Really good discussions at TechBBQ LP Forum on the topic “Should you invest in venture in 2025?” My take in the discussion was that, as a long-term investor, we see a need to continue investing in venture capital and to avoid trying to time the market. The last couple of years there have been challenges, particularly in the fundraising market, but today we see small, but positive signs, that the market is starting to recover, and that there is an increasing risk appetite to continue investing in venture. Thanks Carsten Gjoertler Salling, Dreamcraft, for moderating the discussion and to the rest of the panel with Jonathan Biggs, Top Tier Capital Partners, Angela De Giacomo, Vinthera and Raphaël Gervais, LGT Capital Partners.

Prosus Ventures format to present its portfolio results via tech vertical is quite interesting.

Alts going mainstream requires innovation in both technology and asset management. But tech startups and funds purpose-built for this new era of private markets that now includes more investors (the wealth channel) and more data requires different skillsets, networks, and content strategies to succeed. We launched the AGM Studio, a collaboration between Alt Goes Mainstream and Broadhaven Ventures by Broadhaven Capital Partners, to help companies and funds solve these types of challenges. Citywire's Selin Bucak covered the launch of the AGM Studio today in Citywire Selector here. I’m thrilled that Selin, one of the most thoughtful and knowledgeable journalists in private markets, shared the why and the how behind the AGM Studio. https://lnkd.in/ebAjSZBn
