Crazy stat. 18 years for VCs to get fully liquid. I don't think it's sustainable. Secondary markets will become much more robust and liquid if incentives for going public don’t change in the medium term

Doesn't this make most 10yr funds not viable? They are obligated to return the capital right?

you probably don’t think about liquidity enough // it is what it is  // build value, not valuation

Yup, most have 2-3, 1-year extensions but after that their options are limited to A) Liquidating positions in secondaries, B) Raising a Continuity Fund that buys the positions in the prior fund allowing LPs to cash out if desired C) Changing the LPA
