Evolution of Seed Funds in Venture Capital

The venture capital landscape has evolved significantly over the years, with a growing number of seed funds and increased focus on venture allocation.

Despite the vast number of emerging managers, some investors choose to focus on funds above a certain size threshold to ensure high ownership and maximize returns.
