Many faces of VC

“Many faces of VC” – a cartoon that illustrates the different career stages of venture capitalists.

Currently, there are 1,816 venture firms in the US with around 12,000 staff; however, according to Seth Levine’s analysis 65% of investment rounds fail to return 1x capital and only 4% return greater than 10x capital.

For those VCs that do not make partner track or whose firm does not raise another fund and become Zoombie funds, it can often be challenging to find another career.

“Doesn’t sound as if they have much Imagination in the first place if they can’t pivot.”

“Nice cartoon and interesting stat. Underscores Importance of brand and scale to succeed. Just like MooCs, GitHub, substack, social media tools in general are disrupting Ivy leagues, innovation hubs and ecosystem may reduce the dependence and also make capital more accessible.”
