Cracking the Venture Code: Power Laws & Fund Returners

What do unicorns, power laws, and fund returners have in common?

In this episode of Balentic Edge, Kasper Wichmann sits down with David Clark, CIO and Managing Director at Vencap, to unpack the data-driven truths shaping venture capital. Together they explore why “average” venture funds are a losing bet, how fund returners rather than unicorns drive portfolio outcomes, why LPs should focus on the top 1% of exits worth $10B or more, and what it takes to build lasting VC strategies across cycles.

Whether you’re an LP, GP, or allocator, this is a must-listen conversation about navigating venture capital with discipline, data, and long-term perspective.
