Shhhhh - don't tell anyone, but funding to VC startups might be rising soon.
VC funds on Carta called more capital to put to work in January 2024 than at any point since mid-2022.
Capital has to be called by these fund managers before it is available to be invested into startups. So you can think of this like a staging area, where the GPs take possession of the capital for a little while as they get ready to invest into companies.
Good sign! Some more capital calls + a successful Reddit IPO...heading into this week feeling optimistic.
Share this little morsel of good news with a VC or a founder 🙏 ____________________
