The Crisis

A System of Zombie Capital.

Venture Capital has become a graveyard of misaligned incentives, inflated valuations, and predatory fee structures.

We are witnessing the death of the traditional 2/20 model. The industry is haunted by "zombie" funds that persist solely on management fees while failing to return meaningful capital to LPs.
