小微创投&投早投小 作为股权投资行业的从业者，之前写了不少本行观察的文章。从自身的从业来说，写这个题材，一、是为了吐槽一下干这行的不容易；二、是了解自己、 定位自身。我们这个行业的同行，大多时间是在研究被投项目的赛道分析，而很少去分析自己在行业位置定位和竞争力。圈外人觉得："私募"、"股 权"、"投资"、"天使投资人"......这些词汇，听起来都是相对比较高大上的名词。给别人投钱那是朝南坐，纯甲方！实际上，这个钱也不是大风刮来的，募 集就是求人，投完还是要退出。募集和退出，是纯乙方的活--求单和要账，这是全天下最难的几个事之一。真正做全整套链条，也只有自己知道：这活， 真不好干！ 在这三个前提下，我估计机构数量从10000多家注册，可能降到100家的规模了。系统中数量很多，但是活着的真不多了。而这样的一百家规模，其实也不 都是一个物种。 猫和虎，都是猫科动物，但完全不一样，也不是一回事。 中国股权行业从2000年初起步，到今天有快25年的历史了。机构数量最多时候有3万家注册，细分主业其实也是千奇百怪。如果把与我们类似的同类（比 如说猫科动物），可以先这样用这样的条件先筛一圈： 1. 有人民币基金，非纯美元； ...

以下文章来源于小贝创投圈 ，作者小贝Edwin 小贝创投圈 . 由资深PE、VC、投行人士发起，通过搭建国内一流创投圈子，培养新一代创投人才的有温度的组织。 近期和一级市场投资的伙伴交流，普遍的反馈是在躺平，特别是市场化的 VC/PE基金。 原因不难理解，甚至问题也是过往十年慢慢积累的，可以说，整个创投行业就在大幅洗牌和重 新梳理阶段。 原因之一，投资人信心严重不足了。 无论是产业方、还是高净值老板和个人，对待长期投资这件事上都几乎到了信心最低点。 国际关系在持续的发酵、国内的内卷趋势在加剧，对微观商业的影响是实实在在的，无论是老 板们还是老百姓都切身感受到了，当年任正非说的 "让寒意传导给每个人"，如今真的实现了。 前几天在给一个大金主家办推荐一个资产，家办负责人的原话是： "除非这个资产打一折，让 老板能捡漏，不然老板绝不会在这个时候出手。" 我和家办老大哥调侃到，起码这位老板还是有意愿的，已经强过 9 0%的老板。很多老板压根真 就躺平了，不然发过去连个声响都没。 我们必须正视现状，在当下，绝对部分个人和企业的长期投资意愿都很弱，这对一级市场在短 期内是极大的弱行情。 原因之二，高收益的资产变得很少。 ...

将投中网设为"星标⭐"，第一时间收获最新推送 GP的商业模式还能够成立吗？ 作者丨陶辉东 来源丨 投中网 不知道各位是否有这种感觉：现在的一级市场，大家的账算的越来越细了。投资机构与创业公司之间如此，GP与LP之间也是 如此。 在不久前的"投中十问"上，这一点就表现的非常明显。从2020年开始，投中网每年都会在年度投资峰会的主论坛之外，专门邀 请行业一线GP和LP机构展开"投中十问"闭门研讨会。不同于主论坛话题集中在宏观和中观的大趋势，"投中十问"话题总是非 常微观和接地气。 大家都在说，中国一级市场正进入一个大变局时代。一些过去不言自明的原则，现在需要大声标榜。与此同时，还有一些原本 约定俗成的行规，则正在遭到挑战。 当然，这也与当前的退出难息息相关。如果基金DPI都有三五倍，谁会在乎一两个点的管理费？但市场低谷期，往往也是最好 的筑基期。管理费看似是个小问题，实则牵一发而动全身，对中国的GP与LP之间的关系影响深远。这样看来，细算账不失为 一件好事，这说明各方在博弈建立适应中国一级市场逻辑的新规则，无论是LP还是GP。 参与本次"投中十问"的嘉宾有： 1. 黄成 - 广州金控基金 董事长 2. 季薇 - ...
