I was reading Chris Dixon’s blog tonight. I came across this blog post about getting a computer science degree as the best degree for getting into venture capital or working at a VC-backed start up. I just completed an exercise where I went out to hire a new associate for my VC firm, GRP Partners.
A typical VC might see 500 opportunities cross his or her desk every year; for larger, more prominent ones it could be 2,000. VCs therefore use whatever heuristics they can in order to triage the deal flow. That means they spend a lot less time actively seeking out new deals than they do responding to inbound deal flow.
The stealthy startup is trying to reinvent realestate (again), but instead of commercial properties, which WeWork focused on, Neumann is looking into revolutionizing rental properties. Andreessen Horowitz declined to comment beyond the blog post , and Flow did not respond immediately to request for comment.) The vision.
Ken Smythe, founder and CEO of Next Round Capital Partners — a capital markets and VC secondaries firm — validated our impressions. Bean’s SaaS enabled marketplace matches a network of elite accountants (only 4% of applicants get access) with CFOs and companies. Sandbar gets $4.8 million to fund fight against financial crime.
What is the True Sentiment of VCs? I recently survey more than 150 VC friends from all stages and geographies what they thought about the market by asking “Which of the following statements best describes your mood heading into 2016?” When I started blogging it was because I was inspired by Brad Feld.

The two-year-old VC fund invests in B2B and API-first fintechs across Africa, Latin America and South Asia at pre-seed and seed stages. You can read all about it here.
On February 15, Lightspeed Venture Partners’ Ansaf Kareem published a very detailed blog post titled “The Alchemy of Fintech Valuations,” in which he summarizes fintech sectors, the closest public comps, the key metrics to pay attention to and where multiples are today. Super interesting read. TechCrunch had covered its $20.8
For example, using cryptography and the blockchain I could transmit a blog post or a picture to a third-party who could know authoritatively that this was written word-for-word by me and not doctored in any way. In many ways, it could even become a new tool for earlier shareholder liquidity including the exit of some VC money.
It’s why the first company I ever invested in as a VC – Invoca – just announced a $20 million funding by Accel Partners. In a way it feels intuitive to us – the readers of this blog – because we’re the tech crowd. RealEstate. Much more data in the full post. Enter phone calls.

A few years ago it became fashionable for large VC’s to do seed funding. I was an early cynic.
