Most VC funds actually LOSE money for their limited partners. The average VC fund underperforms the S&P 500. The truth is that only about 5% of VC firms consistently generate the returns that justify the asset class. The rest are essentially playing a lottery game with other people's money while collecting management fees. It's a broken model that's persisted due to institutional investors chasing unicorns and FOMO.
