Former Titan Capital’s partner Bipin Shah launches micro VC firm Zeropearl: Bipin Shah, former managing partner at Titan Capital, has announced the launch of his new micro-VC firm, Zeropearl, with a clear and founder-centric investment approach. Zeropearl focuses on a “founder only” thesis, according to Shah’s LinkedIn post. The firm will lead investments at the friends & family or pre-seed stage, acting as the first significant backer for startups. Zeropearl is sector-agnostic but has a particular inclination toward Consumer (D2C/B2C) and SaaS/GenAI sectors. For SaaS companies, Zeropearl is open to pre-revenue investments, while consumer products need to show at least Rs 1 lakh in monthly revenue. The investment process is designed to be decisive and efficient, with founders receiving either a “No” or a “Yes” with a term sheet within seven days. Investments are expected to close within one month. Zeropearl plans to make 12-15 selective investments a year, aiming to hold an 8% stake in each portfolio company. Beyond funding, Zeropearl offers active support to its portfolio companies, focusing on growth and preparing for a strong Series A round within 15 months.  Although 80% of investments will align with these guidelines, the firm remains adaptable to market shifts, Shah mentioned in a LinkedIn post. #startupnews #startups

This week, Michael Johnston addresses the increasing popularity of continuation funds. A continuation fund involves transferring stakes from one or more portfolio companies—usually held in an existing venture capital fund—into a new investment vehicle. This new fund serves a dual purpose: it provides additional time and capital for portfolio companies that need an extended runway to achieve milestones like a sale or IPO, while also offering liquidity to the original investors. These investors can either exit by selling their stakes or reinvesting them into the continuation fund, depending on their preferences Read more here: https://ow.ly/GRwb50TJ34c

The private equity (PE) middle market is showing signs of recovery, with dealmaking rebounding faster than the broader PE industry. Improved lending conditions and competition among lenders have boosted activity, with larger PE funds, like KKR and Thoma Bravo, seeking middle-market opportunities due to limited large-cap deals. In the first half of 2024, PE firms closed 1,699 middle-market buyouts, an 11.5% increase from last year, and total deal value is projected to reach $345 billion, potentially marking one of the segment's best years. Despite challenges in exits and fundraising, the positive dealmaking momentum signals a strong recovery ahead, especially with anticipated interest rate cuts expected to support future growth.

As markets remain frozen, private equity funds are facing growing concerns from investors, as reported by Eric Platt, @Sun Yu, and Antoine Gara for the Financial Times. The article features an interesting quote from Steven Meier, CIO of the New York City Retirement System. He mentions that the growth of fund-level NAV loans — which many leading PE funds including Vista Equity Partners and The Carlyle Group had been using — was driven by the need to appease #investors pushing for more exits and cash distributions. Given LP’s heightened unease about adding new layers of leverage, private #equity firms have now drastically reduced their use of these loans to pay dividends. This caused the total value of NAV loans acquired for this purpose to plummet by 90%. However, it seems that some funds are continuing to promote these #loans with other intentions, such as injecting liquidity into portfolio companies in dire need of fresh capital. What are your thoughts on PE funds using NAV loans to allay liquidity concerns? Let us know in the comments!
