Today I’m debuting Parable.

Successful companies make the impossible, inevitable. Their stories live long enough to become parables that inspire generations.

We’re excited to announce Sunflower Capital Funds I and II. Sunflower is a $250m fund that partners at the earliest stage with companies building foundations for modern enterprises, critical industries, and the physical world.

@fpontaza @DStrachman @raise @1517fund @invariantes Agreed 🙌🏻

[Nichole Wischoff @NWischoff]

Over the past 2.5 years I have put my head down and focused on what I know to be true - there are few fantastic dedicated early stage firms and even fewer that you have ever heard of. Perhaps this firm could be both. https://t.co/qknD7O9EgC

@daveclark85 Have you run a Pearsons correlation between year 5 TVPI and year 10 TVPI? Be curious, I would assume not correlated, but be interesting to see if there is a point in time with strong predictive power.

[Jamie (Dranoff) Rhode, CFA @Lady10x]

@daveclark85 Agreed! IRR is noisy, TVPI is correlated to DPI. If you are looking for significant DPI before year 6, early-stage VC is not for you, look to other asset classes like Buyout. Compounding capital for long periods of time lead to outsized returns. Duration is a feature not a bug!

[David Weisburd 🚀 @DWeisburd]

Ever wondered about the landscape of early-stage venture capital? Our recent guest on the 10X Capital Podcast, @Lady10x, shared some mind-boggling insights: out of 845 unicorns, only 3 funds have been in more than 3% at the seed stage. What does this mean? The VC world is incredibly fragmented at the seed stage.

Jamie goes on to point out an interesting trend. Out of those 850-ish unicorns, 70% have had underdog founders - immigrants, women, people of color. Even more intriguing, 30% of these unicorns had at least one founder who isn't white. This isn't just a statistic, it's a testament to the power of diversity and the potential it holds.

But what does this mean for venture capitalists and their limited partners? It demands a shift in perspective. It's time to think and invest differently. The success stories aren't confined to a certain demographic or a specific geographical location anymore. The underdogs are rising, and they're bringing forth a wave of innovation that's truly remarkable.

Tune in to episode 72 of the 10X Capital Podcast to hear more of Jamie's insights on investing in top emerging managers. Let's broaden our horizons together.

@IanRountree Proof of strong opinions, loosely held…. :)

[Jamie (Dranoff) Rhode, CFA @Lady10x]

@cupazhou @SuperclustersLP Thank you so much for having me on your podcast, I had so much fun!

[Jamie (Dranoff) Rhode, CFA @Lady10x]

@daveclark85 It’s why the median (middle number, 50%) return of early stage VC isn’t very attractive… and why doing only a handful of funds gives you a high probability of capturing the median. 80% of the return comes from ~ 20% of the Funds.
