A new venture capital fund named Chemistry has been launched this week by Mark Goldberg, Ethan Kurz, and Kshenster, with a total capitalization of $350 million. The fund aims to address the evolving needs of founders and the venture capital landscape, emphasizing a shift towards smaller, focused funds that can better align with the goals of startups. The launch follows the announcement of an $8 billion fund, indicating a trend of significant capital influx into the venture space. Discussions among industry experts highlight a generational change in venture capital, where founders are increasingly satisfied with raising varying amounts of capital without the pressure of achieving immediate profitability. The conversation around the fund also touches on the misalignment of incentives within the venture capital industry, advocating for smaller fund sizes and focused investment theses to achieve better long-term outcomes for both investors and founders.
