VCs will make billions of dollars in Anthropic's IPO, while Amazon's gains will be an order of magnitude higher.
The VC stressed in the discussion that investors care more about user retention curves and customer acquisition costs than about the peak numbers of a single viral event.
Hard-tech and life-science companies rely more on government research grants, industrial capital, and university technology transfer, rather than the traditional VC fast-return model.
Co-investment mechanisms and FOMO (fear of missing out) make investors inclined to follow the lead investor's judgment, forming collective endorsement and weakening the incentive for independent due diligence.
The limited partnership structure of VC determines that fund managers mainly profit from management fees and carried interest; the failure of a single project is largely borne by the LPs, while the excess returns of successful projects are shared with the GPs.
Feasible structural remedies include: investment institutions establishing independent third-party technical due diligence mechanisms, regulators setting more upfront verification thresholds for claims involving personal safety, and the media exercising restraint toward "vision" when reporting on early-stage companies.
LPs focus on overall fund returns, asset allocation, and exit cycles, while VCs focus on deal flow, valuations, and the competitive landscape of specific sectors.
Top VC partners typically receive more than hundreds of deal emails per week, and actual reply rates are generally below 1% according to industry statistics.
Industry players and VC firms conduct talent recruitment and technical intelligence gathering by attending top conferences such as NeurIPS.
