Pay is good from a cash perspective but sovereign wealth funds don't pay out carry so less upside, especially longer-term.

Mubadala does not get the deal flow that a16z, Sequoia get. They basically get looks at the deals the top tier firms pass on. That's how these things go. Now they do have a lower target return profile and the a16z/Seqouia's of the world don't always get it right, so there can still be opportunity, but you do have to deal with adverse selection.

 

I'd be careful with the "Sequoia sees something someone else doesn't" argument. From own anecdotal experience majority of the time one of those names invests in something that idk gets flashy headlines it's almost always a company we and/or my friends in the industry have evaluated/lost/passed on. Equally you can say that Sequoia invested in something that idk Mubadala passed on. Those firms just decided to take the view for whatever reason, and it's always surprising when it's a company you thought wasn't interesting enough, but it's very rarely an access thing.
