I recently saw this metric from Cartaโs 1Q24 VC Fund Report, which is very concerning. DPI... is nowhere to be found in earlier vintages that probably should start showing DPI.
Funding early-stage projects is great, but ultimately, these venture dollars need to exit their investments and pay back their limited partners.
This is traditional VC data from Carta, and is not strictly crypto venture. Crypto venture tends to get liquidity earlier (tokens) and things tend to go parabolic sooner (faster, more unicorns) - but likely that the data here is somewhat similar for Crypto VCsโฆ Not as much DPI as there should be from these earlier vintages.

Took a ton of notes. One that sticks out:
โDo the ACTUAL work. Get in discord. Talk to people. Re-underwrite the position. Talk about community all the time, but do we actually implement the dd here?โ

We love the $DEGEN
Is there a frame for a Farcaster trading bot? Thinking directly in FC as a combo of: Dexscreener + Analytics + DEX
Whatโs the highest leverage CTA to help spread the word about $DEGEN outside of the FC circle?
