Pavan Diwakar — Co-Founder

In 2021, venture capital went insane. Firms deployed billions at 30x revenue multiples. Everyone said "this time is different." 2023: Those funds were down 15-50%. Bottom quartile. Wipeout. The problem wasn't that people didn't see it coming. The problem is they saw it coming and invested anyway. Why? Because everyone was asking "what happened?" instead of "what happens next?" That's what I do differently. I run Under 59 - a weekly newsletter that doesn't recap VC news. It predicts what's next. Every Friday: - I pick the most important VC move of the week - I explain what everyone's getting wrong about it - I predict what actually happens next (with data and timelines) - I tell you where my prediction could fail - I give you frameworks to make your own predictions WHY PREDICTION MATTERS MORE THAN ANALYSIS: Anyone can analyze what happened. "Tiger Global raised $2.2B." Cool, now what? "AI funding is up 84%." What does that mean for non-AI companies? "43% of capital went to 14 companies." What happens to everyone else? The insights that matter come from asking "what's next?" not "what was that?" MY METHOD: I track 5 signals every prediction: - Capital flows (where money's actually going) - Deal volume (how many deals vs how much money) - LP behavior (who's recommitting, who's pulling back) - Exit data (IPO vs M&A vs secondaries) - Regulatory shifts (what changes the rules) Then I make a prediction. With confidence levels. With timelines. And I track it publicly. No hindsight bias. No selective memory. When I'm right, you see it and when I'm wrong, you see that too. RECENT PREDICTIONS: → "Only 2-3 crypto IPOs will succeed in H1 2026" (tracking in progress) → "The middle class of startups is dead" (based on capital concentration data) → "Secondaries will replace IPOs as primary exit by Q4 2026" (70% confidence) Subscribe: [https://vcsignals.beehiiv.com/] Every Friday.
