So much misplaced ego, hypocrisy & politics in Venture Capital.

That's quite shocking for an industry that praises the value of building great relationships w/ founders & helping them build honest, positive, ambitious organisations.

And yes...
Lazy partners will claim deals, stupid colleagues will try to compete with you instead of offering help on deals, people you thought you could trust will bypass you, people you dislike will be hired without anyone giving a damn about the cohesion of the team, the list goes on...
Focus on the genuine and honest relationships that you build with founders, be pro-active and efficient. Learn every day with humility, conviction, flexibility, determination. Don't get lazy, greedy or sneaky.
Venture Capital isn't always fair on the short term. Be patient, resilient and optimistic. If you're (or about to be) in Venture Capital, realise how lucky you are and how beautiful is our purpose.

#0 20 Obvious Learnings From Our Best Founders
#1 The best founders are able to manage both attention to details and velocity towards the highest level of performance.
#2 The best founders aim beyond 100% in everything they do (learning, hiring, managing, leading, executing…), because they implicitly understand the value of compounded effects. 95%, compounded infinitely, tends towards zero, while 105% tends to infinity.

1/ People complain about the lack of great series B deals in France and Europe.

The main reason is that many series A teams are nurtured with...

Poor empowerment,
Small ambitions,
Too little capital

Or

Wrong empowerment,
Misplaced goals,
Ineficient capital
2/ And we don't have the critical quantitative mass in Europe to absorb this qualitative gap.

We shall believe and nurture with passion and hard work truly ambitious, highly yet efficiently capitalized talented & diverse teams.
3/ As part of the entrepreneurs' surroundings, our words and actions reflect our mindset and affect them with compounded effects overtime.

There is nothing more important than empathy, trust, and commitment towards them.

[THREAD] As a systematic public market investor, #VentureCapital was an asset class that felt opaque to me based on only my limited exposure of #AngelInvesting & my friends in the industry. In this article, I set the context for Unpacking Alpha in Venture Capital.
1.) It is a challenging asset class to digest & I am sure a majority of large institutional pools of capital would struggle to list more than a handful of brand name VC firms or investors.
2.) That said, top decile returns in VC are extremely impressive so I decided to take a deeper look with a view to create an ecology map & building an institutional footprint from first principles.

Science is the casting of syntactic nets, taxonomizing its contents, & adding another layer of mesh b4 casting it anew While much is learned frm studying wht remains, the contents never behave as they did in the water,& wht IS water?A pesky medium net cannot catch

Artificial super intelligence is achieved; algorithmic curiosity. ASI will simulate its attempts to capture nature of (our) reality it inhabits. If successful, ASI simulates nested isomorphisms of reality ad infinitum, our reality. Eternal recurrence?Time=flat O?

As various biased *unreliable sources* in the media continue to attempt to shame you or guilt you about your support of the OH-SO-HORRIBLE President Trump, remember some important things. (1/13)
#1. UNTRUSTWORTHY MEDIA. The mainstream media (generally) isn't to be trusted. That's not to say CNN doesn't have good reporters, and that's not to say they can't get it right, but imagine even if they're VERY biased only 10% of the time? (2/13)
I once saw a quote about false teachings vis-a-vis religion: a false teacher may get 90% right but that lulls you into a false sense of security and the 10% propaganda becomes dangerous. The media is supposed to be a neutral arbiter of truth, and it's no longer that. (3/13)

1/ In 2017, the consensus structure to manage cryptoassets was a hedge fund. In 2018, we will see a trend of crypto-specific venture capital funds.
2/ We are seeing this already, with many of the prominent crypto hedge funds moving to raise venture capital funds— a good thing for the industry.
3/ Venture funds have committed capital (e.g., @placeholdervc’s is 10 years), which shields the fund from redemptions, providing more stable capital & allowing the managers to focus on helping the crypto-entrepreneurs.
