Great writing as always from @kwharrison13 on The Value Chain of Capital (AKA "VC Back Scratch Circle"). Echoes this thread from @fintechjunkie, which I dug out from my likes https://t.co/sz5KeNc8mY
There’s a major structural flaw in how the VC ecosystem works that we don’t talk about enough. It’s a flaw that creates confusion and bad advice for Founders. And it’s a flaw that makes no sense when you dissect it. 🧵👇

“Despite this momentum, fintech is relatively nascent and today represents just 2% of public financial services market cap. Consider the fact that the average public fintech company is only 12 years old, while the average legacy financial services company is 96 years old”
After a decade of venture-fueled growth in FinTech, there is still plenty of room for innovation in financial services. However, not all business models are created equal. Which models stand to win and lose over the next decade? Read our thoughts here

@msuster @QEDInvestors Interesting that @upfrontvc "created more than $1.5 billion in value to Upfront from just 6 deals that WERE NOT immediately up and to the right" and were patient to develop true defensible IP. Extreme discipline to “stay in swimming lanes” of knowledge pays off

Interesting to see appetite from larger institutions. Call back to infamous "debt is coming" [to private markets] piece by @Alex_Danco

Ten years from now, what seismic change will we reflect back on and think, “well that was pretty obvious, in retrospect”? Debt is going to finally come to the tech industry. We can hat…

"Big firms are expanding into venture debt in response to the shifting market. Blackstone anticipates lending $2bn to growth companies over the next few years...KKR is seeking to expand its lending to venture-backed startups either by hiring a team or purchasing one outright"

Big initiative for European ecossytem. Interesting that @eldsjal sees the “European dream” as focused more on building a “better future for the collective, not just the individual”, which is at the heart of the American dream. https://t.co/qIndfM8YVS

Amazing to finally put faces to names with the Top 20 @Teen_VC applicants! Loved speaking with ambitious teens from as far and wide as Scotland and India about VC and entrepreneurship! Bring on virtual @AugmentumF work experience later in the month... #TeenVC

Best piece I've read on Visa's recent acquisition of Plaid by @benthompson. Interesting point that Visa is now well placed to be a privatised solution to API innovation in the US, which the US Treasury has previously been trying to facilitate.
