Interesting thread and insight from @EdGrapeNutZimm on timing and size of distributions - 8 seems to be the magic number 🌱💰

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)

@Kieranleehill @AscensionGrp Epic !!

[Chantal Cox @drchantalcox]

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’ 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽
