My first investment in a Silicon Valley Venture Capital Firm was DCM's initial fund in 1997 and later a Highland Capital Partners fund. Since then, I have continued investing in this asset class and consider myself lucky to be able to join the next generation of GPs as they begin their journeys as investors.
Subsequently, I was able to invest in Ten Eleven's inaugural fund in 2015, which has since become a leading CyberSecurity fund. Unbounded Capital is a bitcoin infrastructure fund formed in 2019, where I am an LP, advisor, and investment committee member.
In Latin America, I served on the investment committee for Chile Global Funds which invested in Latam Startups in Mining and Logistics. Atman Capital, a Brazil cross-border fund, and Driven VC , focused on Digital Commerce, are two new emerging fund managers in the region.
Alter Global is a seed fund with investments in India, Vietnam, Pakistan, Africa and emerging markets.

About half (51%) of all of the capital invested into venture-funded companies exiting over the last decade lost money, while less than 4% generated a 10X or greater multiple. When calculated as a percent of financings, rather than by dollars, the distribution is even more skewed: almost two thirds of financings lost money for investors.
