I host 2 podcasts where I have both listeners and guests who could be LPs and/or part of our deal pipeline. What's the best way to communicate my 'fund to be' without crossing any boundaries?

TL:DR - it's difficult, and we always recommend erring on the side of following regulations. Read the following:

Here are a few things that you should avoid mentioning just to be safe:

Your fund’s name, thesis or fund size, or the fact that you are raising a fund
Your fund’s strategy
Your one sentence pitch

You may be able to carefully talk about:

Your background
The types of companies/founders that you personally are interested in investing in and why
Market inefficiencies that you see
