Pinegrove Venture Partners' Gaurav Mathur joined Samir Kaji on the Venture Unlocked podcast to discuss the evolving VC secondaries landscape. They covered: → Market Growth & Liquidity: VC AUM has soared to $4T (with $3T unrealized), driving a need for stronger liquidity options. → Tight Distributions: Capital called vs. distributed hit a record 4.5x last year; just 15% of 2015–2019 funds have reached 1x DPI. → Longer Timelines: Companies now stay private ~11 years on average (up 43% post-GFC), reshaping venture investment. → Investor Diversification: Non-VC investors now make up 35–40% of direct investment (vs. 15% historically). → Future Outlook: Private markets are expected to grow from $13 trillion to over $20 trillion by 2030, with VC and growth equity fueling tech innovation. Huge thanks to Samir for a fantastic conversation! Check out the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/g4EBVr2a #VentureCapital #Investing #PrivateMarkets

Our Founding Partner, Gaurav Mathur, recently participated in The Information's Private Markets Conference on the panel “The Other Liquidity Path in the Secondary Market” The venture and growth secondary market continues to expand with a multitude of options for creating liquidity for GPs, LPs, and companies. The conversation focused on creating alignment amongst stakeholders, how continuation funds are being used in venture, innovation in the asset class, and tech valuations more broadly. Thank you to Cory Weinberg and Kate Clark for hosting the conference and for moderating the panel with Akrati Johari and Gaurav.

Managing Director & Head of Portfolio Solutions at Cliffwater | Author of The Allocator's Edge
One of the (many) things that excited me about my new role at Cliffwater was the opportunity to complement our team's alternative investment research efforts with my own contributions, offering a unique lens that leans into my experience as a wealth management practitioner and allocator. To that end, I am delighted to share my first publication since joining the firm in January: Private Equity's Second(ary) Act This paper explores two distinct yet related trends that have emerged as private equity has matured: the rise of the secondary market, and the emergence of innovative evergreen structures designed for individual investors to access the growing segment. These are important and timely topics as semi-liquid, perpetual funds continue to grow in popularity within RIA-guided portfolios. Our hope is that readers come away with a better understanding of: - The evolution of the secondary markets - The portfolio benefits of secondaries - The appeal of specialist secondary managers, and - The necessary (but insufficient) role secondaries play in evergreen private capital funds. #alternativeinvestments #privateequity #privatemarkets #secondaries #intervalfunds
