Insights & ideas
Greg Rosen argues that venture used to be inherently collaborative, with smaller funds teaming up on rounds, but that dynamic eroded over the last decade as funds grew large and adopted sharper elbows and demands for ownership [1]. He describes BoxGroup's deliberate choice to remain a neutral, "Switzerland" player by never leading seed or Series A rounds, even when a deal looks exceptional, because leading rounds creates a binary moment that destroys trust with co-investors who would then wonder whether they are seeing all of BoxGroup's deals or only the leftovers [1].
He frames this as a scaling tradeoff: firms typically scale by raising larger funds and moving upmarket into leading rounds, whereas BoxGroup instead scales by increasing deal velocity, doing around 80 investments a year while keeping checks sized to track seed round inflation, growing from 50-75K historically to 750K-1M now, so founders can easily say yes regardless of whether a lead exists [1]. He identifies avoiding adverse selection, more than sheer deal volume, as the central challenge this model must solve [1].

Greg Rosen discusses BoxGroup's collaborative venture model, explaining why the firm maintains a Switzerland-like neutral stance by not leading seed or Series A rounds despite making approximately 80 investments per year. He describes how BoxGroup has scaled check sizes from 50-75K historically to 750K-1M currently to align with inflation in seed round sizes, allowing founders to easily say yes while remaining collaborative with other investors in syndicates.
