NextGen Newsletter - December 2022
NextGen is a 20+ year old community supporting each new generation of venture capital talent.
Hey y’all,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Hope everyone is enjoying the start of winter and getting some very special time in with family and friends. We have a PACKED newsletter edition for the end of the year.
First up - we have the final results of our inaugural list of NextGen Rising Stars! This list is entirely community-driven, without any publications or editorial teams involved. Check out this first set of 12 investors who our peers believe are meant for greatness!
Also - check out our content section for a link to the results of the VC Compensation Survey for 2022. Some really great data has been collected by Equal Ventures that should serve as helpful guidance in future negotiations.
On behalf of the entire NextGen board, we wish you all a very happy holidays and a happy new year. See you in 2023!
Thanks,
Shawn and the NextGen Board
