The trend of allocating more capital with fewer managers is part of a wider private capital trend. In VC, what an LP wants from this kind of partnership depends on their long-term goals. Corporates want strategic value, access to innovation and business relationships. Family offices want a seat at the table, proximity to innovation and visibility on deals. Sovereigns want to develop an ecosystem that creates jobs and economic impact. While pension funds use VC as a growth accelerator. How do VCs tailor solutions across a diverse LP base to suit each of these aspirations?
