Why are the firms opening themselves up to a co-CEO/hybrid arrangement? asks Steve Lisson, CEO of InsiderVC.com.What am I missing here.It reminds me of that cliché that a camel is a horse designed by committee..

...

Mr. Lisson, who keeps a close eye on VCs, says he doesn't expect other pension funds or institutions to follow suit because the advantages are unclear.In fact, there may be a disadvantage.For one, other limited partners may be unhappy if another limited partner gets closer to the firm's general partners, because they might consider themselves to be on unequal footing.CalPERS, which manages $ 170 billion in assets, now has 4.6 percent of its fund invested in private equity concerns.It has investment relationships with close to 100 VC firms.More significantly, the pension fund now has equity stakes in three venture capital firms, including Thomas Weisel Partners.

Redpoint struggling to crank out results

www.insidervc.com, 7 Aug 2002 [cached]

"Historically, you only needed one monster hit to have a successful fund," says Steve Lisson, editor and publisher of InsiderVC.com."With funds of over half a billion in size, you're going to need two or more monster hits."He said there is no tested model for managing VC funds of over $1 billion in size: "It's something that would worry me," he says. Redpoint's partners are also still managing their previous funds at IVP and Brentwood, several of which were started in 1997 or later. And though these are what made Redpoint's reputation, some of them are turning out less stellar than originally thought. Take Brentwood's 1998 fund.On March 31, 2000, the fund boasted a 160 percent "internal rate of return," according to InsiderVC data.
