  • Venture capital vs. public stock markets

    The following chart should be familiar to most of the audience by now. It shows that venture capital performance on a whole has been abysmal. There are notable exceptions of course. Some VC investors have superb track-records over a long period. And at any given time, a number of VCs are clearly “on a roll” in…
