SF strong than ever. 1 year after A16Z announced "Moving to the cloud". The opposite happened. There are now more GPs in the Bay Area than ever (on both an relative and absolute basis).

New data on Capital Calls! ☎️ Everyone's talking about #VC pacing slow down, but we've seen less data around capital calls & how the past several quarters compare to ’20-‘21. 🧵@EvanTarzian & @LauraLPThompson dug into @SapphirePrtnrs’ early-stage mngr data & the findings are 🤯

We talk to a fair number of LPs. If we connect the dots, it seems there is a huge explosion coming. Here's how it might unfold:

Tough time to raise a fund, but if you do, the next few years should be an amazing time to deploy.

Under the new macro environment with high inflation and interest rate, it'd be time for real value-add investors to shine not only for PE but also for VC

It's hard to believe in 2022 how analog investing in funds still is. I just ran across subscription document that was 68 pages that required filling out a PDF and scanning back. There is movement of course, but nothing is standardized.

All of this “tax unrealized gains” talk is by folks who have never taken risk, built things, invested capital. That risk-taking is why the USA leads in innovation. If you make short-term sellers (to pay tax) out of long-term risk takers, it is toxic to the system.

Reserve ratio has always been a hot topic and this is very interesting data point. Thanks for sharing!

To reserve or not to reserve, that is the question… and a question we are asked frequently by #VCs. The answer? It depends on your investing strategy, but TBD on results. 😉
