Chamath Palihapitiya is scaling back his ambitions for his venture firm's fifth fund.

Chamath Palihapitiya is reportedly re-focusing Social Capital, his venture outfit, on earlier stage companies.

As part of that shift, his Palo Alto venture firm's next fund — its fifth — will be significantly smaller and will have a more narrow focus than he originally planned,Thursday, citing a letter Palihapitiya sent to investors. He now plans to raise about $1 billion for the fund — instead of"billions" — and no longer plans to use it to back more mature startups or to make non-traditional venture investments, according to the report.

"While our early stage portfolio continued to thrive, we were disappointed in the broader growth stages of technology investing and their interest in valuation sobriety," Palihapitiya said in the letter, according to Axios.
