At EUVC Summit 2025, one of the most animated sessions wasn't about regulation or returns—it was about size.Fund size.“You need to back small, early, and smart.”— ChloéWhile some claimed that fund size isn't predictive of returns, this panel pushed back with a powerful rebuttal: in early-stage venture, size absolutely matters—and skin in the game matters even more.Chloé laid out the logic:The earlier you invest, the lower the probability of hitting a mega outcomeBut the smaller your fund, the greater your exposure to uncapped upside“No one thought a $100M fund was too large in the early 2000s. But back then, a $1B exit was 99th percentile. Today? That's just 85th. A $20B exit is the new 99th percentile.”In short: outcomes have scaled dramatically—but fund sizes have ballooned even faster.If you want real multiples, you can't rely on average returns. You need asymmetric upside.“Average venture-backed exit valuation? Still around $100M.”That stat alone makes a strong case for micro-funds.→ A $5B mega fund might get you into elite cap tables—but you're unlikely to 10x→ A $30–50M fund? One breakout and you're a rocketshipAnd the panel made it clear: LPs chasing “safe” strategies may be missing the real alpha generators.The panel also poked fun at outdated VC modeling tools:“Can we finally stop using the Page & Associates PDF?”(Amen.)This wasn't just a critique of stale math—it was a call for more creative, conviction-led underwriting in a world where category winners look radically different than they did two decades ago.“We're not looking for averagely good returns. We're backing for uncapped upside.”That's the ethos driving many LPs toward emerging managers and micro funds.Not to mention the sense of alignment, focus, and nimbleness that often fades in billion-dollar vehicles.This panel had heat—and it wasn't done.“Happy to do this again. On a podcast. Longer. Louder.”Count us in.The Case for Small Funds: Math, Mindset, and MultiplesThe Uncomfortable Truth: Most VC Exits Are Still SmallPage & Associates: Retire the TemplateFund Size Isn't Just Capital—It's PhilosophyComing Soon… A Podcast Debate?

The $13T U.S. mortgage market serves 50M homeowners but still runs on decades-old software. In this episode, a16z GP Angela Strange hosts Tim Mayopoulos (ex-CEO of Fannie Mae and ex-president of Blend), Mike Yu (co-founder and CEO of Vesta), and Andrew Wang (co-founder and CEO of Valon) to unpack why standardization and regulation slow change, and how modern loan-origination and servicing platforms, cleaner data, and AI can cut costs, boost transparency, and reduce errors. They also discuss policy levers that could speed innovation and what a true one-tap mortgage could look like.

Most business owners only call the bank when they're in trouble. Cash is tight, deals are falling apart, stress is mounting. By then? It's too late. The banks shut the doors and wave at you from behind the glass. That's the obvious mistake. The less obvious one? Not realizing the best time to secure financing is when you don't need it. That's when banks give you more, on better terms, and when private lenders are willing to play ball. That's the theme of my conversation with George Otel, founder of U.S. Business Funding. He's closed 400+ deals, from SBA loans to $50M commercial bridge financings. He's also been on the other side as a business owner who knows what it's like to hit a wall when funding isn't lined up. And right now, while capital feels scarce and multifamily investors are calling this a “3-year recession,” George sees massive opportunity, especially with the $10 trillion baby boomer business sell-off already underway. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Banks love you more when you don't need them. You'll get offered more money than you asked for when you're strong, but the second you look distressed, the same lender disappears. Why is that the exact opposite of how entrepreneurs think about financing? -Bridge loans are just the beginning. Fast capital is a band-aid, not a solution. The winners use bridge money only as a setup for long-term refinancing. How do you structure that from day one so you don't get stuck? -Buying beats building in this market. You'll struggle to get a dime for a startup, but banks line up for businesses with systems and cash flow. With trillions in businesses set to change hands, is acquisition the smarter path for the next generation? Guest Bio George Otel is a business mentor, investor, entrepreneur, and financing expert. He specializes in start-up and business finance options, helping them attract the right capital for their business. George's goal is to educate entrepreneurs, small business owners, franchise owners, business consultants, and professionals on how to obtain capital in today's lending environment and avoid declines. Over the years, George and his partners have helped direct thousands of entrepreneurs and businesses in the US in obtaining access to hundreds of millions of dollars so they could start, grow, and expand their businesses.

In this episode of The Daily Windup, I take you to the whiteboard and show why the “slow, organic staircase” rarely works in Government contracting—especially if you're doing this part-time. 10,000 hours at 40 hrs/week is ~5 years; at 20 hrs/week it's ~10 years, and real businesses zig-zag with downturns. Then I reveal the faster path: joint ventures. We break down the play you'll see in our clip—land a $20M award, leverage that instant track record, walk to the next door and stack another $30M for $50M in year one with one employee, because the agency looked at your partner's financials and capacity. That's speaking the language: position, partner, perform. Next, I run the math everyone ignores on $25K micro-buys at 20% margin. Year 1: 2 contracts = $50K revenue ($10K profit). Year 2: $100K revenue ($20K profit ≈ $10/hr). Year 3: $250K revenue ($50K profit). Year 4: 20 contracts = $500K revenue for $100K profit—nearly two contracts a month for a salary you could earn as a W-2 without the headache. The takeaway: stop chasing low-probability bids; use JVs to borrow past performance and balance-sheet strength, target bigger, better-aligned Government Contract opportunities, and engineer step-changes—not stair steps.

Best Practices in Raising a microVC Fund Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising a microVC fund, consider the following: It takes 12 to 18 months to raise an initial fund. Most funds start off in the $10M to $25M range. With a successful funding record, one can move up to the $35M to $50M range. Limited partners will be family offices and high-net-worth individuals. In raising funds, consider these best practices: Show how your fund is unique and differentiated from other funds. Make clear the vision for the fund and what it will accomplish beyond the return to the investor. Show the competitive advantage of the team and its network. Highlight the track record of the team in deploying capital. Look for an anchor investor who will lead the fund and place a sizable amount to start. Build out the team so the fund is not a solopreneur endeavor. Fund closings range from 3 to 5 rounds over the course of the raise. Give incentives to investors to join the fund, such as access to direct investments that are doing well. Consider these best practices for your microVC fund. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: Check out our other podcasts here: For Investors check out: For Startups check out: For eGuides check out: For upcoming Events, check out For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please , share, and leave a review.

Today's Headlines: Trump claims he's “not-a-dictator” while justifying plans to send the National Guard into states under the banner of fighting crime. He followed that up by signing a stack of executive orders: one to criminalize flag-burning (directly challenging a Supreme Court ruling that protects it as free speech), and another targeting cashless bail by pressuring cities and D.C. to roll it back. He also picked new fights with Chris Christie and threatened to have FCC revoke their licenses - which he can't really do. Meanwhile, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is openly defying Trump, calling him a wannabe dictator and vowing to stop him. On Capitol Hill, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Epstein's estate for financial records, contacts, and his infamous birthday book. In deportation news, ICE re-detained Kilmar Abrego Garcia—less than 24 hours after his release—though a judge has temporarily blocked his deportation to Uganda. In other news, Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro is urging citizens to join the pro-government militia in response to U.S. warships and a $50M bounty on his head (though his claim of 4.5M soldiers is… generously padded). Trade tensions are also flaring again, with foreign postal services pausing shipments to the U.S. over confusion around Trump's changes to tariff exemptions. Lastly, Elon Musk's xAI is suing Apple and OpenAI, accusing them of illegally rigging the AI market by locking ChatGPT into every iPhone. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: Axios: Trump denies being a dictator as he threatens new National Guard deployment AP News: Trump moves to ban flag burning despite Supreme Court ruling that Constitution allows it WSJ: Trump Takes Aim at Ending Cashless Bail Axios: Trump threatens ABC and NBC over "BAD STORIES" WTTW Chicago: Pritzker Vows to Stop Trump From Sending National Guard to Chicago AP News: House committee subpoenas Jeffrey Epstein's estate for documents AP News: Kilmar Abrego Garcia faces new deportation efforts after ICE detains him in Baltimore CBS News: Housewives, retirees in Venezuela line up to join militia in response to what Maduro calls "outlandish threats" by U.S. Axios: Global shippers cut U.S. off as de minimis tariff deadline nears WSJ: Elon Musk's xAI Sues Apple and OpenAI, Alleging They Are Monopolists Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.
