Camilla Bergman: Is venture capital dead?

Venture capital firms are increasingly acting like private equity firms, investing in safe bets rather than disruptive ideas. This trend could have both positive and negative consequences for impact companies. But the question remains: who will take the necessary risks? asks Impact Loop's editor-in-chief, Camilla Bergman.
When I pitched Impact Loop to investors two years ago, I told them that we would deliver ten times the money in five years.
Ambitious, I thought – but according to some investors, it was far too little 'return on investment'. They wanted me to aim for 100 times the money – and with a plan to raise a substantially larger round in a few years. Something I neither believed in nor felt particularly keen on.
