An LP's Guide to Venture Funds (Part 2) - Deep Tech and Hard Stuff

There’s still a severe talent shortage - both executive and technical. It feels somehow like there are more GPs interested in deep tech than founders.

Our thesis is that:

1. The best deep tech GPs will see better opportunities now than they did five years ago,


2. These opportunities will be missed by most outsider investors, and


3. Because of way tech risk is mitigated, the biggest bottleneck to allocation exists at seed

Today, it’s quite different. The VC side has unbundled into all sorts of niche firms who act as signal for larger multi-stage GPs, and who partner at nearly every stage of technology risk level.

We try to be open minded on where to look, and have found robotics and life science to be fairly good ponds to fish in!
