We recently closed submissions to the 2024 State of CVC Benchmarking Report, co-authored with our friends from SVB. In its fourth year, a record 250+ unique CVCs participated in the survey. Fresh off the press, we are happy to offer a sneak peek prior to the September 26th public release. Based on initial analysis, the number of strategic-focused CVC funds has increased with a contraction of hybrid funds over time. To zoom out, we ask every CVC to rate themselves on a 10-point scale. We bucket into three fund types driven by their self-defined investment objective: (a) strategics investing for insight or value-add (ranked 1-3), (b) hybrids with a unique balance (ranked 4-6) and (c) purely financially focused funds (ranked 7-10). With 4 years of data now, there is a clear contraction hybrid funds over time. While Hybrid funds represented 50% of overall CVCs in 2021, the tables have turned with strategic funds taking another step toward the majority this year (47%). CVCs began to pick a side in 2023. They are now trending towards a Strategic model in 2024. Despite Financial-oriented funds only accounting for 16% of overall CVCs, these progressive funds have amplified their independence and financial lens. The final report will be unveiled at Counter V on September 26th.
