> A VC firm is handed a billion dollars they must invest by quarter end

Is “by quarter end” accurate?

I thought VC were typically given 2-years to invest their fund.

Can someone confirm.

More like 6 years is the standard US investment term on a 10 fund life with 2x 1-year extensions taking it to 12. Investment term can end early if they raise a new fund but need to be 70% invested and committed. Original comment…not entirely credible…tbh

I think it was a poetic way to say they have quarterly targets to meet. Pretend it's an $8 Billon fund

This.
