Flow of $30 billion invested in VC each year is not getting a good return. Same ol. Not getting a good return overall @fredwilson #rethink- VC market should put to work only half of $30B i.e. $15billion. Math problem @fredwilson #rethink
Will crowd finding create problems for Venture Capitalists? #Rethink VC @fredwilson- $300 B = 1% of other funds if got into crowdsourced funding. Ticking bomb? @fredwilson "it's bad for VCs, good for entrepreneurs" #rethink
Crowdfunding is a threat to venture capitalists, but great for the economy, entrepreneurs and startups via @fredwilson #rethink
Venture capitalists raise large pools of $ every 2-4 yrs. Then allocate. Then do it again. Aggregate, allocate @fredwilson #rethink
"Soon additional $300bn will flow in potential startup crowdfunding" cc @fredwilson @nancefinance @grindspaces #rethink #startups #jobsact
- @fredwilson: Options? Become #1: entrepreneur, #2 a blogger, #3 more selective. Stop the herding mentality #rethink
@fredwilson I'm already a blogger, entrepreneur but now I need to be more selective. @justinjmoses do you think he is referring to us or vcs
one reason why VCs can't generate returns? they're momentum herd investors - "they chase every hot thing" @fredwilson @grindspaces #rethink- @fredwilson: option #4: Shrink. Stop raising from institutional capital #rethink. #5 Leverage crowdfunding capital
- @fredwilson: #rethink idea: Set-up shop on top of crowdsourcing . Put less money upfront & the rest via crowdfunding
VCs need to become more selective or experts in a very small category (one option) -- @fredwilson #rethink- VCs should stop investing institutional capital - @fredwilson (exactly!) #rethink
- @fredwilson: "Current situation isn't helpful. Bad VCs are still getting lots of money." #RETHINK
- Q. Why is inst. money tolerating bad returns? @fredwilson: it's due to low (4%) allocation model #rethinkvc
- Q. What do u look for? @fredwilson: right people right idea packaged right way in right time for market. linkages are v important #rethinkvc
classic end to @fredwilson's talk. On corp venture cap: "I think it's dumb. It's dumber than dumb. It's the dumbest." #dropsmicandwalksoff- Go 2 kickstarter back a project, go 2 angel.co look 4 startups to fund, go 2 petridish.org.fund research/science @fredwilson #rethink
