Interesting update on Lightspeed's returns by @EricNewcomer https://t.co/a0rVVhlPmo
Really hard to return more than 3x on a large fund, even with breakout hits like Lightspeed has had Mulesoft, Appdynamics and Snap each returned >1x the fund they came from Selling at the right time is important too... LSVP sold Stitch Fix and Oyo at great times. https://t.co/qN543wMQsv https://t.co/9S6C3x2tFU
