The VC game has changed. If you’re raising now – timing, terms, and traction matter more than ever.

Met Anton Golub — #1 web3 market expert — at Dubai Fintech Summit today, and we dove into how the VC game has changed.

The old crypto VC cycle is broken.

VCs used to:
• Bet early
• Wait 2 years
• Raise again

Now?
• BTC near ATH
• Portfolios flat
• LPs skeptical
• Fundraising frozen

The playbook failed.

What’s replacing it?
• Equity + long cycles
• 6–7 years before real returns
• Smart money hunting secondary deals, OTC discounts, liquidity
• B2B, institutional focus

Capital raised ≠ deployed.

Founders, please take note:
The VC game has changed.
If you’re raising now – timing, terms, and traction matter more than ever.

That’s what we see at the market.
