Venture capital is prioritizing fast mark ups over LP interests, Nicole DeTommaso notes — Venture capital prioritizes quick returns

Nicole DeTommaso raises concerns over the current state of venture capital, observing that much of the sector is now dedicated to securing quick mark ups rather than creating long-term value for limited partners.

She argues that this trend, along with general partners chasing management fees through rapid new fund raises, is leading to major misalignment within the investment ecosystem.

But we saved everything 🙂.

DeTommaso previously argued that proprietary deal flow is largely a myth in venture capital, emphasizing the importance of strong professional networks. In a separate update, she noted that multiple firms such as Nexus Bay and Founders Factory are actively recruiting investment and tech associates. Her recent comments add to an ongoing discussion about operational shifts and challenges in the sector.
