Venture capital firms have raised at least $3.4 billion for opportunity-style funds in 2024, more than double last year's total. However, this is significantly less than the $12.1 billion raised in 2021, which saw 120 opportunity funds hit the market. The fundraising environment remains challenging, with many investors focusing on mega deals of $100 million or more. A substantial amount of capital remains undeployed in seed and Series A rounds, awaiting a resurgence in late-stage investments and IPOs.

This would (and imo will) get better with more frequent rounds and wider access to capital but expect existing fund managers to throw a fit every time we move further in this direction https://t.co/Uo9LlsxKoP
