VC is the asset class of the exponential age


The Economist on venture capital -

VC is the asset class of the exponential age - complex, intangible driven businesses need this class of capital.



The revolutionaries  of the 21st century have been the VCs - starting in Silicon Valley and spreading across the globe - 

a virus - that has done good! 
People who have backed people and ideas - and those humans  who have succeeded have in turn become VCs .

These people have become the growth engine of economies! 

Seven of the world’s ten largest firms were vc-backed. vc money has financed the companies behind search engines, iPhones, electric cars and mrna vaccines.

World Economies are Creating these amazing animals called Unicorns !

Google, Facebook, Canva, Afterpay , Atlassian , Aconnex, Zip, Nexttech, MyRecruitmentPlus , GO1, Redbubble ,  Amazon , Apple , Betway and Bitcoin and so many others are w few unicorns that come to mind
