20VC Assertion Not checkable as stated

VenCap’s worst-performing fund was a 1999 vintage deployed in 15 months

“One of the mistakes we made in the late nineties was deploying our funds too quickly in, I think we had one fund that was fully invested in 15 months. And it was the worst fund we had. So it was in, you know, the 1999 vintage fund.”

20VC Disclosure

VenCap maintained a nearly three-year deployment pace for its 2019–2021 fund

“When I look at the fund that was deploying 1920, 21, we did that in a quarter under three years. So even though our managers were coming back, some of them in 18 months, we still maintain that time diversity in our portfolio.”
