The report, "Venturing Forward: Mapping the Global Emerging
Manager VC Landscape," provides insight into global fund numbers
and sizes, GP team sizes and gender, and financial metrics and
performance from across the U.S., Europe, MENA, LatAm and SE Asia
LONDON, July 18,
2024 /CNW/ -- LTV Capital, a venture capital
fund-of-funds investing in best-in-class, capital-efficient,
diverse emerging fund managers, has published an exclusive report
with data from 800+ global emerging fund managers across the
venture capital ecosystem. The report provides crucial insights for
industry stakeholders, emphasizing the pivotal role emerging
managers will play in shaping the new venture landscape. The report
also uncovers the challenge of accessibility for both LPs and GPs
across European, U.S. and emerging markets like MENA, LatAm and
SE Asia, driving industry
awareness during today's venture capital reset.
LTV Capital was born out of the venture capital downturn that
catalyzed new opportunities to invest in technology, led by a
resurgence of emerging managers. The fund was co-founded by
Farhan Lalji, veteran investor and
former Managing Director at Anthemis Group who was responsible for
Anthemis' partnership with BBVA, investing directly into
early-stage fintechs; and Dario de Wet, former Principal at
Anthemis who co-led fund investments into six top-tier fund
managers alongside Farhan. With a global network and ecosystem of
emerging funds, LTV provides more than capital alone, serving both
GPs and LPs.
"Dario and I have met hundreds – if not thousands – of fund
managers throughout our careers, as startup founders and
executives, then transitioning into investors in early-stage
companies, and as fund investors. Our cumulative experience has
enabled us to cultivate a remarkable network of fund managers
worldwide, spanning various sectors, said Farhan Lalji, Founding Partner of LTV.
LTV Capital fosters strategic collaboration between LPs and GPs,
supporting the development and growth of venture across
geographies. The platform enables LPs to participate in the firm's
global network of funds, generating a deal pipeline for
co-investment opportunities, obtain strategic insights and track
these managers for potential future relationships.
"I meet with so many hungry, resilient and nimble entrepreneurs
who've overcome numerous obstacles and succeeded," said
Julia Groves, Board Chair at Airex
Technologies and former Managing Director of Sustainability at the
British Business Bank. "Emerging fund managers have something to
prove, and LTV provides the network and resources to support them.
Research shows that having diversity in a fund leads to better
risk-adjusted returns. The people who aren't thinking this way will
be left behind," she said.
The report shows that the levels of activity within the emerging
manager market continue to grow, as Europe is in greater competition with the U.S.
And, managers in LatAm, MENA and SE
Asia are quickly adopting U.S. practices towards fund
strategy and positioning.
"As venture capital recovers from a welcomed downturn, we're
witnessing a resurgence of interest in emerging managers globally,"
said Dario de Wet, Founding Partner of LTV. " This shift signals a
departure of opportunistic investors and emphasizes the importance
of thoughtful capital allocation strategies as LPs recover. This
paves the way for a new breed of emerging managers, who are
intentional on their why, articulate about their network, and are
focused on fundamentals. Amidst record-high inflation-adjusted dry
powder, more than double that of the Dotcom Bubble, attracting LP
capital hinges on these factors. I'm highly optimistic about the
impact that LTV will have on the ecosystem," he said.
