Raising money for startups all over the world from investors all over the world - Glenluna Ventures. Principal - Manchester Angels
Really interesting data from PitchBook. 75% of all funds in the US were raised by just 30 firms. When you're putting together your A list of investor targets, probably makes sense to include the folks who have money! Great post by Jason M. Lemkin.
Best if they invest in what you’re buiding 😊 If not it makes it harder to get a spot with the 25% left.

What's the deal with equity raising? Tomorrow at noon, I'll be looking at equity raising activity in Q1, how it compares to this time last year and the longer term trends we're picking up. I'll also be taking a look at some specific raises, both on the larger side and some interesting firms at Seed stages, and taking a look at how they conform to traditional capital journeys. Data, trends, VTOLs 🚁 and Anti-UAVs 🛩 are in store (though for anyone that wants to 1v1 me on Rust 🔫 you'll need to speak to me about that separately).

It was a reunion of friends new and old, and extra fun to lead a breakout with Roseanne Wincek — topic, winning in competitive situations, some takeaways: - You’ve got to compete (and hopefully win) within the parameters of what you/your fund are comfortable with — this includes the level of diligence you need to do - You can’t lose a deal that was never an option. As in, if someone else does the deal at 50% higher price, was that ever a deal you were going to do? - Building relationships and growing them over time = always a part of the winning recipe - An investment is a long term relationship between the founder and the investor, treat the diligence process as such, on both sides! We had a predictably competitive bunch, so I can’t wait to hear other thoughts folks have, what did I miss, share here! All Raise 2024 🌟

I see founders pour so much energy into their pitch without realizing it's only the first step in the investment process. The reality is that after the pitch comes a month(s) of diligence, and that diligence will be what makes or breaks the round. Think about all those founders on Dragon’s Den who get a deal on TV and then it falls through later—we don’t exactly why, but we do know something went wrong in the deeper discussions. So the way you make sure you’re ready to nail not just your pitch but the rest of your fundraising process is to have a thoughtful, compelling, frictionless data room that makes diligence easy. By doing so, founders and investors get to spend their time building a relationship with each other, and coming to terms on things that actually matter. I'm getting into all of this tomorrow Nov 5th at 4pm PST. We'll talk about principles of a good data room, what should be in it, a process for creating it, and how it can make your next raise successful. You can sign up by going to the link in my LinkedIn bio. See you there!

#VC is a #powerlaw asset class. VCs need to consistently access the top 1% of companies in a way that generates fund-returning outcomes (not just logos for their web page). This is the most predictable way of consistently generating top-quartile returns. Hey ho. We knew this but here's the data...👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
Next time you hear somebody claiming "small funds outperform", just remember this data from Pitchbook sourced by our Senior Analyst Jonty Russell. Just 5% of the sub-$100m funds raised between 2010 and 2019 have data on performance. So be careful what conclusions you draw from this data. Sub-$100m funds also comprised just under 80% of all the funds raised during that period. So, all other things being equal, they should also make up 80% of the best-performing funds. Again, something to consider when people claim small funds make up a disproportionate number of the best-performing funds of any vintage. The more we dig into this data, the more we realise that it's simply not robust enough to draw any firm conclusions on how to build a VC programme. You have to go back to first principles. VC is a #powerlaw asset class. VCs need to consistently access the top 1% of companies in a way that generates fund-returning outcomes (not just logos for their web page). This is the most predictable way of consistently generating top-quartile returns.

1wThat's absolutely insane. 75% of total funds raised by just 30 firms. That being said, there'll be some great smaller funds out there too that will be adding a whole heap of value into their portfolio. Also, I think this might be skewed by some of the AI super funds. For non-AI businesses the targeted investor list could look very different.
