\nInsight cutting its fundraising target isn\u2019t reason to panic<\/br>
\n2023-06-21 21:36:30<\/br><\/p>\n

No, not every venture fund will need to slash its funding goals<\/h2>\n
\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

The late-stage market<\/span> is truly whacked<\/a>. But it\u2019s not only the startups who are suffering.<\/p>\n

Insight Partners, a double-dipper growth equity and late-stage venture investor, recently reduced its fundraising target of $20 billion to $15 billion<\/a> after raising a measly<\/em> $2 billion of the pot.<\/p>\n

Insight isn\u2019t the only venture firm that has had to deflate its fundraising ambitions. TCV reportedly ended up raising only 55% to 75% of<\/a> its $5.5 billion target for its fund last year, and Founders Fund cut its target in half from $1.8 billion to $900 million this March. We\u2019ve also seen various firms, including Vibe Capital, return funds that they weren\u2019t confident they\u2019d be able to invest.<\/p>\n

So what does it mean? While some are acting like this is the writing on the wall for fundraising this year, I think that view paints the industry with too broad a brush. Let\u2019s get real here for a second: These firms wouldn\u2019t be able to deploy all that capital in this climate, and resetting expectations now is better than having to change course later.<\/p>\n

To put it into perspective, only $11.3 billion was invested in late-stage companies in the first quarter of this year, according to PitchBook. That\u2019s the lowest quarterly total since the fourth quarter of 2017, which saw $8 billion invested.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s look at Insight, which was trying to raise $20 billion. If it were to raise that total and the late-stage market didn\u2019t improve drastically over the next year or so, the firm would have to invest in a significant portion of all<\/em> late-stage deals during their investment period. That wouldn\u2019t allow them to pick and choose investments based on quality. Instead, it would put them in a race to get capital out the door.<\/p>\n

Insight, which usually only comes in at the later stages when it is backing a startup, was trying to raise an absolutely laughable amount of money so it could invest in the slowest category in the market right now. I think it would have struggled to raise this much in any year except the boom times of 2021.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
