"Ever thought about how the Venture Capital landscape is changing in favor of startups and emerging businesses? #VentureCapital Getting that crucial early-stage funding has always been tough work. But with the rise of alternative financing modes and the surge in impact investing, that's no longer the exact story. Venture Capital funds are now being democratized, no longer remaining the prerogative of just the affluent or institutional investors.

Investors are now valuing businesses with purpose and sustainability. 88% of investors say that demonstrating ESG commitments is now key to securing funding. #InvestmentTrends Remember, the golden ticket lies in being prepared and adapting to evolving investor preferences.

When SANTÉ was founded nearly two decades ago, we committed to something we think is critical in venture capital, yet often underappreciated – the importance of maintaining a disciplined fund size.   This year, we issued the third iteration of research detailing just how important fund size is for performance – regardless of the market environment you operate in. Our updated research reconfirmed that there are distinct limitations to what a venture fund can return, which do not scale with size. It’s imperative to realize that each investment has to have the potential to return a substantial fraction of the entire fund, without relying on unicorn exits.   Proud to issue our latest research on this, detailed in the link below.   https://lnkd.in/gaFs_jqm
