Iyan Unsworth, Vice President of AXA Venture Partners sits down with David Weisburd to discuss about on how a Fund of Funds backed by one of the world's largest insurance companies is revolutionizing the venture capital landscape.

Key Points

  • AXA Venture Partners focuses on investing in global markets, including the US, Europe, and parts of Asia, with a strategy that aligns with the most promising opportunities in these regions.
  • Emerging managers often make the mistake of overpromising and underdelivering, highlighting the importance of aligning fund sizes with realistic and executable strategies.
  • The venture secondary market has seen significant growth recently, driven by structural factors like companies staying private longer and a constrained IPO window, making it a key area of focus for AXA Venture Partners.
