Personal introductions to Partners at US #venturecapital firms are critical part of a successful venture #fundraising process. For #UK and #EU #Founders who don't have a large personal network in the US this important step can be quite challenging. Certain professional services firms such as lawyers, accountants, and banks can play a critical role in helping introduce Founders to their target VC Partners. If you plan to raise venture capital in the US you should be talking to Daniel Glazer with Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. Wilson Sonsini has deep roots in Silicon Valley, vast relationships in the venture capital community, and a track record of consistently making Partner level introductions for their clients to US venture capital firms.

60% of VC is already outside the US. As our ecosystem in #EmergingPakistan grows over the next decade, we will see more global investors partner with local VCs that understand this market. Just as the leading startups in each key vertical will become an acquisition or investment target, every major VC in Pakistan will attract more global LPs and co-investors, leading to the top global funds opening their offices here. It’s a long game over 5-10 years but it is bound to happen.

The future of VC is global. And the 2024 Midas list reflects this shift. Nearly 30% of the top VCs on the Midas list this year are based outside the US, highlighting the growing influence of international markets. Earlier this month, Allen Taylor, Managing Partner of Endeavor Catalyst, discussed the "Global State of Venture Capital" with the latest Kauffman Fellows class and shared some compelling insights from Endeavor Catalyst. Of the 1,300+ unicorns in the world today, 25% of them are in the markets where we operate: in Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the rest of Asia beyond China and India. The decentralization of capital is accelerating, and it's exciting to envision a future where the majority of top VCs and groundbreaking deals come from all corners of the globe.

The VC with more unicorns than Accel, Insight & Sofbank only invests in developing economies. Impressive!  Endeavor‘s rules based VC, Endeavor Catalyst, is probably the best example of how tech and VC have gone global. Vamos, vamos, vamos Allen Taylor! 

Key takeaways as Catherine Lewis La Torre kicks off the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA) #accelerate conference with Head of Venture Chris Elphick. Governments including Canada and France take a more strategic approach to the innovation ecosystem. We need more positive policy, rather than short term sticking plasters. Constant change helps no-one. Set a policy then let the markets work their magic.
