6 years?

As an LP, I would be excited for liquidity in 10 years at this point.

It seems like even for successful companies, there isn't a clear path to an exit for many of them. Add to that the increase in late-stage investors, and there isn't much of an incentive to exit.



A bit hyperbolic but yeah. It also depends on the industry / stage. I’m always looking for creative ways to get liquidity out given the exit issues you mention.


I wasn't trying to be hyperbolic actually. I really would be happy if an exit would happen in 10 years.

Thankfully, I can be patient, but I wonder sometimes if some of these companies will ever exit.


Sorry, I meant my statement was a bit hyperbolic at 6 years.

Waiting for a few as well, good luck!
