European and UK VC's need to up their game or become a Valley outpost If you don't mind all profits going back to the US instead of building a native VC ecosystem, that's fine... But I would prefer LPs in Europe woke up: we need more private, pension & endowment money local VCs
As the Managing Partner of a premiere US VC told me “I wish everyone would be quiet about the whole Europe thing. It’s been our Growth hunting ground for many years and now they’re all showing up paying US valuations when they didn’t need to” But yeah... Europe is a thing 1/2

UK/EU #venturecapital has a choice 1⃣ Be better (deploy more £, faster, on better terms, add more value) 2⃣ OR in 5 yrs be dominated by US firms @Sequoia in London is a not a one-off. UK must double LP cash in VC or be a Sand Hill Rd outpost #SOET2020 2020.stateofeuropeantech.com…

1. 99.99% of all inbound emails from investors are GPs. 2. LPs almost never reach out actively, and if they do, they want to raise a fund themselves 🤔 2. When I reach out to a GP (which I do quite often) through email/linkedin/twitter, most of them never reply ;)

44 of the 100 VCs who submitted to pitch @allocategp this year are1st time funds. Great news for Europe, but also LONDON & UK because biggest concentration ~20% of funds are London based. Really happy the reason @lomax_ward & I started #ALLOCATE is being delivered on

Looking forward to my panel at @allocategp w/ @LeBastif (@Greenfield1One), @im_manderson (@hiFramework), @jbrukh (@coinfund), @richardmuirhead (@fabric_vc), on investing/participating in decentralised networks as a VC. If u r at the event - main stage- 4:30pm GMT.
In two hours @allocategp today we'll be discussing: ❓"How do we get more money into European tech VC?" 4x the capital goes into US #VentureCapital than in Europe. Why is this? How do we fix this? What should we ask our panellists? 🗣️All suggestions welcome.

Storied VC firm Sequoia once only backed startups within bicycle distance of its Silicon Valley office. Now, a pandemic aside, the firm is hiring in London to make a big push into European tech. forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/…
