There has been a recent trend in <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/venture-capital" target="_blank">venture capital</a> of increased asset valuations alongside loftier fundraising targets for managers; in Preqin’s <strong>H1 2018 Venture Capital Fund Manager Outlook</strong>, 55% of GPs reported higher pricing for portfolio companies than in June 2017. Alongside this, 98% of managers have seen the level of competition for transactions remain steady or increase over the past year, resulting in difficulty to find accurately priced investment opportunities. This jockeying for assets among fund managers has led to an “arms race”, which sees fund managers needing to <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/raise" target="_blank">raise</a> the most capital possible in order to outbid the competition for attractive portfolio companies.

The Race to Raise Venture Capital

10 years ago Sequoia dropped the ever so legendary <a href="https://www.slideshare.net/eldon/sequoia-capital-on-startups-and-the-economic-downturn-presentation?ref=https://www.recode.net/" target="_blank">RIP Good Times</a>, and it’s fair to say that as of mid 2018 we’re back in Good Times. 💃 There is an incredible amount of active institutional investors and angels in the market, and new funds still keep on popping up left and right. “<a href="https://news.crunchbase.com/news/inside-the-global-q2-2018-venture-market-new-records-and-titanic-late-stage-rounds/" target="_blank">This is not normal</a>” but as the competition among investors increases, we are starting to see funding rounds and valuations move north. The seed round which used to be $1m is now $2, and an A round which used to be $3–5m is now $7–10m. A similar relative trend can also be seen in pre-money valuations. Thus, for founders who know how to play the VC game, it has never been a better time to get funded.
