Venture capital plays a distinct role in investment strategies, offering access to high-growth opportunities outside of traditional public markets.
In the latest episode of Trust Company Talks, Bill Noble and Burke Koonce welcome Ted Clark and Jon Terbell of FourBridge Partners to discuss how private market investing works, the nuances of venture capital and how families and institutions can approach these opportunities strategically.
With decades of experience managing private investments, including building the Babson College endowment’s venture capital allocation, Ted and Jon share how FourBridge Partners identifies strong investment managers and builds long-term portfolios. They also discuss how patience and a methodical approach can make a significant difference when investing in venture capital.
Topics covered include:
- How venture capital differs from private equity and hedge funds
- The importance of liquidity when considering private market investments
- Strategies for selecting and accessing the right venture capital opportunities
- Market trends, including AI, blockchain and deep tech
Ted and Jon emphasize that successful venture capital investing is not about timing the market, it’s about steady, disciplined allocations over time.
