Core Insights - The most profound change in the VC industry over the past three years is the systematic disappearance of non-consensus investing, rather than fundraising difficulties or valuation corrections [1][2][4] Group 1: Industry Transformation - Major firms like a16z and Sequoia America are transitioning to RIA (Registered Investment Advisor) structures, establishing evergreen funds, and expanding cross-asset investment capabilities, indicating a shift towards scale, institutionalization, and asset management [1][3][5] - This transition allows for greater flexibility and compliance, enabling these firms to invest across various asset classes, including public markets, structured credit, and cryptocurrencies, thus evolving from traditional VC to cross-asset capital platforms [3][4][7] Group 2: Impact of Systematic Changes - The core mechanisms of non-consensus investing—information asymmetry, foresight, and long-term patience—are being diluted by institutional capital logic, leading to a crisis in the industry [4][8] - The VC industry is increasingly characterized by capital concentration, project homogeneity, and fragmented opportunities, with only 30 firms capturing 75% of VC funding in the U.S. in 2024 [9][10] Group 3: Emergence of Consensus Capital - The industry is bifurcating into two distinct capital systems: "consensus capital," which focuses on scale and efficiency, and "risk capital," which bets on unformed market directions and relies on deep technological insights [14][16] - The characteristics of consensus capital include large checks, clear trend identification, and a focus on long-term asset management, while risk capital emphasizes independent insights and high conviction in non-consensus opportunities [15][16] Group 4: Future of VC - The definition of VC is evolving, with a need to establish clearer boundaries between consensus and risk capital, as well as between RIA institutions and fund managers [16][24] - The most valuable VC firms in the future will be those that can maintain independent judgment and are willing to take on non-consensus risks, as the industry shifts from "discovering the future" to "configuring the future" [20][24]
