Thoughts on A16Z vs Bain Capital Ventures?
Haven't had the opportunity to really explore the crypto landscape and curious about these two players in the space.

A16Z has great support (capital markets, GTM team / sales leads) whereas I've heard from a founder who took BCV money that they're kind of meh value proposition wise and not that special.
You have to weigh that with pricing though. You are just describing to the overall a16z thesis (leveraging massive in-house expert/founder support network helps them negotiate better priced deals). From an investing seat perspective, I've no idea the pro/con from experience perspective.
BCV crypto has only been around since midsummer last year tho. a16z is def the whale in the space, don't get me wrong.
Having seen the nuts and bolts of some of their diligence I guarantee this is purely lip service
Meaning a16z overpays anyway relative to others?
Appreciate the color here in both firms. Sounds like A16Z is the place to be and might have better reputation with PortCos?
To put things into perspective: you are comparing a VC behemoth with the venture arm of a PE firm spun out of a consulting firm.
