You always hear about startups failing, but no one talks about VC funds going under. It happens more often than you think. Most fail because they chase hype instead of solid businesses, burn through capital without a follow-on strategy, or simply get wiped out by market downturns. Some VCs focus more on collecting management fees than actually delivering returns. The crazy part? When a VC firm fails, it doesn’t make headlines. It just quietly disappears, leaving LPs with nothing but regrets.
