Challenges in Valuing Investments and Misalignments in LP Incentive Mechanisms

In this chapter, the speakers discuss the challenges faced by LPs (Limited Partners) in valuing investments and the disparities in numbers provided by GPs (General Partners). They also explore how LPs are incentivized based on the performance of their portfolio and how this may not align with their personal paycheck. The conversation delves into the historical context of incentive mechanisms in venture capital and how they may be outdated in the current market. Additionally, the speakers touch on the misalignments caused by fund size and the importance of considering management fees and GP commitments on a case-by-case basis.
