It was smiles all round the boardroom at a Sydney VC firm today, after an investment-seeking founder assured them of, and I quote, 'bag loads of cash'. When pressed for comment, one of the Partners had this to say, "Looks like Christmas came early. When you know, you know. You know?" More to come. #VC #startup #investment #pitch

Following a period of uncertainty spanning multiple quarters, the second quarter of 2023 has demonstrated positive indications of revival within the venture ecosystem. Although getting back to 2021/2022 levels may still require some time, the stability of the banking sector has improved, inflation appears to be getting under control, and the pace of interest rate hikes has decelerated. This combined with start up valuations coming to a more realistic level and exciting trends such as with AI and Climate Tech startups are creating an interesting opportunity to get involved in Investing in Startups! This is why we maintain optimism that this recovery will persist into the latter half of the year, offering additional evidence of this vital industry's return to a healthier state. Tune into to the webinar this Thursday with the talented Michael Lütolf and David Sidler as they share Verve Ventures position on trends, highlights, opportunities and an overall very insightful discussion around the state of the Venture Industry. #venturecapital #trends2023 #verveventures

What was wrong with us? I tumbled upon these valuation multiples from 2021 and 2022. I can't find the source but they simply look ridiculous. We should have known better. Seriously. 😏 #venturecapital #investing #startups #valuations #downrounds #secondarymarket #timetobuy

Which are the top US cities by VC investments? By no surprise, the San Francisco Bay Area continued to rank as the most active region for VC investment in Q4, followed by New York and Boston. Chicago and Orange County emerged as the fourth and fifth most active regions, respectively, pushing past Los Angeles. Which US cities do you see topping the list in the near future? #vdkcapital #startups #vc #vcfund

We made an exciting announcement a week ago about hitting $8bn in market cap supported 18 months into our pivot. That's no longer accurate because we've just hit $9bn in market cap supported by the addition of several new clients (some of whom are launching their investor hubs soon). Keep your eyes peeled for these listed companies and their investor hubs as they join the mission to improve how they connect and engage with their investors.
