The venture capital industry is rapidly evolving as leading firms adopt strategies from private equity, expanding their investment horizons beyond traditional early-stage startups into areas like secondaries, public equities, and even real-world business acquisitions. This shift enables firms to hold long-term positions and pursue new forms of liquidity, blurring the lines between venture capital, private equity, and institutional asset management. A major challenge accompanying this evolution is managing liquidity, as startups remain private for longer and secondary markets grow in importance. These changes are redefining how returns are generated in a landscape where IPOs and acquisitions are less frequent, and valuations for private companies continue to rise.
