As I enter my fourth decade as a venture capitalist , I wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on the past, open the aperture, and make some predictions about some of the macro forces that will shape our industry during the 2020s.Unlike some other blogs, I'm not going to focus on predicting which investment areas will be hot in the coming years — that's for someone with a clearer crystal ball than mine.
Our LPs, many of whom are public pensions, sovereign wealth funds, and university endowments, are starting to ask the question, "What are your portfolio companies doing to benefit society?" The problem is, most of these funds are predicated on either feeding upstream funds their deals or getting deal flow from downstream funds. As less money flows into our industry — and it will eventually happen — the ecosystem will weaken and there will be a shakeout among specialized funds. The best ones will survive and get stronger, the weaker ones will be forced to reinvent themselves or fade into the sunset.
