VC
A form of equity financing provided to startup companies. It operates through limited partnership structures, in which fund managers earn returns through management fees and carried interest.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The limited partnership structure of VC determines that fund managers mainly profit from management fees and carried interest; the failure of a single project is largely borne by the LPs, while the excess returns of successful projects are shared with the GPs.
Co-investment mechanisms and FOMO (fear of missing out) make investors inclined to follow the lead investor's judgment, forming collective endorsement and weakening the incentive for independent due diligence.
Feasible structural remedies include: investment institutions establishing independent third-party technical due diligence mechanisms, regulators setting more upfront verification thresholds for claims involving personal safety, and the media exercising restraint toward "vision" when reporting on early-stage companies.
LPs focus on overall fund returns, asset allocation, and exit cycles, while VCs focus on deal flow, valuations, and the competitive landscape of specific sectors.
Top VC partners typically receive more than hundreds of deal emails per week, and actual reply rates are generally below 1% according to industry statistics.
Industry players and VC firms conduct talent recruitment and technical intelligence gathering by attending top conferences such as NeurIPS.
