As venture capitalists, we demand transparency from the founders we work with, but yet, we refuse to provide it to our own investors. This article proposes a solution to fix that!

After the latest college scandal, I can’t help but revisit my one of my first blockchain application idea which allows students from low-income communities to apply to multiple colleges w/o being judged by their zip code. 🎓🎓#college #blockchain https://t.co/iF8tAdpMlf

1/A capitalist econ. system allow us to uphold our freedom, but that does not mean we stop thinking about how to improve it. We need to reform our capitalist system into one which promotes equal opportunity and diminishes wealth disparity. #capitalism https://t.co/PKzOh45mCB

2/ A good place to start is to increase taxes on the uber rich. But we absolutely have to ensure that this money, when funneled into the government, works for everyone in our country. #government #wealth #taxes https://t.co/PKzOh45mCB

SCIENTISTS: “We’ve produced the first-ever image of a supermassive Black Hole, 55-million light years away”
RESPONSE: “Oooh!”

SCIENTISTS: “We’ve concluded that humans are catastrophically warming Earth”
RESPONSE: “That conflicts with what I want to be true, so it must be false”

Despite "past performance is not an indicator of future outcomes,” there are tons of interesting patterns that we can observe looking at the past! #blockchain #markets #trends #investing

The Investment Banking business is prime for disruption by newer, more agile digital solutions. With the right legislation and regulation, ICOs could become a powerful substitute for IPOs. #tech #blockchain #IB #banking

Awesome to read about the gains in women/latinx/black hiring at Google, but we can’t stop now. Diversity must stay at the forefront of hiring, especially when these people bring incredible value and perspectives to both the company and their communities. #diversity #tech #Google

5| If LPs become more receptive to fee models beyond 2 and 20, the VC industry will see a reversal in the conditions that have allowed for the “chronic misallocation of capital" to persist this long.

1| According to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, venture capital is broken. 20% of the 100 total investments made generated returns better than a public-market equivalent. The Kauffman Foundation places blame on themselves and other inst. LPs. They aren’t wrong by doing so.

[Joel Camacho @joelacamacho]

4| And GPs don’t propose new fee models because LPs aren’t receptive to hearing them out. LPs distrust fee models that deviate from 2 and 20, especially if a first time fund proposes it. GPs revert to the 2 and 20 b/c it is the path of least resistance
