This is the kind of buffoon we have LARP’ing as VCs these days. 

Didn’t read my post. Didn’t look at the details. Wanted to see whatever he wanted and spouted off. I was quite explicit about focusing on Net DPI (the only real number in the game) and not TVPI which is a bullshit metric. 

Is this the kind of moron you want handling your money? If so, you will eventually lose what you give him. 

LPs please take note of his attention to detail (poor), his ability to read (also poor) and then ask for his Net DPI to you before giving this guy any money. 

As I have stated many times, TVPI is a bullshit vanity metric. You can’t eat IRR or fake markups. You can only eat from Net DPI to you. 

Ignore this at your own risk.
