Deep dives
The Decline of Traditional Venture Capital
The traditional venture capital model is perceived as declining, largely due to its reliance on exclusive networks that are no longer sufficient for generating significant returns. The landscape has shifted with the rise of open networks and platforms, making it crucial for investors to attract top founders rather than just chasing lucrative deals. To succeed, venture capitalists must provide tangible value beyond just capital, as merely investing without added support does not lead to exceptional outcomes. This evolution in the VC space demands that general partners actively contribute meaningful services to founders, instead of relying on broader platforms for engagement.
