VCs are exiting their funds at an increasing pace. The "Great GP Exit" is in full swing. More & more GPs are leaving big-name firms to build their ventures. And honestly? It’s not hard to see why. Here’s what’s driving the shift: 1. LPs Want Focused Bets Limited Partners aren’t just backing the usual giants anymore. They’re pouring capital into specialized, thesis-driven funds, often led by smaller, agile GPs who know their space inside out. 2. Founder-Investors Have the Edge Operators who’ve built companies bring something most traditional VCs can’t which is real, hands-on experience. Founders want backers who’ve been in the trenches, not just those with deep pockets. 3. The Old VC Playbook Is Evolving Huge management fees and rigid fund cycles aren’t the only game in town. Rolling funds, SPVs, and micro-funds are giving investors more flexibility, and faster paths to returns. 4. Influence > Institutional Backing With the rise of content and community-driven investing (BTW are you interested in joining an exclusive startup community?), GPs don’t need a legacy brand to stand out. A strong personal brand and real relationships can open doors just as wide. If you’ve been an operator, advisor, or angel, there’s never been a better time to go independent. The barriers are down, and the playing field is wide open. The future of VC gonna shift from who you work for to what you bring to the table.

I don’t buy the hype. Most of these "micro fund GPs" are just repackaged angels riding the solo capitalist trend. When the market turns, they’ll ghost or fold. Institutions have staying power, don’t discount that.

Jane Fraser said what I’ve been thinking for a while. Markets aren’t stable, they’re ignoring real risks. Tariffs are already hurting. The US-China deal gave fake hope. Smart investors are preparing for the next shock. This is not over.
