The challenge for the VC industry of course is that there are fewer 10x multiple home-runs than in previous years. Somehow the industry is either going to have to shrink so there are more home-runs per VC fund (bringing it back up to 2-3-2-3) or find some other way of maximising returns (perhaps investing less capital in earlier stage companies-seed). On the 1-3-3-3 equation the maths don't stack up.<br><br>How did the presentation go? Did you get a good reception? Well done Nick, great overview.
