The conventional view is Jeff's. It's how 95% of emerging managers sell their funds to LPs. But since emerging funds are usually smaller and earlier than legacy funds, the effect of that thinking is to constrain the number and types of companies that receive investment.

Ha. Not how I sold my fund to my LPs. But thanks for calling me conventional.

Del Johnson @DelJohnsonVCDon’t let VCs and LPs play the parlor trick of accusing you of personal insults when you critique a networked based system by saying it has a people problem. The system was purposefully built and is maintained by personalities and relationships. That’s a choice.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

This is an important conversation. I’d rather have good strategy than good vibes.

Btw, I didn’t mention anything about your particular strategy, I said the view you espoused in this thread is the conventional one. I have no idea if you used this reasoning to close your fund, I’m not here to speculate on anything but what you said up there

“This is probably the wrong tactic” is pretty soft, imo. I mean is the issue really that I was too strong or is it that my view is disfavored?

I think in a time like this you have to go out of your way to make sure that the other person seems heard and seen. The reason for this is that generally nobody is listening. So if you have someone disagreeing before the loop closes, our very bodies reject it.
