As a globally focused LP in early stage VC funds, we at Blue Future Partners have observed a growing trend of firms investing substantially in software tools, whether developing proprietary solutions or adopting off the shelf tools.

At the same time, ICOs have emerged as a new way for projects to raise money globally in a frictionless way.

We are on the UP Global board together but have never served on a for-profit board together. And they have a fiduciary responsibility to their own limited partners. But upon reading them carefully, I think they are both right, and a great example of mentor whiplash. At the end of the day, your board is not your friend.

On top of this, technology is no longer a vertical sector — it is entirely horizontal and spreading outward into global markets and new industries. And, the more funds that are raised, the more fees VCs can collect, which are contractually guaranteed in limited partner agreements.Only time will tell which approach is best or optimal.

Conversely you could blame the LP's (limited partners: the investors in venture funds) and say they are the one's not risking it enough. If you can pool resources, you can properly finance start-ups to compete globally. They invest far too little in the venture funds which then don't have the funds to place larger bets.
