwindled to about $15M/month, down from more than $600M/month in the first half of 2022.???? The Wall Street Journal recently published an article on the situation, titled “A $10 Billion Real-Estate Fund Is Bleeding Cash and Running Out of Options” (linked below). ?? This situation is creating a MASSIVE opportunity for the bold, entrepreneurial types that are staying active during times of FUD. The entrepreneurs that remain strategic and opportunistic will invariably have better returns because they swim against the tide. We are incredibly grateful to be working with these types, such as Elijah Brown, Randy Smith, Justin Moy - The Presidents Club Investor ??, Chris Davis, Tim Mai, and Sandeep Shah. ??? If you want to partner with a team that has invested in real estate for over 15 years, with 90+ dispositions, $2.1B in exit value, and has delivered an average net IRR above 20%, let’s connect.

#PARTIALEXITS and its not just the US. A couple of acquisition deals I supported recently followed the same route. The fund had made a time sensitive commitment to return capital to the investors but the portfolio company had too many issues for a clean sale. What resulted was a deflated auction process and partial exit. The funds retained a substantial minority position with the new owners. A bit like selling your house to someone but still using the kitchen, a compromise for everyone. Whatever the reasons and structure of a partial exit, the objective remains the same: balance the responsibility of distributing capital to investors while still maximizing portfolio company valuations. #privateequity #investors British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA) PitchBook
