Curious about how crypto VCs actually structure their teams. Do most of them have completely separate units handling acquisitions versus liquidations? Or do the same investment managers juggle both sides of the deal?

Seems like there could be interesting conflicts or efficiencies either way. If they're split, maybe it creates better focus but also silos. If they overlap, you'd think that expertise accumulates faster but the incentives get messy.

Anyone working in the space who can share how this typically plays out?

This question is really well-phrased. In fact, most crypto VCs in the early stages are doing two jobs by one person. Only when the funds are sufficient do they start to divide roles, but after dividing, it often leads to more internal friction...

I've seen a few where one person handles both ends, and they say that expertise accumulation is actually just to save money...

To be honest, this question is a bit naive... Most crypto VCs are already completely rotten; who cares about organizational structure, as long as they can raise funds.

Honestly, most crypto VCs in the early days were doing three jobs by themselves... It was only after more funding came in that they gradually divided responsibilities, but it still tends to get messy.
