Analysis: since 2011, 60% of VC funds raised in the US every year have been seed funds; the rate of non-seed funds raised has been stable for the past 15 years
Eric Feng : Tweets: @workmj , @howardlindzon , @shaig , @bznotes , and @cristinagberta Tweets: Michael Jackson / @workmj : “15 years ago, it was about 7 investments made before you got one return. Now that ratio sits at 10 investments required to get one return.” Lots of interesting VC data in this read from @efeng. http://medium.com/... Lindzon Lindzon / @howardlindzon : “A stats-based look behind the venture capital curtain” by @efeng...love 'if you can't invent the future the next best thing is to invest in it. ' I would add that living in the future counts as an investment http://medium.com/... Shai Goldman / @shaig : There is some discussions that there is less seed money now. I don't know where this POV is coming from. See the data."A stats-based look behind the venture capital curtain" by @efeng http://medium.com/... http://twitter.com/... Bilal Zuberi / @bznotes : Great analysis of the growth in number of VCs and $$ deployed over last 15 years. The rapid growth in # of VCs is reason why VC “social signaling” (i.e. the FOMO pressure that others might do a deal) should have less relevance now than ever before. http://medium.com/... Cristina Berta Jones / @cristinagberta : Great stats on the VC industry. Astounding the growth in the number of seed funds which today account for 60% of all funds raised vs 30% a decade ago. “Seed investing is the status symbol of Silicon Valley”. Here's to hoping philanthropy is next ! http://medium.com/...
