Mark Goldberg knows how much the venture capital market has changed in recent years. A partner at Index Ventures, Goldberg remembers the days when investors would meet up on Monday mornings to sip cappuccinos, pore over pitch decks and dig into due diligence. But in today’s record-breaking market, things look a little different. At his firm, lengthy investor meetings have been replaced with blocked calendar slots in case a partner has to sign a last-minute term sheet quickly. “The whole way that we have organized has changed to adapt to the market, '' Goldberg says. “Now capital is on demand. You can get a round done in 24 hours from a traditional VC fund and a host of new entrants.”
