Eakman: Highest Investment Returns at UTIMCO Were in Venture Capital
“And yeah, it helped that my best returns were in venture too.”
UTIMCO Secured a 20% LP Position in Union Square Ventures' Early Fund
“I think we had the opportunity to get 20% ownership, and that's what we wanted, just like all the VCs do in companies. At UTEMCO, and frankly, today, we like being an important part of the capital base.”
