When I look at the state of venture capital today, I see an industry ready for change. The traditional barriers to entry are still too high, the tools are too complex, and launching and running a fund is needlessly difficult.
This must change.
This must change.
Our vision for 2025 is clear and ambitious. We will democratize access to venture capital through training, tools, and capital. The future of venture is not about a small number of massive funds, but rather thousands of specialist managers who deeply understand their markets.
Here are the key transformations we will drive:
First, we are radically lowering barriers to entry. The old gatekeeping model of venture capital is ending. Through VC Lab and our other programs, we are enabling talented managers worldwide to launch funds with minimal friction.

- Launching a new fund structure to instantly launch a VC fund and back startups on the same day
- Releasing an emerging program to help managers on Fund II and III build enduring firms
Next, we are dramatically simplifying fund operations. Our Decile Hub platform is becoming the operating system for modern venture capital, with AI-powered tools that make complex tasks simple and intuitive.
- Implementing powerful AI Toolkits and AI-powered enhancements to every VC activity
- Introducing user interface improvements for easier access, including Kanban, lists, and dashboards
Then, we are creating a global ecosystem. By connecting Limited Partners with emerging managers worldwide, we are building a more inclusive and dynamic venture capital landscape.
- Expanding the success of our Marketplace v2 initiative to match more LPs with GPs worldwide
- Growing by 3x+ the number of emerging limited partners that train in the leading LP Institute program
Lastly, we are making venture capital fun again. Running a fund should be about supporting visionary founders and building the future, not drowning in paperwork and complexity.
- Rolling out venture events in major cities worldwide for GPs and LPs to socialize and share knowledge
- Expanding our vibrant online communities in Slack to include all GPs, LPs, and other venture stakeholders
These programs and the transformation are underway. With over 600 VC firms launched through VC Lab and more than 1,000 firms using our platform monthly, we see the impact of our work every day.
We are doing more than just making venture capital more efficient. We are building a more ethical financial system. Through initiatives like the Mensarius Oath, we are building a community of investors committed to positive impact.
We are grateful to be alive at this turning point in history. The time has come to transform this industry into a force for good in the world. Together, we will build this future.
