on today’s special segment, we have Alan patrikov and Abby Miller levy of primetime. Alan and Abby. What factor could cause the most disruption to the VC industry, and how will that make the next 10 years of VC look different than the last 10

we’re seeing it already a little bit Alan in this. I mean, listen, you have a much more longitudinal perspective. I have a short term perspective, which is there is a lot of capital, and I think because capital has been also building up over the past couple of years, given reduced deployment cycles, and we’ve got these mega venture funds that are, I won’t name names, that have billions of dollars, and at the seed in series A level, they literally are just doling out checks with no diligence, because that’s their sourcing mechanism. When they are 1212, $20 billion fund. You know, you shouldn’t be doing seed and series A deals, certainly seed and so I think one of the things we’re really at risk of is we just have way too many companies that are getting funded. And it depends on the sector, but we’ve seen it coming in, certainly in the digital health space, coming out of covid, and I think that is really hard for the industry to try to figure out how to stomach that. And so I don’t know. I mean, it sounds like, given the capital, you know, faults that exist with all this capital on the sidelines, that this is going to continue. And so I think figuring out how this early stage is, where we play, how we can adjust to all of this capital in the space is going to be something that we’re going to have to work through over the next, you know, the next cycle, this

Great question. And I have my conjectures. One conjecture is that I think the world of venture capital is changing very, very fast along several dimensions. We talked about AI, but I would like to mention something else. I talked about corporate VC early on, when we talked about sourcing. I in fact, think that the future of corporate VC, potentially is very bright, and potentially is going to emerge in the next 1020, years, as a dominant source of venture funding. And the reason behind that is that these days, the level of technology, the scalability, is such that startups can start working with large companies as their clients, suppliers, etc, very early on. And as a result of that, large corporations are more interested than ever in the world of startups. And the way they do it is through many instruments, but corporate VC is a very important instrument. The truth is, in the past, corporate VC has had a chequered history, and even today, and my research shows there are many corporate VC arms of large companies that are not very successful, and I think even more are designed in a way that are not going to be successful. But I think that over time that is going to change, because the companies that large companies that will not change, they just will not survive. They will fade into the oblivion. And I believe that 10 to 20 years down the road, maybe two thirds, if not more, of the most successful startup investments will be done by corporate VC. So, so the change in the nature of capital sources, I think, is going to be a big, a big innovation in the world of venture capital, and it’s happening earlier today.

I think we still don’t know the impact of AI at the company creation. I think companies gonna create product faster. More, they will get customer feedback faster, therefore the entire loop might be faster. So what does it do for what we do today? Do companies need less capital to company down the road, grow faster? Will exit become bigger? So those are the questions. We don’t know. But my assumption is, you know, people are going to build product faster, and the companies die faster at the same as a result of that. And I think exit going to be enormously bigger, because AI is impacted every single industry in a way that we have never seen before.
