Transparency. Let’s have a round of applause for CalPers, the giant state pension fund, for transparency. Beth Healy of the Boston Globe (8/17/2001) reports Money managers aghast that pension investor shows returns, rankings. It’s a report card that has rocked the secretive venture capital world, and one that even the `A’ students didn’t care to see displayed on the refrigerator. Calpers, the giant California pension fund that sets trends for many large investors, has posted on its Web site the performance of every venture or buyout fund in which it’s invested for the past decade. Firms typically guard these numbers carefully, but the Calpers chart even says which funds are meeting expectations, and which are disappointments. … The industry buzz around the report stems from the secrecy with which venture firms and buyout artists guard the specifics of their returns. Virtually every firm claims ”top quartile” performance, and the numbers they give out are suspect, venture analysts say. Steve Lisson of Austin, Texas, on his controversial Web site, InsiderVC.com, tracks venture returns by doing his own calculations on venture portfolios. He is the only independent source on such numbers and has drawn fire from some venture capitalists for breaking the code of silence. … over the long term, Calpers has been doing something right. As of March 31, its average annual return for 10 years of private equity investing was 17.5%. The Wilshire 2500 Index, a broad stock market benchmark, was up 13.9% in that period. Would that the federal government would do the same with alleged investment programs like SBIR.

The inside scoop on VCs

The inside scoop on VCs

The inside scoop on VCs


For those who measure their worth by their investments and their stock holdings -- pretty much all of Silicon Valley -- there's a new website that looks to be rivaling F*****company.com for sly subversive attention.

InsiderVC.com has become the site everyone reads. And it's the one where no one wants to see his or her own name appear, just like its profanely named counterpart.

"I think that's great," says editor and founder Steve Lisson. "I'm liking it the more I ruminate on it."

InsiderVC.com is heavy on the dry financial analysis -- and subscriptions are very expensive -- so it's not for everyone. It was started by the Austin, Texas-based Lisson because, as he happily acknowledges, he wanted to know how venture capitalists measured performance other than, of course, by purchasing airplanes.

"I just got totally fascinated, if you will, with that question: Who are the top venture capitalists and how are they seen by their peers," says Lisson, who says that VCs and journalists make up a large part of his audience.

Well, he's come up with some interesting answers. And while he likes the F*****company.com comparison, Lisson has one caution. "We don't just use profanity," Lisson said. "We use objective data."
