General Partners, are you truly ready for your next raise?
From navigating fund formation to seamlessly onboarding LPs, there's a lot that goes into setting up and running a fund — and missing just one piece can cost you both time and trust.
Ignoring diversity in your venture capital (VC) team leads to missed opportunities, underperformance, and perpetuates economic inequality by favouring similar entrepreneurs. Diverse teams are essential for spotting groundbreaking innovations, understanding diverse markets, and achieving superior financial returns. Additionally, non-diverse teams risk losing substantial funding from institutions prioritizing diversity, making diversity both an ethical and strategic necessity for VC success.
In Q1 2024, Limited Partners (LPs) across Europe diversified their investment strategies in response to global economic changes and evolving priorities within the venture capital ecosystem. Development Finance Institutions emphasized sustainable ventures, while Family Offices and High Net-Worth Individuals increased their focus on technology and ESG-compliant investments. Pension Funds and Insurance Companies preferred stable sectors such as sustainable agriculture and energy, whereas Sovereign Wealth Funds pursued larger, strategic equity deals. These trends highlight the shifting investment landscape, offering valuable insights for startups and GPs seeking alignment with LP priorities.
