Bradley Tusk, co-founder and managing partner at Tusk Venture Partners, told TechCrunch in today’s episode of Equity that VC as we know it is dead. And it has been for the last four years. “Maybe there’s some VC that I’ve never heard of that’s awash with liquidity the last couple of years, but we haven’t returned $1 in capital to our LPs in four years,” Tusk said. VC has had a rough couple of years thanks to higher-interest rates, crashed startup valuations from 2021 highs, and stymied IPO and

Did I do something wrong?” Did the investor hate the product? Did they not care for me personally?” It’s enough to drive anyone crazy. Ghosting is an undeniable signal of a lack of interest. If a VC wanted to invest, they would definitely respond to your cold call, or get back to you after the pitch. There
