To consolidate the firm structure we are trying to figure out what are the requirements for each role in terms of background, duration of commitment, financial commitment and how many can one have in a firm. Any thoughts or framework on this would be helpful.
I am noticing there are many fees based VP structure popping up. Some start as little as $1k. This is something I found on a form in a VC firm that hasn't closed yet, but they say they have registered and currently run SPVs. "Venture Partners are required to invest a minimum of $5,000, receive incentives for raising capital, gain access and voting rights for our proprietary dealflow and benefit from a elite and diverse network." They have 70 VPs so far. It sounds more of a fee based angel syndicate but with "Venture Partner" titles, as well as a promise for a board seat. Not sure how that's possible with their check size between $100k-200K
A small startup studio fund can get crammed down if and when future rounds are needed. Some innovative methods to protect the fund's interest without sabotaging future funding would be useful to have.
There's obviously pro-rata considerations which I think provide a floor, but beyond that, what other considerations should we be thinking about?
This is for portfolio construction modeling and some assumptions that we're making.
Lots of GPs I talk to mention they are basically equivalent, Decile Hub didn't give me much context on this either.
Fund I has no reserves and is investing in Seed stage. In future, I hope to establish a Fund II with follow-on reserves, investing in Seed plus Series A. If I get pro rata rights from my investments in Fund I, can I use those rights to invest using the new Fund II?
This question came up as it tied together several common themes, including the overall success rate of emerging funds (i.e, a fund that failed will not reach profitability), fund model between distributed/concentrated/hybrid, capital deployment, and liquidity events. At the same time, emerging funds have shown the ability to outperform, so I would love to learn more about when they are able to reach profitability and greatly reduce risk while retaining upside.
Regarding vesting schedules, % of the company, Key People considered, at which point in the startup's development it should be defined.
In Step 3 of Sprint 8 of the Venture Institute program, one of the tasks states: Then, adjust the model inputs to create a $10 MM fund with no follow-on investments, setting the average investment, graduation rates, types of exits and other variables. I have an idea as to what it might be, but I don't want to assume.
• Investment Valuations: • Common valuation methods and update frequencies. • Impact on financial statements and documentation requirements.
I have been doing a lot of research and can't seem to find any Canadian equivalents to Angelist, Carta, and Sydecar. Brightspark Capital utilizes SPVs, and I know they are creating a beta SPV product, but it's currently not released publicly. I am based out of Toronto, and aiming to invest in mostly Canadian & US startups. I wanted to do syndicates to help build up the track record, but again, I've been struggling to find a provider here in Canada. If anyone has any leads for a provider, let me know!
Does anyone has an advise for a portfolio / account management company in Europe, specifically in the Netherlands?
One of the LPs asked me what happens if a company has not exited by the time the fund closes (if it is a ten year fund and a startup we have invested in hasn't had an exit) - what is the response? How do we disperse funds if the startups are still operating? Do we have to sell the shares we own in a private market or somehow the founders are required to show us returns or what happens if there is no liquidation?
I'm trying to use the video feature in the PACT but it doesn't work. I have uploaded it into Hub and also tried it directly from YouTube. Has something changed? Am I doing something wrong here?
I have a variable to track that we have verified the prospect is accredited. I want to set that to go to the next stage in an automation. But the only variable I can set is Percentage. Please advise. [image.png]
Min. of PACTs received? Confidence level on Thesis Feedback (after or even before feedback session)?
Had a meeting with a qualified LP - he was optimistic about the product side but he was unsure how to solve for the CEO problem in the venture studio. He said founders vastly underestimate founders and you wont be able to find a CEO who really digs deep and works on block and tackle to grow the company. Does anyone have any experience with this ?
I asked Decile Base the following question and it responded, "I can't confidently answer this question, please start a new Decile Base post to have this question answered." Below is my question. What are the most common alterations to the traditional 2/20 compensation model seen in healthcare funds?
What terms should we look out for that are particular to PBCs? Does having PBCs in a portfolio cause concern for LPs?
