# Private Markets And Vc Value

VCs do add a lot of value

private round means founder has to manage expectations of a few people vs a large mob on twitter that wants to yell at a founder

@jbrukh private rounds exist for a reason anyone who doubts a VCs value hasn't played the game enough

vc_profits.top_1pct_share = ±57 %

vc_profits.top_5pct_share = 90 %

power_law.label = Power law x Power law

power_law.applicability = Applies to all startup/frontier ecosystems

Not for the weak hearted.

Private markets are here to stay.

I argue that private markets persist because seasoned investors bring patience, value‑add, and signaling that crowds cannot replicate, while token launches give immediate broad distribution but can distract founders.

private.markets.value_add = "seasoned investors have patience and value‑add + signal that a crowd will never have"

private.markets.upside_capture = "private market will capture the upside"

token.launch.day0.suitable = "for a certain kind of founder/startup, token launch day 0 makes sense"
