THREAD FOR LPs/GPs in VC:
1) I've been talking to VC fund managers (GPs)& the limited partners ("LPs") who invest in them (I'm an LP in numerous VC funds) about expectation for early DPI from seed&pre-seed funds. (DP ="Distributed to Paid In Capital" - i.e., cash $ back to LPs)
I’ve been thinking about how to level the playing field for overlooked or underrepresented founders
One lever to pull is VCs being transparent about what we’re looking for
I can only speak for myself but let’s start with how I think about the founding team AKA the ‘3 As’ 🫱🏾🫲🏽
