Adeo Ressi says his organization helps launch between 60 and 70 percent of new venture capital firms worldwide. In this episode, the Decile Group and VC Lab founder explains why starting a VC fund is far harder than most people expect, why big institutions rarely back first-time managers, and why fundraising is really a numbers-driven grind. Ressi also argues that venture capital remains concentrated in a small number of cities — and that expanding it to hundreds more could reshape who gets funded and where innovation happens.
