What are your thoughts on the Solo Fund Manager versus Multi-Fund Manager Approach?

My experience with Venture Capital has seen funds that operate with a single fund manager and others with multiple fund managers. Often, performance is very similar and each respective fund sees the value in their own approach. As a third party, is there any major benefits going down the single fund manager or multi-fund manager approach?

It is critical for Managing Partners (founders of venture capital firms) to partner with people that they know extremely well and that they have had an extensive long-term working relationship. Partner breakups in VC firms have dire consequences given that these firms are 15 - 20 year commitments at a minimum. Therefore, if the choice is between being a solo GP or partnering with someone who you don't know extremely well, the best choice is often to be solo.
