Industry Ventures just raised $1.4 billion for one of the largest venture capital secondary funds ever

"Everyone is gonna have to have a secondary strategy," said Ken Sawyer, co-founder of Saints Capital, another major player in the VC secondary market. Despite being an attractive investment opportunity, he said, the market is still relatively underdeveloped. Sawyer estimates that, before this latest fundraise, there was only about $4 billion in dry powder chasing upwards of $60 billion in opportunities in the asset class.
