VC Fund Dossiers

TCV is the OG crossover shop — they literally invented the model of investing in both private and public companies from the same fund back in 1995. Jay Hoag has been on Netflix's board for over 20 years and they owned 43% pre-IPO, which tells you everything about their conviction and staying power. These aren't spray-and-pray investors — they write big checks ($3M-$300M range) and stick around for the long haul. The crossover model gives them unique flexibility during market downturns when they can buy undervalued public tech stocks. With $25B+ AUM and a track record spanning three decades, they're about as blue-chip as growth equity gets. The downside? You're getting institutional-grade rigor, not scrappy startup energy, and they're hunting for category leaders, not early-stage bets.
