VCs perking back up?
In total, US venture funds and SPVs that use Carta Fund Admin called $7 billion in capital over the first two quarters of 2024.
That's a solid bump up from the $5.4 billion called in the first half of 2023.
As a reminder, capital committed to venture funds doesn't usually sit in the accounts of the general partners. The investors must call the capital from their limited partners in order to then invest into startups.
While some funds call capital on a regular schedule, many will only do so as it is needed.
Interesting to see the percent of all capital called by SPVs (orange slice of each bar) has rebounded back to early 2022 levels after being much lower in the choppy waters of 2023.
Fingers crossed this gets put into startups soon!
