"venture capital investment went from a rough balance between software and hardware — 55 percent to 45 percent in 2006, for instance — to a massive imbalance: 92 percent to eight percent in 2017" - https://t.co/0IKmOClB7m

LPs "invested in 226 venture capital funds in the fourth quarter, the fewest for that time period since 2012" per @Preqin's latest data. Quite the decline, and quite interesting with respect to our recent GP benchmark with @firstrepublic https://t.co/PdU7z79Jld

@mackkolarich dropped some facts during the first session of @assureco Structured Masterclass. To the question of why are SPVs and alts so popular today? Mack stated alpha is found in private assets, Amazon IPO'ed at $438M, SpaceX's latest private financing round was at $125B.

The CHIPS Act was signed into law today - huge news. Thrilled to play a small role in supporting the DeepTech community & highlighting its serious investment gaps. The bill will help several teams tackling some of the major needs we identified 2 yrs ago! https://t.co/KGOfoQgN0u

[Daniel Correa @CorreaDan]

@RossMoRock @runforsomething Is this position still open? A friend wants to apply. It's listed on your site but the link is dead and your leadership team doesn't list anyone in the role

@marcvarta @AliBHamed Re: secondaries and VC, we anticipate an increase in activity as well, though different segments of the market are discounting / ready to reprice more readily than others https://t.co/FIi4AEgwH8
