Term Sheet — Wednesday, March 4

Hunt is a New York-based co-founder and director with eyeglass upstart Warby Parker, and joined HCP back in 2011. He currently serves on the board of Scopely, and has been involved with such HCP portfolio companies as Gemvara, Harry’s and SessionM. Daly joined HCP’s Boston-area office in early 2012 as a principal, after having spent three years with Accel Partners. He was promoted to partner the following year, and serves on the board of Malwarebytes.

The pair actually has a bit more shared history than just working together at HCP. My understanding is that Daly (while still with Accel) offered up the first term sheet to Warby Parker. But he lost out to an offer that came with a lower valuation but also less dilution (i.e., less cash). No word yet on what Hunt and Daly plan to name their new firm.

In other HCP news, longtime chief financial officer Kathy Barry is expected to transition into an advisory role this May, while director of finance Jessica Pelletier will be promoted to senior vice president of finance.

• That's settled: Former CIA director David Petraeus has reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, related to the alleged sharing of classified information with his former mistress.

Under terms of the deal, Petraeus admitted to one count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified materials. It theoretically could result in the decorated U.S. Army veteran spending up to one year in prison, but it will not affect his current job as chairman of the KKR Global Institute, a unit of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. that studies “macroeconomic trends and government policies to assess their implications on the firm’s investments.”

In a statement, KKR said: “Since joining the firm in 2013, David Petraeus has made valuable contributions to KKR, and his work has benefited our investors. We look forward to working with him as he continues to add value as Chairman of the KKR Global Institute.”

• Recommended reading: Matthew Goldstein has an interesting piece in the NYT today about how several large private equity firms are “providing financing indirectly to hundreds of real estate funds buying single-family homes, something that until recently was not widely available.” This greenfield opportunity comes on the heels of these same firms – particularly The Blackstone Group – buying up large swaths of residential properties on their own.

• Unicorn quiz time: In the past 24 hours, both Farfetch and NextDoor have joined the ranks of startups valued at $1 billion or more. Can you name the startup that hit the $1 billion valuation mark within the past 6 months that already is in talks to raise another large round of funding? Hint: West Coast-based.

• Abdicated responsibility: We haven't discussed the Pao vs. KPCB case much in this space so far this week. Apologies. But I am paying attention -- or trying to from a few thousand miles away -- and will likely devote most of tomorrow's column to it. If you have been paying attention and have some thoughts, please send them over.

THE BIG DEAL

• FarFetch, a London-based online marketplace that helps independent boutiques sell their luxury wares, this morning announced that it has raised $86 million in new venture capital funding at a valuation of around $1 billion.

DST Global led the round, and was joined by return backers Condé Nast International and Vitruvian Partners. The company previously raised over $100 million from firms like Advent Venture Partners and Index Ventures (neither of which participated this time, as the deal became a bit too large and rich).
