LTV Capital Publishes Findings from over 800 Global Emerging Fund Managers Across the Venture Capital Ecosystem

Published

on

The report, “Venturing Forward: Mapping the Global Emerging Manager VC Landscape,” provides insight into global fund numbers and sizes, GP team sizes and gender, and financial metrics and performance from across the U.S., Europe, MENA, LatAm and SE Asia

LONDON, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LTV Capital, a venture capital fund-of-funds investing in best-in-class, capital-efficient, diverse emerging fund managers, has published an exclusive report with data from 800+ global emerging fund managers across the venture capital ecosystem. The report provides crucial insights for industry stakeholders, emphasizing the pivotal role emerging managers will play in shaping the new venture landscape. The report also uncovers the challenge of accessibility for both LPs and GPs across European, U.S. and emerging markets like MENA, LatAm and SE Asia, driving industry awareness during today’s venture capital reset.

LTV Capital was born out of the venture capital downturn that catalyzed new opportunities to invest in technology, led by a resurgence of emerging managers. The fund was co-founded by Farhan Lalji, veteran investor and former Managing Director at Anthemis Group who was responsible for Anthemis’ partnership with BBVA, investing directly into early-stage fintechs; and Dario de Wet, former Principal at Anthemis who co-led fund investments into six top-tier fund managers alongside Farhan. With a global network and ecosystem of emerging funds, LTV provides more than capital alone, serving both GPs and LPs.

“Dario and I have met hundreds – if not thousands – of fund managers throughout our careers, as startup founders and executives, then transitioning into investors in early-stage companies, and as fund investors. Our cumulative experience has enabled us to cultivate a remarkable network of fund managers worldwide, spanning various sectors, said Farhan Lalji, Founding Partner of LTV.

LTV Capital fosters strategic collaboration between LPs and GPs, supporting the development and growth of venture across geographies. The platform enables LPs to participate in the firm’s global network of funds, generating a deal pipeline for co-investment opportunities, obtain strategic insights and track these managers for potential future relationships.

“I meet with so many hungry, resilient and nimble entrepreneurs who’ve overcome numerous obstacles and succeeded,” said Julia Groves, Board Chair at Airex Technologies and former Managing Director of Sustainability at the British Business Bank. “Emerging fund managers have something to prove, and LTV provides the network and resources to support them. Research shows that having diversity in a fund leads to better risk-adjusted returns. The people who aren’t thinking this way will be left behind,” she said.

The report shows that the levels of activity within the emerging manager market continue to grow, as Europe is in greater competition with the U.S. And, managers in LatAm, MENA and SE Asia are quickly adopting U.S. practices towards fund strategy and positioning.

“As venture capital recovers from a welcomed downturn, we’re witnessing a resurgence of interest in emerging managers globally,” said Dario de Wet, Founding Partner of LTV. ” This shift signals a departure of opportunistic investors and emphasizes the importance of thoughtful capital allocation strategies as LPs recover. This paves the way for a new breed of emerging managers, who are intentional on their why, articulate about their network, and are focused on fundamentals. Amidst record-high inflation-adjusted dry powder, more than double that of the Dotcom Bubble, attracting LP capital hinges on these factors. I’m highly optimistic about the impact that LTV will have on the ecosystem,” he said.

Admitad’s new generation promo code solution boosts conversion for affiliates by 40%

Published

on

By

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Admitad, a global leader in partner marketing, launches New Generation Promo codes — a turnkey solution that offers a hassle-free way to attribute sales directly to affiliates through promo codes. Publishers receive full credit for every sale generated, regardless of how or where the transaction occurs. Brands enjoy increased tracking transparency and accuracy, wider reach and boosted sales. The loyalty of publishers to advertisers is also growing due to increased profits at the same traffic volumes.

By assigning a dedicated code to each affiliate, the solution ensures personalised promotions that increase the relevance and impact of marketing campaigns, while for publishers it guarantees no risk of promo code theft or cookie stuffing. Through access to a broader network, including social media influencers and content creators, businesses can expand their reach, diversify traffic sources, and unlock new audience segments.

Solution embraces the CPS model, guaranteeing that businesses only pay for completed sales. This makes marketing spend more predictable, enabling companies to optimise their ROI. Promo codes are automatically withdrawn from publishers failing to generate sales within a specified timeline and are then reallocated to those who consistently deliver results.

Promo code tracking also solves the problem of cross-device order attribution, including tracking on mobile devices and within mobile applications. Admitad’s solution is able to bypass other tracking obstacles as well. It works seamlessly even if ad blockers, privacy settings and other extensions interfere with traditional cookie tracking.

Affiliates using New Generation Promo codes alongside their affiliate links have experienced a significant spike in conversions. Admitad compared the number of actions and growth rate of partners who previously worked only with affiliate links. Calculations showed consistent 30-40% growth in the number of actions and sales after just 3 months of promo code usage.

More conversions translate directly into increased commissions and revenue growth. By offering discounts or special offers, they incentivize consumers to make purchases that might not have otherwise been considered. It also offers publishers a powerful tool to foster deeper customer engagement.

Publishers and brands can access New Generation Promo codes through the Promo code Catalog in the Admitad Store. These codes are recommended to be used alongside the affiliate links, offering a powerful combination that ensures the best possible tracking and maximizes the conversion potential.
