Their Q&A in our Sept. newsletter: https://t.co/HqA2OgnXAj
"Some 98 first-time U.S. venture funds raised $4.5B this year through Aug. 18...that would put first-time funds on track to beat the multiyear low for debut funds hit last year, when 142 such funds raised $6.2B." h/t @E2Jdj cc @MultipleCapital https://t.co/7006RkWaDQ
8/ First-time funds are also targeting undercapitalized sectors, like climate. About 11% of debut funds announced this year, such as @E2jdj, focus on sustainability, compared with 3% for non-debut funds this year, per@DifferentFunds.
1/ Debut venture funds are still just a tiny portion of overall venture fundraising, but the tide appears to be turning in their favor https://t.co/SjqstibaJY

"First-time funds consistently rank as some of the best performers and their investors are rewarded with better returns. That is why they are back." The data is clear whether it comes from @PitchBook, @Preqin, Cambridge, or @WorkMJ
