Our first deal in commercial aviation. It directly addresses the problem of CO2 emissions from air transport in a much more immediate way than the electric aircraft, which remains a difficult equation to solve.

Portfolio construction in Venture Capital is not just diversification — it’s the process of allocating capital so that risk is aligned with the probability of generating outliers. The goal isn’t to invest in more startups, but in the right ones — and in the right proportion. Portfolio construction typically starts before the first investment: defining ticket sizes, target ownership, follow-on strategy, and diversification across stages or sectors. But it doesn’t end there — an Lp once told me "the portfolio is a living monster." Over time, managers track performance, adjust reserves, rebalance exposure, and decide where to double down or cut losses. Great GPs don’t just build portfolios — they continuously optimize them.

Great article from our friends Project Equity showing that employee ownership isn't just a niche, it's a growing movement: ➡️ Preserves legacy for founders and their families that built the business ➡️ 10.8 million U.S. workers are active in an ESOP, nearly matching private‑equity–backed employment ➡️ Firms with ESOPs are more likely to stay rooted locally, preserving jobs and community wealth ➡️ Workers who begin early in ESOPs see ~92% higher median household wealth than peers Full article: https://lnkd.in/gvM_rYNi

Great news for the secondary market — but a warning signal for private equity market? The secondary market is having a record year. 🚀 That is clearly positive for liquidity solutions — but it also reflects a structural challenge in private equity, driven by persistently low distributions. 📉 Private equity distributions have now remained below historical averages for four consecutive years, the longest such period in more than two decades. 📊 Based on own analysis, distributions as a share of total NAV averaged around 20% to 30% pre-2001 (see my PhD thesis) and between 2012 and 2020. Recent calculations based on data from WSIB’s webpage illustrates how far current conditions have shifted. While 26.6% of NAV has been still distributed in 2021, the ratio declined to 11% and 10% in 2022 and 2023 and around 15% in 2024 and with a similar expectation for 2025 (see chart below). 🖇️ This is not an isolated datapoint. StepStone Group research shows that distributions hovered just above 10% of NAV between 2022 and 2024, well below the post-2000 average of ~20%. A rapid normalization appears unlikely. 👉 With IPO markets subdued and M&A exits slower, traditional liquidity channels have been constrained. 📈 As a result, an increasing share of liquidity demand has migrated to the secondary market. Studies from Jefferies, Evercore and Campbell Lutyens point to ~USD 230bn of secondary volume in 2025, split broadly evenly between LP-driven and GP-driven transactions. 🎆 LP-led sales reached record scale with 56 deals more than USD 1bn; 9 deals above 2 bn and a record one at around 5bn, while GP-led continuation vehicles have become a normalized part of the market toolkit. 💡This is great news for the maturity and depth of the secondary market. At the same time, it is a clear signal of stress in private equity cash-flow dynamics. When secondaries increasingly replace distributions as the primary source of liquidity, portfolio construction, pacing models, and return expectations need to be rethought. 👉 What is your expectation: Are historical distribution levels coming back soon or will the secondary market hit new records in 2026 or both? #PrivateEquity #Buyout #VentureCapital #Investment #MergersAndAcquisitions #AlternativeInvestments #AssetManagement #Fundraising #GrowthCapital #PrivateCapital #LimitedPartners

At Delphinus Venture Capital, our entire investment strategy revolves around one simple idea: 👉 Reduce information asymmetry over time and make better decisions because of it.   One of the most underestimated levers in venture? Time   There’s a massive difference between what you learn in a due diligence process and what you learn by working alongside founders for years. Watching how they: • Navigate uncertainty • Handle setbacks • Allocate scarce resources • Evolve as leaders That’s insight you can’t model in a spreadsheet. That’s also why we lean into a long-term re-investment strategy.   We often write our first check as early as possible. Not because we have perfect conviction but because we want to build it.   By the time we allocate meaningful capital in later rounds (85% of our AuM), our decisions are shaped by years of shared context, trust, and pattern recognition.   Our recent investment in REDUCED is a great example. I first met and invested in Emil Munck de Voss and William Anton Lauf Olsen back in 2020. Since then, I’ve followed their journey closely. So when the opportunity to double down came it wasn’t really a decision.   It was the result of years of learning.   Conviction compounds.   Curious how others think about this and how much you reserve of your AuM for follow-on investments?
