I decide to prioritize deep, relationship‑based investments rather than chasing sheer deal volume, because relationships sharpen judgment and avoid shallow bets.

VCs raised $3.2 B across 23 new funds but actual investments dropped 14 % YoY in Q1 2025 because they are waiting for a lead, a market trend, or for someone else to “believe first.”

I observed that the winners now aren’t the fastest movers, but the ones who stay thoughtful.

I captured a three‑step outline of a VC’s lifecycle: Born, Who else is investing?, and Death, providing a minimalist framework for quick reference.

Number of listed stages in the VC lifecycle: 3.
