Honestly I'm not aware of any growth shop that gives out sourcing bonuses at the VP+ level (plenty who do for juniors). I think the logic is that by that point in your career, you need to take ownership and do the value-add thing without any special incentive. If you just want to maximize cash comp from sourcing, your best bet would be to take a pure BD role. 

Most every growth firm still values sourcing and will intangibly reward your superstardom with faster promotes, more respect, etc. if you're as good as you say. But if you're actually at a TA / Summit, I'm not sure there's any alternative that would be materially better there.

I don't know the Valley venture firms well, but in general their approach to sourcing is the opposite of what you're used to -- heavy on media, branding, etc. to drive inbound referrals versus your world which is really an "enterprise sales" approach. With possible exception for folks like Accel who will occasionally take down a big bootstrapped whale, I'd be surprised if they value your skillset any more than a true growth firm.
