Isomer Capital launches a $100 million secondary funds #Isomer Capital, the London-based investment firm renowned for its prowess in venture capital, is making waves with the launch of its groundbreaking £100 million secondaries fund. Led by none other than Joe Schorge, Isomer's managing partner, this dedicated secondaries fund is set to capitalize on the burgeoning European venture capital market, which is ripe with opportunity and primed for explosive growth. Isomer has already garnered significant interest from a diverse range of investors, including Nordic family offices and a German foundation. With over 20% of the fund already secured, it's clear that the market recognizes the immense potential of Isomer's venture into secondaries. Isomer's secondaries fund will primarily target stakes in VC funds across Europe, seizing upon a market that has yet to reach its full potential. With a record number of private tech companies in Europe and a pressing need for liquidity, the timing couldn't be better for Isomer to make its mark. Implications: This move by Isomer signifies a seismic shift in the European venture capital landscape. By providing much-needed liquidity and flexibility to LPs and VC firms alike, Isomer is paving the way for a more dynamic and robust ecosystem. And with Omolade (Rachel) Adebisi, a seasoned expert in private equity secondaries, on board to spearhead the initiative, Isomer is well-positioned to lead the charge.

CRV is doubling down on early stage investing. Returning the remainder of our late stage “Select Fund” to focus our efforts on high risk and high multiple early stage investing. Venture capital is as crowded a market as it has ever been. Competition has moved later stage with their dollars and focus drifting to multiple products and geographies, fragmenting their investing talent. We’ve also seen talented investors retiring or putting their feet up. This leaves our home turf of early stage open for the taking. CRV offers one product to our entrepreneurs & LPs (early stage) CRV is one geo (Bay Area) CRV is one team (flat and equal partnership) This picture goes hard.

🥇44% of LPs Capital Went to General Catalyst and Andreessen Horowitz💰 🎯In a landscape marked by a notable pullback in venture capital investments, a select group of elite VC firms continues to secure substantial commitments from limited partners (LPs), highlighting the enduring appeal of established players in the industry. 🦸♂️General Catalyst, a prominent figure on Sand Hill Road renowned for its investments in Snap Inc., Warby Parker, and Deliveroo, is reportedly finalizing a staggering $6 billion VC fund. This announcement comes hot on the heels of Andreessen Horowitz's unveiling of a $7.2 billion fund across five strategies earlier this month. 💡Should General Catalyst successfully close its latest fund at $6 billion, alongside Andreessen Horowitz's recent raise, these two firms will have collectively amassed an impressive $13.2 billion—equating to approximately 44% of the total LP capital committed to US VC funds since the beginning of the year, according to PitchBook data. 🎤The reported General Catalyst fund, slated to invest across diverse sectors and geographies including India and Europe, marks the firm's largest fund to date, surpassing its $4.6 billion Fund XI closed in early 2022. 💰LPs' increasing preference for established venture firms underscores their belief in the superior deal flow and track record of these industry stalwarts. Despite the allure of emerging managers, characterized by potentially higher volatility but greater upside, LPs tend to perceive investments in established funds as less risky. 📝The dynamic landscape of VC fundraising underscores the importance of strategic decision-making for LPs seeking optimal returns and risk mitigation. While established funds offer stability and proven performance, emerging managers present opportunities for outsized gains, provided LPs navigate the inherent risks effectively. The top decile of emerging VC funds has historically generated excess IRRs of 15.9%, more than 3 percentage points higher than that of established funds. 📢As General Catalyst and other industry heavyweights continue to shape the VC landscape with their substantial fundraising efforts, LPs face the ongoing challenge of balancing risk and reward in an increasingly competitive and dynamic market. ✅ Looking to raise capital for your #fund and increase the international pool of your LP #investors?   🤝 Need warm #LP introductions?   📝 Selling #secondaries to increase liquidity?   🧐 Looking for co-investments?   ▶ G+QUANT's link for inquiries and fund decks: https://lnkd.in/gjC_EuTE   #VentureCapital #LPInvestments #GeneralCatalyst #AndreessenHorowitz #EmergingManagers #InvestmentStrategy #RiskMitigation #VCReturns

The Q3 2024 venture capital scene is steady and optimistic, even with a cautious approach. Total fundraising hit $65.1 billion—right in line with last year—but we’re seeing fewer funds, with a focus on bigger players. This shift shows that investors are leaning toward trusted firms, a smart play with LP demand expected to bounce back in 2025. For early-stage investors, there’s still plenty of excitement, especially around AI, which remains a hotbed for growth. The message? Opportunities are out there; it’s all about picking the right ones. #EarlyStageInvesting #AIInvestment #Q3Fundraising #VentureCapital2024 #SmartInvestments #InvestmentStrategies #FundraisingInsights #TechInvestments https://lnkd.in/eRQ2AK2J
