There is a simple answer to this. Lack of liquidity. Big funds will never put any percentage into anything without liquidity. If somebody were to put some sort of fund together that invested in startups and had a stock price with some liquidy itself, then super money might head to startups. But I suspect there just aren't enough decent startups out there to get to a point of liquidity for a fund for startups.
I've had discussions about getting private equity and venture capital into more super options and even this is considered too risky. So startups is a whole other level of risk :).
