Many people don't think of the word transparency when they think of venture capital. Increasing that transparency is at the core of our mission at Allocate. To kick off 2024, we asked some of the best and brightest in the industry for their views and compiled it into our first VC Industry Outlook. Follow the link below to read what they had to say first-hand!

I highly recommend that founders read the quotes in this document. My take: Plan for your startup to grow slower and not rely on funding. Bootstrapping and operational efficiency are the words for 2024. B2B software companies can survive at a lower growth rate in several ways. www.softwarebusiness.pro #startups #founders #b2b #saas

Check out Allocate's 2024 VC Industry Outlook! It highlights the wide range of perspectives in VC right now - from excitement about the rise of AI to concerns around the capital pullback from LPs. Even if we’re not out of the woods yet, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic this year, and I’m excited to see if/how these predictions pan out. https://lnkd.in/eUghw_PJ

As a breed, VCs are opinionated individuals. Here's a nice compilation of said opinions from the broader ecosystem

Charlie Munger knows more about the folks around venture capital today than the #VCs and #LPs in it. Not really a surprise btw that he equates today's biggest VC brands to investment bankers looking for fees over quality. That's who they are! Find me VCs who genuinely built technology or businesses. Normally they are the small ones, the solo GPs, the outsiders. Not the career ones. Some of the best performing funds of all times were from folks who never even worked at a VC firm before. Interesting to think about it, right? #familyoffices #limitedpartners #venturecapital #deeptech

Sagar Tandon penned a piece on being a VC and how he feels not being part of it simultaneously #NotVC. He says >> "We need venture capital that is in sync with the sound principles of investing, business building, compounding, and patience. The short-sightedness in the VC industry suffocates me as it is not just harming the planet Earth, but also the basic tenets of sound investing principles are missing." To read the entire piece >> https://lnkd.in/gJWPUM6t. What do you think? Share your thoughts! #venturecapital #consciouscapitalism
