- Proper due diligence is crucial for LPs, not just in assessing past performance but also in understanding the thought process behind investments and how strategies may adapt in the future.
- Transparency from venture capital managers, especially regarding failures and operational practices, builds trust with LPs and can lead to more productive, long-term partnerships.
