  Can you expand on this? I see this brought up a lot but if they don’t return capital they’ll have to shut down?

    They are big enough that they basically make the market in venture. The fact that even they couldn't force much interest in web 3.0 should tell you what a bad idea it really is.

      They are huge but only like 4% of the entire VC market so not necessarily enough to substantially move it?
      • bpt3 1y ago
        They are held in very high regard and are very well connected so other VCs will throw money at their portcos.
