“The overall data shows that more than twice the money flows into venture capital from LPs than comes back to them in a given year.
I wanted to hold onto something positive from this industry鈥攁fter all, I鈥檝e met a few brilliant people in it鈥攂ut looking at the data, it鈥檚 hard, if not impossible.
In a Freudian sense, it's worth remembering that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar鈥攏ot everything has a deeper psychological meaning.
VCs have made it look like magic, but the illusion disappears once you turn on the lights.
At its core, venture capital isn鈥檛 as much a unique asset class as it is a troubled one. The industry survives by injecting more and more capital each year, while leaving the majority of limited partners stuck at the losing end of a pay-your-bid auction.”

“Let me simplify鈥攊t means we hardly see reality as it is. Instead, our perception is shaped by our brains鈥攁nd possibly our hearts too.
Not long ago, I came across a study revealing that the heart is about 60 times stronger than the brain in an electrical field and more than 100 times stronger in a magnetic field.
So, if you ever find yourself wondering whether we鈥檝e all lost our minds, just remember鈥攂rains are overrated anyway.
But then, it begs the question鈥攈ave we lost our connection to heart intelligence too?
Possibly.”

“In entrepreneurial finance, the asymmetry between what needs to be backed and what actually gets financed鈥攐ften driven by purely speculative expectations鈥攊s truly remarkable.
Case in point: CB Insights has been doing an admirable job publishing its "mortality reports," analyzing why some of the most promising and heavily vetted startups fail. And for years, the number one reason for failure among VC-backed startups has remained the same:
There was no market need.”

“The general rule of thumb for a seed-stage round is to preserve at least 80% of your equity pie.
In other words, before you hit the marketplace, don鈥檛 sell more than 20% of your company鈥檚 ownership.”

“The human tendency to focus solely on successful outcomes is well-known in psychology as 鈥渟urvivor bias.鈥
In entrepreneurship, survivor bias isn鈥檛 just present鈥攊t鈥檚 the name of the game.
You must be overoptimistic.”

“Now, if you live in the U.S., keep in mind that the average annual interest rate for a credit card ranges between 15-19%鈥攚hile store credit cards and banks like Wells Fargo charge 25% or more.
This means you鈥檇 have to generate returns comparable to the best-performing family offices鈥攅ntities run by some of the most highly educated investment professionals in the world, whose full-time job is managing wealth.
So, next time a VC thoughtfully suggests you bootstrap your business with a credit card, tell him to take a hike.”

“The saddest reality is that 30% of the clothes produced worldwide today are never sold.
Now add to that the fact that up to 50% of food produced is never eaten鈥攊t simply gets thrown away.
This should make you pause and reflect on one of the most disturbing examples of massive market inefficiency happening across every wealthy country鈥攆rom the United States to Sweden (the home of H&M).”
