US VC Crisis? Survival Tactics and Impacts in a Market Without Exits

What happens when VC-backed exits grind to a halt? Is the venture capital industry facing a crisis?

In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we dive deep into the knock-on impact of this US exit drought on the venture capital ecosystem, as well as the strategies VCs are employing to navigate these turbulent times.

According to PitchBook, U.S. VC-backed exit value has plummeted 86% from its peak in 2021 and the industry is grappling with potential challenges in returning capital to Limited Partners (LPs). Kevin Brockland, Managing Partner of Indelible Ventures, joins us to unpack this and explain how firms are adapting. From extending fund lifespans to leveraging secondary market sales and continuation funds, we explore the evolving landscape and its implications for both investors and startups.
