Fred Wilson on Union Square Ventures raising a $500 million core fund and a $400 million opportunity fund. He opens by responding to Kyle’s post arguing that the USV and Benchmark announcements mark the end of venture’s “short kings,” then explains why USV still sees itself as an early-stage firm that backs teams in its thesis areas.

Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
