XLP Strategy Research Group announces today the release of a research report addressed to venture capital fund managers, fund administrators, managing directors, family offices, and institutional investors. The report describes the dynamic and changing nature in which tech venture funds must stay competitive for proprietary deal flow. The report draws heavily on case and project experience gained by working with several large, high profile tech companies and institutional investors within the past few years, as well as first-hand experience within XLP’s in-house venture fund, the Lambda Prime incubator.
While traditional deal flow channels involved walking the halls of trade shows, networking with other investors, and chairing or observing venture pitch contests, an increasing percentage of deal flow does not originate through these channels at all. Instead, they are “pre-pitch” or “proprietary channeled” throughout their life cycle, meaning traditional venture capital managing directors see deals too late in their fund raising process and are not able to gain competitive positions on cap tables. This 25 page report addresses this changing deal flow channel and describes several cutting edge methods for advancing venture and high tech deal flow.
Selected analyses from the research include:
Included with the report are access to web and data scrapers for harvesting, collecting, and structuring these proprietary datasets in Excel spreadsheet formats. A complimentary copy of the proprietary tool Metascrape (retail licensing in excess of $2,000 / seat or over $10,000 / year for site licensing) is included with each report. XLP Strategy Group research analysts are available for interview and further discussion.
