if we’re looking for scandal, folks should rather take a peek at the mushroom-like proliferation of early-stage VCs — with no meaningful track record — raising money from green LPs who don’t know any better.

of course something’s inferred — that things are out of control. this is a narrow perspective. successful VCs are raising larger funds to invest in private growth rounds that never used to exist. as the regulatory landscape shifts, shift in VC strategy is reasonable.https://twitter.com/HarryStebbings/status/1101999082644623360 …

Thanks for this Mike, apologies for any misunderstanding and agree with you completely on shift in landscape meaning change in strategy, extended period of privatization etc.

Kind of think your fund falls under that category...

Yep late stage is starting to turn into PE - I’m just waiting for them to start buying larger %, more control and merging some investments. Just delays exits for early investors who really have no say and are taken for the ride. Not sure how that will evolve yet...

What are you gonna do with a billion dollar VC fund when Microsoft goes public with $25 million in revenue?

Not to mention that the data isn't even right. FF was founded in 2005 and Fund V (our first $1b fund) didn't start until 2014. That's 9 years, not 5. Doesn't change
@micsolana's point, but just weird.@HarryStebbings? -
Thanks so much for this Trae and super sorry for that. That is a bad mistake, on timing purely going off the data from a well known data provider but my apologies for that and appreciate your letting me know.
