The state of venture capital is wild right now. We are witnessing a surge of innovation across the spectrum: - Funds merging - VC doing PE - PE doing VC - Secondary funds - Buyout funds - Spin-out funds - Debt funds - Continuation funds - Infrastructure funds - GP turnover - Hard Tech surging - Family Office uptick

Thanks Erik Bruckner isn't it funny how the engine of the innovation economy, VC investing thought they were immune from innovation disruption? But here we are and the future looks bright as ever.

Erik - anything you can point to that may be a driver of these? Is this variation cyclical?

SPV's? Curious about the rise in SPVs and enabling employees to improve their liquidity through the vehicles. I know Carta was trying to create a marketplace to trade equity shares when employees leave. But I think this is going to get greater attention as PE is now holding $13T + in assets and with Goldman making an investment in CANVA and a decline in Publicly held companies, employees are risking never being able to cash out (Stripe did something this year or last year about that - I think a buyout).
