This $23bn fund from Lexington Partners announced last week to buy VC secondaries is a strong signal that holders of large stakes in private companies are getting more realistic in their expectations. This has been good news for Forge, the leading market for private secondaries, where as CEO Kelly Rodriques has been predicting an increase in trading volumes as sellers get more realistic. It has taken a while for them to realise that valuations really are down 50% from the highs of 2 years ago!

“We are grateful to our investors for their continued support in this oversubscribed share offer.” 🪙 Trevor Hope comments on the £50 million oversubscribed fundraise for the Baronsmead VCTs. “We are enthusiastic to deploy this capital in an exciting growth equity market which is poised to benefit from a wave of dynamic technological changes driven by the adoption of generative artificial intelligence and generally improving economic conditions.” As with previous years, this 2023/24 tax year fundraise was oversubscribed above its initial £30mn target, reflecting strong investor demand despite a challenging fundraising environment. https://lnkd.in/e5nRF77x #growthequity #vct | Capital at risk. Not an investment recommendation.

Early stage start-ups that attract VC/PE investments often struggle to find a full time CTO due to economic or time constraints. This paves way for CTO Office consultancy due to a multitude of benefits.

A Promising Yet Concerning Outlook. 💼 Had to share Max Dworin's post on Peter Walker's team report from Carta's Q2 State of Private Markets. 📈 The Midwest's share of venture capital slightly improved to ~6% in Q2, but it lags compared to previous years. With the silver lining of Ohio covering around 2.34% of total #VC raised, outperforming key states. 🌟 However, there's cause for concern - the data may not be comprehensive, and Midwest VC challenges persist. As Max mentions, there is a high chance that the data is biased to a central equity management platform and may not represent companies using other reporting/management tools. Nonetheless, it is extremely valuable information and serves us well to navigate the current #startups challenges.

Did you know that the concept of "venture capital" dates back to the mid-20th century? The first venture capital firm, American Research and Development Corporation (ARDC), was founded in 1946 by Georges Doriot. ARDC played a pivotal role in financing the growth of numerous innovative companies, including Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), paving the way for the modern venture capital industry.

Director of Enterprise Regulatory and Compliance Solutions @ S&P Global | Franchise Owner @ STRIDE Fitness
Declining early-stage valuations coupled with a slowdown in M&A and the closure of public markets have significantly limited opportunities for successful exits of venture-backed companies. Recognizing this scenario as a chance for strategic maneuvering, Sequoia Heritage and Brookfield Asset Management have established Pinegrove Capital Partners, a collaborative effort focused on secondary investments. Their inaugural fund is targeting a $2 billion total raise with a focus on acquiring undervalued startups from venture capitalists and founders facing liquidity challenges. Much like the surge observed in the Private Credit sector, we can anticipate a notable increase in the emergence of fresh secondary funds. This projection is rooted in the persistently low frequency of liquidity events, which continues to characterize the current landscape.
