Founders

🌶️Spicy take:

Venture capital as an industry is now mature and super saturated.

Typically when this occurs, new entrants emerge with disruptive models... 👀

I think the most disruptive change to the VC model would be something that aligns incentives better. I'm not sure what that looks like (and I don't think the model is broken today) but I don't think the value-add piece is the part that would be susceptible to disruption.

I was thinking simply about how valuation usually isn't the deciding factor when choosing investors, but it's the only one that's guaranteed. The value you expect an investor to add in other ways may not materialize and there's not good ways to tie their equity to those factors. Maybe there shouldn't be 🤷

Say more. 

Are you referring to Preferred vs Common Shares and liquidation preferences?  

Why don't you think the value-add piece would be susceptible to disruption?

(For the record, I don't think its broken today. Just getting mature as every industry does.)
