WHAT IS VENTURE CAPITAL NOW ANYWAY?

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Benchmark Capital and Andreessen Horowitz represent contrasting venture capital models, with Benchmark sticking to small-scale investments and Andreessen Horowitz expanding aggressively with $44 billion under management. The divergence highlights changes in venture capital, which has grown significantly and led many firms to adopt larger funds and a more extensive range of services. Both strategies have their pros and cons, with Benchmark focusing on higher returns through small funds while Andreessen Horowitz aims to tackle larger, riskier opportunities.
