one weird thing about the current VC ecosystem is that a lot of investors have their carry allocated as a fixed dollar amount per fund or per time period. even some "GPs". probably an under appreciated source of incentive skew.

1/ I’ve worked with hundreds of VCs and keep running across the same problem: there’s no simple tool to research rounds and competition. So…we built it. The Venture Codex is a better way to do research before investing and before helping your companies fundraise.
