How does LP allocation to venture capital asset class fluctuate depending on market cycles?

Matt Curtolo (@mctolo) shares his insights on @VC10X_🎙️

While allocation to venture capital does fluctuate depending on market cycles, Matt believes it should not.

To get results from the venture capital asset class limited partners need to be patient and consistently allocate to venture capital.

If they depend on market cycles to decide allocations, it would lead to a bad decision as VC only shows results in 10-12 year horizon.

The current market cycle will have no effect on how today's investments will perform 10 years from now.

Innovation doesn't stop for market cycles, and neither should allocations to venture capital.

As a matter of fact, some great companies were founded during downcycles. The limited partners who kept deploying in those times were handsomely rewarded.
