Quote by Victoria Silchenko

“The overall data shows that more than twice the money flows into venture capital from LPs than comes back to them in a given year. I wanted to hold onto something positive from this industry—after all, I’ve met a few brilliant people in it—but looking at the data, it’s hard, if not impossible. In a Freudian sense, it's worth remembering that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar—not everything has a deeper psychological meaning. VCs have made it look like magic, but the illusion disappears once you turn on the lights. At its core, venture capital isn’t as much a unique asset class as it is a troubled one. The industry survives by injecting more and more capital each year, while leaving the majority of limited partners stuck at the losing end of a pay-your-bid auction.”
