Together with our friends at Loyal VC, I had the pleasure of discussing how open-ended funds are changing the venture capital industry. And it is not only about The Sequoia Fund: with fund secondaries reaching record amounts and an increasing need for more liquidity, what should fund managers consider when establishing an evergreen structure? Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
About Loyal VC
Loyal VC operates a global startup index fund with over 200 investments across more than 46 countries. The fund is designed to minimize systemic bias inherent in the investment process, unlocking greater returns. The Loyal Startup Index Fund has delivered strong returns since its launch in 2018, thanks to its collaborative, staged investment process, its network of over 300 global advisors, and its global relationships with the Founder Institute, the world's largest pre-seed accelerator, and INSEAD, rated the #1 non-US business school for unicorn founders by Pitchbook. Loyal's global start-up index fund is inclusive of a diverse, often mission-driven, group of entrepreneurs. To date, over 30% of the portfolio have a woman CEO, almost 30% are from emerging markets, and around 80% address one or more of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
