LPs have more access to data than ever. Says Evan Finkel, Head of Venture Capital Investments at Integra Global Advisors. While access is improving. Many LPs and GPs seem more focused on WHO is investing. 👉 co-investors 👉unicorns in portfolios Rather than the WHY. Sure, the unicorn chase might correlate with performance sometimes. But shouldn't we be digging deeper? Shouldn't we be going beyond the "who's in?" question and diving deeper? I expect a more data-driven approach to due diligence. What are your thoughts? Let's discuss in the comments! 🔽 #EUVCpodcast #venturecapital #angelinvesting #startupfunding #europe

🌟 Exciting News from Maxio! 🌟 I'm thrilled to announce Maxio is one of the lead sponsors of "The Definitive Guide to Venture Capital Fund-of-Funds 2023" report from Mountside Ventures, in partnership with British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA). This comprehensive report delves deep into the world of Fund-of-Funds, shedding light on the critical role they play in Europe's VC ecosystem. It provides insights from over 100 global investors across 50 data points and offers valuable perspectives for emerging fund managers and LPs alike. One of the key insights is that more than 14k VC decks are screened each year and only 740 are invested in–5%. What Fund of Funds look for in the very few VCs they invest in? The most important criteria is transparency and honesty. And this is where Maxio can help by providing investor-grade reporting for VC’s portfolio companies as well as the VC itself. Maxio provides a simple way of rolling up reports and providing regular communication to their LPs, which could include fund of funds. The challenge, of course, is that VCs are loathe to mandate the companies they invest in to use specific technology--especially if they take a minority position. However, in talking to many of our 2300 customers, I have found that first time founder/CEOs are actually looking for solid advice on how to build a foundation for growth. They want VC partners who can say things like: "solving your order to cash process is going to be critical after establishing product market fit. Hubspot+ Maxio+Quickbooks (or Xero) is the ‘SaaS in a box’ solution for Billing and financial Operations that will set you up for success.” I also can attest to this from personal experience as CEO of Percolate where we used Maxio reporting to provide reports to Sequoia, GGV, Lightspeed and FirstRound Capital. For those interested in the future of venture capital, this report is a must-read. Dive in and join us in supporting the future of the VC ecosystem in Europe! #VentureCapital #startups #b2b #saas #saasgrowth #funding #VCs #LimitedPartners Jon Steinberg Jonathan Hollis

💡 Some great insights in the latest report from Jonathan Hollis and team at Mountside Ventures that sheds light on the previously opaque Fund of Funds terrain for VCs.   Building on their work to enhance transparency in the fundraising process with their LP report last year, Mountside's latest industry survey offers deeper perspectives on the VC and LP space, focusing on VCs' primary investors: Fund of Funds   What the report covers:   • Insights from 100+ #LimitedPartners • 50 critical data points • An expected deployment of over £35 billion AUM into VC funds within the next 3 years   Key Takeaways:   📈Performance: Fund of Funds' inclination towards emerging managers is backed by sound reasoning. While not always pursuing the largest commitments, nascent vc firms can deliver outsized returns. Indeed, emerging managers represent 72% of the top-tier performers, as noted by Cambridge Associates. 💰Investment Metrics: Of the 14k VC decks reviewed annually, only about 5% receive investment. Track record frequently stands as the foremost consideration in fund selection, but it’s also important for VCs to distinguish themselves with a differentiated thesis, evidence of high-quality deal flow and thought leadership. 🤝Engagement: With a focus on building long-term relationships, Fund of Funds look first to develop trust and personal connections with VCs through regular, transparent communication before considering investment. They are looking to diversify their portfolios and have access to market information and co-investment opportunities. 👥 Diversity: A noteworthy 1 in 4 FoFs prioritise diversity in their investment approach.   👉 For those in the industry, Mountside Ventures’ report offers valuable insights to better understand the landscape and guide decision-making.   We recommend giving it a read.👍   #VC #Investment #EuropeanTech #FundOfFunds Volution Mountside Ventures Joe Schorge Gregor von dem Knesebeck David DANA
