Day 2: A quasi-committment in the morning, and my first LP investor event in the evening 🏃🌃🌧️ I just love meeting angel investors! 👼 From exited founders with 2-3 successes under their belts, To leading medical, legal, financial, and industrial professionals, And from families with an innovation heritage, To more seasoned General Partners writing LP cheques. Their brains, experience, and connections are worth 2-10X any cheque they may write in funds like mine or into companies. Your angels are your superpower 💪💪 This is why I believe in "building communities", rather than simply fund-raising. For far too long VCs believed that LP backers were sources of capital. They are NOT! No wonder angels felt excluded by venture capital funds, historically. We want to challenge this. Angels / LPs with the right connection, intelligence, experience and network can super-charge your fund and portfolio🔋 And yesterday it was a full deep dive in the Italian private capital ecosystem. Some 1-2-1 meetings. And many who came to discover our dreams and plans at Silicon Roundabout Ventures, at my first private LP event in my homeland, Italy 🇮🇹 🙏 For every LP that joins, the network effect grows, and our fund becomes stronger! And this is true of companies too. Which is why in the last few days I've also been working on our 1st co-investment SPV: So that our existing angel/LPs will be able to co-invest with the fund in a portfolio company that's about to close an oversubscribed follow-on round. Too many founders neglect the power a strong angel network can bring. Don't forget that it was an angel who helped the Apple founders close their first institutional round, when most VCs didn't trust Steve Job's hippie vibe. 🎰 Thanks to our event hosts last night over at P101, and of course to Andrea Di Camillo, Alessandro Panerai, Giacomo Corrielli, massimo carnelos e Alberto W. Mucci ♥️ And to all the LPs already on board, thank you for your trust and support 🙏 Your belief is itself an energy boost to carry on the fight ⚔️ (... psss: and it's even better when the day closes with a Cotoletta Alla Milanese 🥩😋) #familyoffices #angelinvesting #limitedpartners #buildinginpublic #venturecapital #europeantech >> Tonight, LP dinner in London 🛫🤞 - - - I'm a 1st time #DeepTech soloVC sharing my final closing fundraising trip in public: 40+ LPs over 3 countries in 30 days.

Thinning the herd: ~50% of unicorns should no longer be unicorns – A VC specialist’s viewpoint by Justine Huang, Principal at Industry Ventures, and Wiley Miller, Analyst at Industry Ventures. 👇 Why it matters.👇 The VC world is undergoing a reality check as many "ZIRPicorns" from the 2021/2022 boom are being "dehorned." With proprietary data on 391 Unicorns, Industry Ventures reveals that over one-fourth of these companies are now valued below $1B, effectively becoming "Horses." This recalibration is driven by revised FMV marks and secondary market valuations. The shift underscores the overvaluation during the bubble years and highlights that only about half of the current Unicorns truly deserve their status based on revenue and growth metrics. Investors should brace for more realistic valuations and potential opportunities in the secondary market.
