Everything in between is trending towards existential risk. "Andreessen Horowitz and General Catalyst have attracted 44% of the total capital committed to U.S. VC funds by limited partners so far this year, according to Pitchbook." - Inside Venture Capital #founders #startups #entrepreneur #venturecapital #vc #tech #technology #B2BSales #ai #llm #artificialintelligence #saas #fundraising #business #entrepreneurship

These are the conclusions from a recent analysis Global Corporate Venturing carried out, looking at a global cohort of startups in the 10-year period between 2013 and 2023, leveraging PitchBook´s data.
